Who says there’s no good news? Sure the Iranians are making threatening noises about something big happening on Feb. 11, and the U.S. government has all but promised the American people that there will be a major attack on the homeland before the summer.
So let’s all take a deep breath, have a bracing swig of something refreshing, and concentrate instead on what’s right with the world: the imminent end of Keith Olbermann’s nightly exercise in untrammeled moonbattery, Countdown.
Yes, that would be the hardly watched show on MSNBC hosted by the most celebrated graduate of Cornell Cow College:
Whoops! Our error. We meant this guy:
Same difference. But somewhere, as the rest of the media finally catches on to Keith’s tired act, Dan Abrams is smiling.
So, what’s next on the downward career spiral for the Worst Person in the World? Getting canned from Football Night in America?

It would be about time for this blowhard to be off the air. Who can stand listening to this pompous ass. He sucks at football and any other sport as well. He is really one of those guys that liked to hang around the locker room for "other" reasons.
I hope they keep him on, I suspect that the vast majority of his 13 viewers are conservatives who look forward to his waaay-over-the-top, and utterly delusional, rants. Where will we ever get rants calling a Republican candidate "irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against women"? Who will fill that void? KO has done us a huge favor by making a cartoonish mockery of the MSM and its lefty statist propaganda. I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE! No one is doing nearly so good of a job of exposing the MSM for what it is as KO. Good-by, Keith, we barely knew ye.
I have always found his brand of entertainment to be quite amusing. Unfortunately for Keith, he has become so accustomed to telling lies, he no longer seems to be able to separate truth from fiction in his own mind. Lately, his attitude toward anything he deems to be anti-progressive has become so antagonistic, and his obvious hatred so blantantly obvious, he has left good entertainment behind him. He is useless to his network and whatever his "cause" actually is. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
Whoa! You should put a date to that Abrams thing (2006)…I read "ratings for his show and his network are on the rise" and I thought it was another sign of the Apocalypse!
Doug is exactly right. The only time I watched KO on purpose was to get its reaction to Scott Brown's win. Highly entertaining.
Damn!!! Damn, damn, damn, damn!!!!
I just SO wanted to have an opportunity to eat a big ol' plate of beans, wander onto his set and rip a fat, wet balloon of a FART right at the beginning of a show.
But since his days are numbered, ALAS! I'll have to forego the pleasure of live stink and make due with the possibility that I can send him a bottled flatus for his personal enjoyment, if he finds a new career.
I SO
When a commentator runs out of thing s to say that have "merit" (a stretch in Olbemanns case I know) and just rely on continuous ad hominem attacks against EVeRYONE who is not left of Mao, then it's time to hang up the Depends and go home. Don't let the door hit on the ass on the way out Keith, and remember to hit the light switch on MSNBC while you are at it.
OH NO! With out Keith, who will talk down to us? Who will stay up all night looking thru his Thesaurus for really big words to spew out in some rant against a conservative. Where will I get all my mis-information and twisted logic? Keith you'll always be on top….scum always rises.
I stopped watching Monday Night Football because of Al Michaels. Then NBC hired him, then they put Olberman on FNA. I can't watch it at all. I sincerely hope that this moron does go away, at least then I can watch the pregame…..
Maybe this will be the domino effect, and next in line would be Mr. Rachel Maddow, then Mrs. Chris Matthews, and ultimately PMSNBC.
But oh the entertainment they provide will be missed…for a few seconds.
Years ago, SNL did a skit with the subject being nutball and then constant Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche was played by Randy Quaid. LaRouche constantly launched into paranoid nonsequitirs of questions asked of him each of them punctuated with strange and disconnected off hand references to deep dark conspiracies which he uttered with the confidence of someone who knew he was the only one with this secret knowledge.
More and more watching Olbermann I am reminded of that skit. Life imitates art.
I'd just like to bitch slap those glasses off of his smug face. I would even let him take the first shot.
Can Olbermann's job survive his anger without his phoniness.Now there's a true Hard Lefties quandary.
Back off the cow. He is not only welcome here. He'll have plenty of grass and water and affection.
Farm animals welcome. Human excrement is what we flush into the leach field.
Not to worry Love, we still have barack obama.
For last guest, I nominate:
Ann Coulter!!
He could finally beat O'Reilly in the ratings!
Agreed, although I must confess I don't watch him either.
When the Right was on defense, this guy was insufferable, but with the good guys on offense, he's simply hilarious. He's like Baghdad Bob now.
Well, this has me a bit worried. I mean, where will he go? What will he do?
Frankly, my dear, I DO give a damn.
I've been able to successfully avoid this 99th-rate D-lister because I don't watch PMSNBC.
However, there is a home for those kind of people.
Now, I rather enjoy watching the commentary of Brad Loekley, Tanya Harding, Leif Garrett, Judy Gold, and, of course, Danny Bonaduce on "The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest __________".
Most of them are quite entertaining, but Olberdork could really mess up the mix.
Now, if TSG decides to start a new show for World's Dumbest TV News Political Commentator, I could get into *that*.
Just don't let Olberdork near the greenscreen, okay?
I think Keith should just go over to SNL as a faux newscaster, and Rachael could be his co-host, something like the old SNL with Jane Curtin and Dan Akroid. Then we could all just laugh at them without feeling embarrassment at the same time because they wouldn't be able to call themselves "legitimate" news media broadcasters any more. It would make them more legitimate as the comedians they really are…
Pack Yer Bags Dumbass
Oble-who?
Better yet, they could resurrect "Pigs in Space". KO, Matthews and Maddow. They are well suited for that pork type of a show.
You can bet your devalued dollars to do-nuts that if Keith Oldboreman gets the axe that there will be someone even better ( tongue in cheek ) to jump in. Can you imagine how much fun it would be for us if they passed the sputtering torch to someone of say Janeane Garofolo's diminutive stature and intelect? I get tingles up and down my leg just thinking about it!! HoooHahahahah!
Keith Olbermann's animal husbandry aside (is it he, who put the Corn in Cornell?), when you get bent over and spanked by Jon Stewart for being too extreme leftist…you are pretty much rendered useless anyway.
The Little Red Bears' farm team, has a lot of snarl apparently (or at least weasel snark)..and it comes across very red, indeed.
If I was associated with Olbermann, it would make me so ashamed, I might almost turn a brighter shade of carnelian.
I can't beleive you are going after Cornell grads here. Cornell University has 7 distinct colleges, all of them are part of Cornell University which is a member of the IVY league. Please revise your article to only bash those you are intending too.
That is not as off the wall as you think; All they would have to do is what they are doing now and it would be just as hilarious!! At least they would be paid for what they do best… entertain!
Let's see now, on PSMBC prime time you have a homo, a lesbian, and a species yet fully studied, understood and named, one which gets tingly legs and goes blind at the strangest things. I suggest PSMBC go to re-runs of "Petticoat Junction", "Green Acres" and "My Mother the Car." Problem is, they will get less laughs.
Perhaps in a gesture of journalistic solidarity, Glenn Beck could have Olberman on his show. The mystery of whether or not conservatives have the power to make lefties heads explode could finally be answered.
The more Olberman speaks, the more he discredits the liberal base. I say keep him where he is, lock up the liberal timeslot to that recognized lunatic. Watching him is like watching jackass and waiting for the next painful event. Maddow is pretty much the same routine, let the enemy continue to drown in their own vomit.
You might want to correct your spelling and grammar before you complain. Three sentences. Three errors. Just saying…
hopefully he gets the nod as the WPIW in the final segment.
Hey MADDOW….You're next.
Don't be so sensitive Matt. Olberman attended one of the University's state schools, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He had been bragging about his Ivy League education and Ann Coulter had to set the record straight. You would have been able to find that out for yourself if you had taken the time to click on the link provided.
Now, go put so salve on your wounds.
He's stomach turning.. the only time he's lasted more than a minute on my tv was for the olympics.. I really wanted to enjoy the opening ceremonies but he and Costas were just too sickening. and it seemed they were on most every time i tried to watch an event too. – i bet their ratings sucked
Say it aint so…Keif Olberdork leaving PMSNBC! Who will become the full on barking moonbat for the press…Chrissy Mathews, Rachel Madcow? I too am disappointed that we will not get to witness his complete breakdown, perhaps “reality TV?”
Keith was unwatchable years ago on ESPN. He has really gone off the deep end in recent years. When Brown won I did think his head was going to explode. He looked pretty close. I echo the sentiment of other posters here who want to keep him on the air, at least until November, when he can spontaneously combust when the Dems lose control of the congress. High comedy indeed.
You're kidding, right? By the way, it's "'i' before 'e' except after 'c', or when pronounced 'ay' as in 'neighbor' or 'weigh.'" Just in case you're serious, I offer this excerpt from a column by Chairman Ann, at http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?a...
If you've ever watched any three nights of his show, you know that Olbermann went to Cornell. But he always forgets to mention that he went to the school that offers classes in milking and bovine management.
Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent "Ivy League" education, boasting to Playboy magazine, for example: "My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class."
Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.
Good Riddance to a complete boring dolt.
And Howard Dean, and Hillary Clinton, and the other MSNBC personalities, and ….
Yeah, but why would Ann walk into an unfair fight? That's like Coulter debating my 8-yo son.
Never mind, that's not fair, either. My 8-yo son would beat Olbermann in a debate, too.
May I suggest putting a heavy tuned steel bucket over his head and have him sit beside uh, ummm, uh uh, umm, the a um , you know, uh oh whats his name John uh um, uh, well that guy, and every time he wants to bitchslap a conservative just smak the bucket instead with a NASA type hammer.
I've got a few photoshops of Bathtub Boy in this Flickr set. But, does he really have to go? Who will they put in his place? Schyster? Schultzy? Move Maddow down and put "I-know-nothing!" in at 9ET? Maybe the brilliant Brewer can take his spot. Mornin' Joe? (I'm bett'n on Joe…)
I'm sure he knows how to show a cow a REALLY good time. My guess is he'd only enjoy the aroma of bottled flatus and get a thrill up his leg.
If Conservatives would stop watching this cow tipper for the entertainment factor his numbers would bottom out. Let's cut him off. He's poison which needs to be flushed.
I'm sure Jeanine Gaggerflow would likely take his place, tanking the network once and for all. Here's hoping.
HAHA! Hey, I once used that body on your Matthews to do Michael Moore, after I bloated certain body parts.
I don't know guys. I think I'll be upset if he goes on the air. I mean, what will we make fun of? But I can see this as a beautiful thing. Leftists (like the ones I knew at college) believed conservative media like Fox News, Limbaugh, Hannity et. al. should be shut down and thrown off the air. Conservatives (like me) wanted people like Olbermann to have as much air time as he wanted. I'm for freedom of speech and conservatives believed that there was no need to silence Olbermann or Air America for that matter. I say: "Let them kick their own arses." And that's what they did. If it is true that Olbermann is going to be off the air…I say to him "Good Night, and Good Luck." I will miss him and his idiotic logic and his borderline insanity.
Goodspeed Olberdouche
I agree with many posters on here…keep him! Who in the world will fill that BIG of a void to make fun of? I don't watch him, but I see his video clips all over the place with all of us making fun of him. There should be a poll of people on these "shows" of which personality is made fun of the most. My money would be on KO.
Keith Olbermann, RIP.
Has TAX CHEAT olbermann EVER paid his $100,000+ in past-due taxes in California and New York?
Straight up!
The only thing more painful than reading that incoherently written piece at the L.A. Times (I guess losing one of their mouthpieces reduces them to babbling) are the comments that are trying to blame the failure of Olbermann on conservatives (I guess the left can't take responsibility for anything). Those people are delusional. Yeah, we're the ones spouting hate. What was is Olbermann called Scott Brown again? I'm sure "racist" was included in that rant somewhere.
Not to worry, he will live forever on You Tube
I guess he'll just have to be satisfied with those commercials he does for that cut-rate travel company. You know, the ones where he flies around on that UFO thingy… coz he's an alien.
He shares George Soros' love of young Indonesian boys.
Stop picking on Cornell Veterinarian School. They have a great program, great faculty, and they help out the rural farmers in the area with sick animals.
It;s not their fault one of their former students turned out to be a turd.
Janeane, the tea bagging expert?
if Keith Olbermann had balls he would be Rachel Maddow
I wont even stoop that low. MSNBC is blocked on my TV. After all, I wouldn't want my exposed to that communist nonsense…
I'm with you there. Only time I watch FNA is when Olbie is sick/on vacation
An evening spent tipping cows would be preferable to watching one minute of Countdown to Insanity with that goon. However who will keep the crazies off of the streets during his time slot? He did serve a purpose in that regard.
Do you mean teabaggee expert?
I haven't had television for over four years but I have seen this guy on net videos. It's like a car wreck. I've been so fascinated by the show that the house burned down around me and I didn't notice. It's so surreal I've had my doubts it was real. I'd sure like to meet him in person–kicking the living **** out of a guy like him has always been therapeutic for me.
LOL- you owe me a new keyboard after that one!
wow, so what are you gonna talk about if this guy you apparently hate goes off the air? No one is watching him, well except right wing bloggers praying for a good sound bite to slam him for. His television demise surely doesnt make me feel better about a major attack on america thats supposed to be coming sometime soon. This website should be sad at the Olbermann demise! Not to mention this hack is FAR FROM ‘Worst Person in the World'. Why embellish this jackass? he is nothing but a second rate attack dog for the left, Im thinking even the left doesnt give two sh@#s about him, because NO ONE WATCHES HIS SHOW! He has no pull on policy no pull in the current administration, why should you, or I care if he continues to spew his nonsense on tv? The site is called "Big Journalism" not "SmallTimeDoucheBagHack.com"
I keep watching thinking one night when he goes off on one of his psychotic rants that his head will explode. I'm not sure the guy is real. He reminds me of Max Headroom, have you ever seen them in the same room together?
That's a great idea! Replace a putz with a douche!
He would probably whip your backside
wow, thats deep hate if you stop watching monday night football because of a dude… you know, you do have a mute button
Rim shot!
Who listens? Those poor suffering cameran crew and the producers.
i hate this guy ~ His show sucks and his ideals are even suckier!
What's wrong with Al? I thought he even made Madden bearable, plus he's also a conservative. If Limbaugh can't own a team, the NFL shouldn't have the even more controversial (well if more people knew about him anyhow) Olberman on their Sunday night pregame.
If Rachel had a pair she would be slamming out of the chute in a rodeo.
I'll make sure spell check is on this time. The point is that this post is allowing idiots like Doug to think there is a difference in the Arts and Ag school. There is not.
So long as whatever he does involves getting beaten with socks filled with D Cell batteries on a daily basis I am cool with it.
No liberals I am not wishing violence on Keith Obermann. I am however wishing that he takes a job that involves getting beaten with socks filled with batteries. There is a difference.
give olberdork a break – he was a band geak and towel boy and we all know what their problems were with the real jocks
kind of like obozo's problem with the real Americans
msnbc will keep olberdork, cuz without obozo and the loons watching, msnbc would literally have no ratings
for the first time – I could actually watch more that 1 minute of olberdork when brown was showing him and his fellow America haters the reaction of America to obozo and the fellow loons
the other alphabets would hire madcow, mathews and ed to cover obozo incompetence
you ever been hit by a girl?
but, keithie could probably outgirl obozo
BOYCOTT GE — PARENT COMPANY OF MSNBC
to show support of my ideology as opposed to keith olberloon, I contacted his handers and offered to be waterboarded torture if he would take the abortion torture – as expected, I got no response
and Mary Jo Koepeckne could not be reached for comment
Don't forget "Dead-In-the-Head" Ed Schultz. He is serious up and coming competition to take Keith's place in MSDNC Moonbat Olympics.
I did not know that. I swear, the more we learn about these regressives the scarier. I'm still trying to figure out what the terrorist fist pump is.
I think the teabaggee is the recipient.
They could call it 'Whack a Fool'.
Afternoon all. At this point there is no reason the replace KO (other than trying to save salary dollars). The ratings are unlikely to get any worse as his viewers are now down to the "true believers" of the left. The same thing goes for Rachel Maddow. MSNBC owns this segment and the advertisers are probably ok with that as I'm sure they are paying a very reduced rate for ad time. If KO does get replaced it's going to be with someone just as left, just as liberal and just as much of a demigogue as he is.
The only change that may be on the board is when approval for the Comcast purchase goes through. Rumours are that on the day that happens Zucker is out the door. If Comcast decides change MSNBC (and for that matter NBC News) to make it an unbiased organization (meaning straight up news reporting and an actual balance of liberal and conservative opinion shows, (staying away from the extremes of KO and Maddow) then they could start to take a run at the huge market share that Fox has. If that happens then Keith can settle down on the farm with Zsa-Zsa (Huffington), it will be a real "Green Acres" (cue music).
I'm torn… being able to watch the buffoon every night or knowing he's freaking out about being able to pay the rent.
Next Stop, White House Press Secretary!!!. Who else will be able to replace Bobby Gibbs when he finally winds up in the corner sucking his thumb?
MSNBC would get higher ratings if they just went to a test pattern during KO's show. All the MSM sap-suckers and their googly-eyes would be thrilled to watch a black & white screen………it's how they view the world anyway, well, in addition to rainbows and unicorns.
He thinks they'e little fountains of youth, dispensing tadpole smoothies.
Oh man! That's almost too gross for me, even. Considering who we're talking about……Almost.
SCR……you are right. Between KO & Maddow, It is a good combined timeslot for advertisers to sell………..great time slot for maxi pads and hemorrhoid cream ads. Certainly, with these two back to back, there is no need for a Viagra commercial.
Say it aint so!!! Along with Obama, KO is the best thing to happen to this country in a good long time. Together, they have awakened a slumbering giant. Every evening KO shows the mean spirited, shallow, malicious, disingenious, inconsistent and ignorant side of progressivism, as if there is another side. Which there is not, but KO puts in on display, rubbing it into the faces of dozens of viewers every night, so by my calculations our side gains maybe 10 to 20 converts a night.
It's hard to be sad because he is a douchebag hack, AND he's not entertaining.
Who would you like to see replace him in that timeslot?
They've both proven to me that Capitalism really does work. Next, Obama will prove that a Republic is still the greatest place to live on Earth.
I will truly miss "Meltdown with Keith Overwrought" when it finally bites the dust. It's been an unending source of entertainment, watching a supposedly grown man act like a petulant toddler who just had his favorite toy taken away from him. Maybe he can run for the senate in the democratic party and be with a certain other failed left wing commentator.
It's common knowledge that eurotrash pedophiles go there to adopt little boys.
