The Tao of Olbermann

There are things I hate in this world. I hate the American Leauge (real baseball is played in the national leauge). I hate the Indiana Hoosiers (sorry Khaki). But most of all, I REALLY HATE KEITH OLBERMANN!!! Here are my reasons why.

It used to be that Deuce (my little pet name for Olbermann, since he used to be on ESPN2 in the beggining, and not because 'deuce' is also a term for a piece of crap) was good, at sports. Then his first move to MSNBC in the 90's, then on to Fox Sports after that, on to ABC radio for radio commentary, then back to MSNBC to revive 'Countdown' combined for a short time with a return to ESPN radio with former co-hort, Dan Patrick.

Since returning to MSNBC, something happened to Keithy-poo. A combination of his hatred of George W. Bush along with his psychoisis thinking that he is actually the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow, has given Deuce a illuision that he is some sort of 'religious' leader, a religion of hate.

Keith goes thru and on a nightly basis,reveals his "world's worst". And all it seems to get on his list, it to offend his political sensibilities. One night recently, he picked Penn. Gov. Ed Rendell as the worst (a man I don't really like either, a partisan and patently dishonest man), his crime against Deuce-dom? He Praised Fox News Channel for their political coverage being fair to both democrats and republicans, despite DNC chairman Howard Dean's edict to not go on FNC. To Keith, there is no greater crime.

Earlier in the week, Keith picked CNN Headline News/Radio Host Glenn Beck in regaurds with the Wal-Mart insurance affair. Beck's crime was that he differed with how other employees on Headling News applauded Wal-Mart caving to the public pressure, while Beck questioned the affected family.

In the first case, it shows that Keith hates the compitition. That is fine, but he also doesn't respect them, strictly for their content. The second example shows Deuce's other weakness, you MUST BELIEVE THE SAME THING IF YOU ARE ON A PATICULAR NETWORK!!!! Typical of MSNBC, which has a sign on it's door saying "no conservatives need apply".

Another problem is his thinking that he is actually the second coming of Edward R. Murrow. If Murrow saw what Deuce was doing to his name, he would be turning in his grave. Even when Murrow was attacked by Joe McCarthy (missunderstood to this day), Murrow still treated him and his opponets with respect. He didn't say McCarthy's name with so much venom you could hear it literally dripping of his voice. He never gave his compition in the news industry insulting nicknames. He was a gentleman.

So Olby lurks in the bottom of the cable news ratings nightly. Looking up at FNC, CNN and hell even G4 and TVG. But he still plugs along. Not letting truth, respect or even morals stand in his way.

Carry on, Deuce!

It's been reported that Keith runs MSNBC. Makes sense. When you have a clown in charge, don't be suprised when a circus breaks out!
