[NewJeffCT]

1. summary for the cuberats?

Thanks!

[Motown_Johnny]

3. intro was clips from his show.. now they are talking about The Clintons.. now moved on to Billo

hating him....

[ErinBerin84]

2. Barbara sucks

Just said something about MSNBC and their "Republican bashing"...and Elizabeth said "What do you say to people who think that you are soft on Democrats?" and he said "Hillary Clinton didn't think so..." Elizabeth looks so pissed next to him.

[RevCheesehead]

4. Keith's head and shoulders above everyone else!

:loveya:Keith!:loveya:

Joy asks why Billo hates Keith - Keith responds, "Who?"

[ErinBerin84]

5. he looks HUGE....haha.

and Elizabeth snipped "Why did you have to make that little dig at Palin during my football game!" and he said that he thought it was enough of a cultural reference at this point that it is almost more than politics....hehe.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. yep.. he towers above all of them

[RevCheesehead]

9. I think Joy has kind of a crush on him...

Look at her beam at him! :)

[ErinBerin84]

7. good god

now Barabara is saying "what ever happened to objectivity and MSNBC?"

[RevCheesehead]

10. KO responds perfectly:

"by the time I get into the office, the people who watch my show already know more about what's going on in the world before I do."

[ErinBerin84]

13. maybe Elizabeth should watch Rachel Maddow

adn then she would know that she will keep the Democrats in check! Elizabeth is such a fucking hypocrite...she glides easily from Bush to Mitt to McCain, excusing everything they do and constantly contradicting herself. And MSNBC is NOT THAT LIBERAL...can we not have two shows?

[xxqqqzme]

38. He certainly gets enough email from

DUers. I've sent him 'worst' suggestions a number of tome.

[YvonneCa]

47. That is a great answer. And probably...

...very true. ;)

[JohnnyRingo]

8. They should have given him a lower chair

He looms over the others on the set.

[TheWraith]

14. I think he'd have to sit on the floor. He's like 6' 4".

[RevCheesehead]

11. Keith didn't vote!

I understand his reasons, but really... :(

[babylonsister]

18. Major disappointment to me, too. I don't understand his reasons. nt

[Bryn]

25. He didn't vote?

:(

[high density]

49. He said around the 2004 election that he didn't vote because of his job

I figured he would vote this time around given the obvious tilt the show has taken lately.

[Fleshdancer]

12. Did he just say he didn't vote??

:wtf:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Yes, he said it was symbolic and Joy looked very upset. I find that very

disappointing too.

His segment ended on the tail of that.

Meahwile, ElisaTwit looked so Uncomfortable next to him! Good!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

20. He doesn't vote because it is, according to him,

the only remaining claim to being objective rather than partisan.

[FloridaGrl]

24. I love KO but this reasoning is stupid

If you can vote and don't then STFU. That's my opinion.

[prolesunited]

42. Actually, you will find a number of working journalists

who don't vote. Although, KO is hardly objective in his point of view, so I'm not sure how much that matters.

[Mike Daniels]

27. Except that Olbermann is about as objective as Hannity or Bill O.

meaning that he's not objective on his reporting by any stretch of the imagination.

[RevCheesehead]

29. That's why he called it his "last appearance of objectivity."

I'm pretty sure that Keith would admit he wasn't objective in this election.

[Lumpsum]

35. With that said, Olbermann tends to report the facts.

And with them, exposes the hypocrisy of the right.

O'Reilly, on the other hand, distorts and lies any chance he gets.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. That is an absolutely silly reason and even a pompous one.

[RevCheesehead]

43. It's also his choice.

We in this country actually have a right not to vote, if we so choose.
I am one who chose to vote. KO did not. I don't agree with his choice, but I do respect it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. Of course it his right.

[Motown_Johnny]

21. I saw that too, her body language was as if she was withdrawn,

almost curled up in a ball with her arms snuggled in tight to her body


of course he is twice her size, odds are she weighs about 110 and he weighs about 220 (rounding)

[ErinBerin84]

15. I've read that before too...was hoping he had voted this year though.

[Lumpsum]

16. Yeah, Keith doesn't vote.

There's your objectivity, Babs.

[Uzybone]

19. Its really lame and phoney to not vote

as some form of expression of being non biased. Everyone has a bias. I always hated seeing Jim Lehrer talk about how he never votes and this knocks KO down a peg in my book.

Yes I know his vote in NY makes no difference but you still gotta vote man.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. I thought about that...

But he probably swayed more votes than most
Like a vote multiplier.

[RevCheesehead]

26. Keith is the Democratic Diebold!

I'm gonna have to call him that now. :)

[ellacott]

22. He hasn't vote in years

Craig Crawford doesn't vote either. Crawford said his journalism professors encouraged them not to vote because it might cloud thei objectivity or call into question their credibility.

Many journalists don't vote.

[gauguin57]

36. I was a journalist for many years, and I have not missed a primary or general since I turned 18.

Saying you don't vote because you're a journalist is total bullshit, IMHO.

When I was a journalist, I couldn't wear a button or campaign for anyone. But I took great pride in going into that voting booth twice a year. Just because someone's a journalist, doesn't mean they're not a CITIZEN, for Chrissakes. And every citizen has a DUTY to vote.

And no one knows who you voted for ... so how is not voting expressing some sort of objectivity.

I love watching KO, but not voting is ridiculous.

[ellacott]

40. I don't think I could miss voting either

The Repubs tried to make a big deal about Chris Wallace being a registered Democrat. They claim that this shows that he has no bias. The only reason he is a registered Dem is so he could vote in the primaries for local issues because he is in a heavily Dem. district(this was his reason, not mine).

[prolesunited]

44. Unless you vote in a primary in a state

that makes you declare party affiliation.

[nomaco-10]

28. Babwa really needs to pack it. She really brings the show down. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

31. I like when she looked at the camera and warned Rush about the question she would ask him

The woman has serious credentials

she "legitimizes" the show. Without her it is just a collection of .. umm... a former game show contestant, a comedian, and a couple actresses (?)

Who else on that show, or any other talk show, is going to go head to head with Rush? (and most likely win)

[ErinBerin84]

30. Barabara was really beating the

MSNBC is liberal and whatever happened to objectivity?! Can we not have at least two fucking shows of our own?

[RevCheesehead]

32. I think Keith should do "KO was on the View Puppet Theatre" tonight.

Better than a video clip! :)

[goclark]

33. Maybe her abc boss wants her to do that to MSNBC

:shrug:

[Lumpsum]

34. The whole show was terrible.

Joy is the only one with a few brain cells to spare. I don't know how she puts up with those idiots.

[nomaco-10]

37. It has become unwatchable. I thought Whoopi was gonna be...

a great asset, but all she does is drone on and on and wax poetic and hush everybody or change the subject just when it starts to get interesting. babwa is getting more senile by the day. sherri, well, the lights are on but nobody's home. joy is itching to get some shit started and bitzy looks like she could eat nails.

I think this show could be good for a couple of more blowouts. I'll probably just wait for the you tubes though.

[Lumpsum]

39. It was more entertaining with Rosie.

Some of the fights she had with Elizabeth were fantastic.

[wings of progression]

46. I second that

Rosie was the best host.

[blue_onyx]

48. I'm a big Rosie fan

Being a talk show host is a hard thing to do well. That's why so many talks shows fail. Rosie was great, especially when it came to moving the show along and transitioning topics. I like Whoopi and she does call Elizabeth on her BS much more than I thought she would. I, however, don't think the show is a great fit for her. I find the show almost unwatchable and should be canceled already.
