« Arafat Merely "Sleeping," Claims Senior Aide | Main | Worst. Lyrics. Ever. »

Ann Coulter v. Keith Olbermann

It's not pretty, folks. It's worse than the trash-can beat-down Sonny Corleone gave to Carmine in The Godfather.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: CONTAINS SCENES OF INTENSE GORE:

Somberly reporting that "all this data here is from the office of Florida's secretary of state," Olbermann listed five Florida counties where the registrations are majority Democratic -- and yet (!) the counties went for Bush.

A quick glance at the Congressional Almanac indicates that all five counties in Olbermann's conspiracy theory are in the Florida Panhandle, where most people have been registered as Democrats since their grandfathers registered them to vote shortly after the Civil War....

As if anticipating Olbermann's idiotic conspiracy theory two years ago when he wrote the most recent almanac, Michael Barone specifically notes that these Panhandle counties -- though still majority Democratic in party registrations -- have been voting for Republicans for president for many years. This would include the 2000 presidential election when the three voting districts at the centerpiece of Olbermann's conspiracy theory voted for Bush by 69 percent, 66 percent and 57 percent. The only way Barone could have made this any clearer to the "Countdown" host would have been to begin the chapter, "Dear Keith Olbermann ..."

...

The only scandal is that a purported news program would raise insinuations of vote fraud based on the party registration of Southern Democrats living in the Florida Panhandle -- without anyone at the show checking the Congressional Almanac. (It's especially attractive to be promoting a theory based on a lack of basic information, in the self-righteous, smug manner of Keith Olbermann.)

No election in the United States can be discussed intelligently without reference to Michael Barone's Congressional Almanac. At any half-serious television news station, the Congressional Almanac is as common as a phonebook.

But at MSNBC, Keith Olbermann can go on air with the major breaking story that five conservative Democratic Panhandle counties voted for Bush, without one person on the show: (1) consulting the Congressional Almanac, (2) looking at the results of the 2000 election, or (3) apparently ever having heard of "Southern Democrats." (They're all Republicans now!)

In case you needed more on the genius theories being hatched on MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann," even if every one of these counties went unanimously for Kerry -- count them up, Keith! -- that's still, at most, about 50,000 votes. Bush won by 350,000 votes in Florida.

So I guess we can add "math" to Keith's growing "I Don't Do" file, along with "Reading the Congressional Almanac," "Basic Show Prep," "Getting My Attitude in Line With My IQ" ... (By the way, shouldn't Keith Olbermann be avoiding "time is running out" motifs wherever possible?)

Memo to Olbermann: "Smug" is hard one to pull off. You have to have something to at least partly back that attitude up. When you're a borderline imbecile, it's very difficult indeed.

Smug, lazy, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

I love her.

She is just so, well, "rough".

And you can bet that if Bush and the Republicans we put Our faith in fuck up, Ann will be there in black leather with a whip.

"Ann will be there in black leather with a whip."

God! Stop it Scott. I'm getting hot just thinking about it.

It was Carlo, not Carmine, who got the trashcan beating by Sonny in the Godfather.

Fav line: "Come on, you think i'd make my sister a widow?"

Uh, yup.

I love Ann, she is a total bitch but in that good way. She is like Ball Breaker Barbie. I love when she gets under Alan Colmes' skin and he starts stuttering.

Posted by: Jennifer on November 10, 2004 11:11 PM

I thought it was "Come on, you think i'd make this kid an orphan before he was born?" I could be totally screwing this up with another line. I have seen those movies so many times it just runs together.

"Smug, lazy, and stupid is no way to go through life, son".

Ace, you have just listed the qualifications necessary to work for the MSM.

Posted by: on November 10, 2004 11:55 PM

There I did a blind comment again.

Ace, Is there any way you can kick back a comment that does not have a name.

Posted by: Jake on November 10, 2004 11:57 PM

As the Duke said, lo these many moons ago, "Life is tough. It's tougher if you're Keith Olbermann."

Posted by: Mr. Bowen on November 11, 2004 12:47 AM

Nice bodyslam. Olbermann is... unpleasant. It's the combination of oily hubris and strident dim-wittedness. He's in-your-face stupid. He should be sportscaster or something.

BTW, for a minute there I thought I was reading Ace and that the blockquote was part of some joke to be revealed at the end.

Posted by: rdbrewer on November 11, 2004 12:47 AM

That was one of the most surprising things about getting a television after nearly four years of doing without--that Olbermann had been promoted from sports-doofus to news & talk-doofus.

He was insufferable doing sports, why would anyone want to watch him do the news? Whose bright idea was that?

Posted by: H.D. Miller on November 11, 2004 01:13 AM

In addition to Olbermann peddling the theory that Bush stole the election to his viewer,...

Tree...Forest...Get It? Very dry.

Man, that was brutal.

Hot, even.

ann coulter makes my balls wobble. yet she looks like she hasnt eaten solid food in at least a decade

Posted by: gummo on November 11, 2004 05:17 AM

Yes, the fellow whose soul was just too beautiful to work for ESPN or talk about what Clinton did with Lewinsky is now a foot soldier passing on conspiracy theories for the Democratic Underground, or worse.

Posted by: Tom on November 11, 2004 09:58 AM

Coulter is priceless! I crack up every time I read one of her articles. She really has a way with words.

Posted by: opine6 on November 11, 2004 10:24 AM

Do you ever stop to think that these are real people you're talking about with real feelings? I cried for hours after reading your cruel posting. What do I tell my children when their classmates read your blog and taunt them with your words? Oh the pain, oh the cruelty!

Posted by: Keith Olbermann on November 11, 2004 12:33 PM

"keith olberdope,"
stupid is as stupid does.

If you love Ann, you must be one of the stupidest people on the planet.

Ann Coulter probably has some intelligence, but she sold out long ago to the dark Gods of Republican elitism. Her theories are easily debunked (if you care to leave Faux News and Rush long enough to do a quick Google) and her Adam's apple drives me insane.

Keith Olbermann, on the other hand, is brilliant. He's also a Cornell graduate, like the bitchy Coulter, but has actually used his intelligence for the betterment of us all and not just for his pocketbook. I think if you'll check his facts, you'll see that this is A.) an on-going story in which facts change and B.) the only newsman out there who is looking out for democracy.

Maybe you Republican twits are so scared Bush might actually not have won that you're willing to give up your democracy in allowing these unsecured, paperless machines to count our votes. I, for one, wouldn't want to feed any personal information of mine into a machine that uses a Windows OS. Those are the most easily-hacked pieces of trash on the market - granted a mass market.

I am an Independent who thinks Bush is a fascist imbicle of the highest resort. He is committed to taking about your freedoms by scaring the life out of you: if you work for a small business, I hope you're ready to pay for your own health care; those of you who are barely making it - I hope you're ready to work until you drop, because you're not going to be able to purchase your own stock on which to retire - unless you're just generally sharp that way and know which stocks to buy without a broker (I don't and will readily admit it).

Keith isn't too worried about Ann and, frankly, neither am I. I rather suspect his ratings will be up, tremendously, next time they're counted. He's the most popular newscaster now amongst the Independent and Democrat set - and there are still 49 percent of us. If you count the third-party voters, guess what? We're at 50 percent, all.

Divided right down the middle.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
