[cnlst8]

can Olbermann take legal action on the N.Y. Post for this article?

Despicable!

[aquart]

1. Consider the source.

[Erika]

2. The New York Post is as credible as Faux -0-

[Azathoth]

3. That's pathetic, even for the gossip page of a junk tabloid like the NYP

n/t

[Erika]

4. Nice to know KO is out there and known

Go, Keith!

[Lex]

5. Is this the exact same story as

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2353740

and

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2352736

from earlier today?

[Jack_Dawson]

6. Yup

[wtmusic]

7. Oh please

Legal action? I'm sure KO got a chuckle out of it.

If that's the best they can do...

[lvx35]

24. Yeah, even if its true...

..so what? Who HASN'T had a lame sexual expierence. And these people pass that off as news??? Even a freeper has to be wise to how dumb that is.

[Kurovski]

8. Don't know.

I ain't goin' to that link. :puke:

[Vexatious Ape]

9. Damn, thats rough.

He must be doing a great job for that fascist rag to go after him in that manner.

[Lex]

10. A single man having consensual sex in a hotel room!

Oh my God.

Stop the presses. No felafel or sexual harassment suits involved either.


The repukes are so pathetic, aren't they?

[Kierkegaard]

15. It looks more like a hit job than consensual sex...

If you read the blog of the creepy thing that is making all the noise, she explains that this information was never supposed to see the light of day (even though she posts it on the internets) and the Post took the info (she was 'utterly shocked and horrified') from her blog without permission.

Reading further, she goes on a tear to generally disparage his character. What I find particularly telling is that there is quite a bit of partisan politics involved, where I don't really see what that would have to do with their supposed sexual relationship...

[gully]

17. Agreed. Why would a conservative be interested in bedding Olbermann

in the first place? Who is this woman, Ann Coulter? She's a freak! And the fact that the post would print this garbage speaks for itself.

[Lex]

19. No I don't believe it either.

But even it were true, it's hardly a scandal--not like O'Reilly or Foley or the other Repuke sleazes.

[Clark2008]

36. Yep and I wrote her and called her on it:

You splatter this gossip all over the internet and then don't expect it to be in a newspaper? It's public domain, you twit.

No wonder you had such a lousy time with Keith - you're too stupid to know any better.

[e-mail]

[Kierkegaard]

39. It's interesting.

I looked through the comments on a couple of the threads on her site. She may be parsing them to stifle any 'dissent,' but I didn't really see much in the way of skepticism from posters. Smells even more like a ripe tuna to me.

Why do I feel like Herr Kkkarl is reading your comment right now?

[Clark2008]

50. I emailed it to her. I didn't post it on her site.

Unless, of course, she IS Herr KKKarl.

[datadiva]

11. I read this earlier today, I cracked up.

It was so blatantly attacking at straws it was obvious.

[gully]

12. Sorry but who gives a shit what this unstable nut bag of a woman

supposedly said after she supposedly had sex with KO and supposedly got dumped? Apparently KO wasn't impressed either? Not only do I doubt the story is truthful, however if it is KO probably figured out that she was a psycho and got the hell out ASAP.

I just got back from reading her obsessive blog. :scared:



"Oh Keith, why did you leave me!? "What did I do wrong?!"

FUH-REEK!

[kiki]

33. Why, I think I smell boiled rabbit...

...mixed with the unmistakable aroma of right-wing bullshit.

[hsher]

13. Republicans

Boy, the sack has split open, and what's spilling out smells to high heaven.

I swear this is like the moment your sick-fuck alcoholic uncle finally loses that last brain cell and shows everyone at the Christmas gathering the private crap his family's had to put up with secretly for decades. You know it by the name Daddy's In Mommy's Panties In Front Of The Neighbors This Time: "Hey, America, look at our big ass dysfunction here! We're fucked-up about sex! We're super obsessed with sex! We gotta problem with sex, y'all! Come and get it, come on, come see: we're the Republicans, come lookit us, we gotta real freak button when it comes to sex! Sex sex sex! Come on, lock us up now, take us away!"

This kind of shitbomb-exploding episode usually precedes arrest and a padded room. Or should we sum it up by simply saying, "Hm, the right-wing appears to reached its Fleeing White Bronco Moment..."

14. I sent an email to the author:

At first I thought you were doing the fortune cookie game.

So apparently you have never heard of "groupies" before? Any person who would fly out to meet a famous person and be in bed with them within the hour is a groupie, no different from the sluttish throng outside the stage door at a rock concert.

Keith Olbermann is popular, intelligent, and attractive. He's going to attract women who are interested in bedding him. He's not married, and he's not IMing underage boys, so your smear piece about him pretty much boils down to sour grapes.

Sounds like he wasn't too impressed with your source and resorted to "pity sex" and excuses to get out of her presence. A heterosexual guy had a booty call; this qualifies as news to your rightwing publication?

[gully]

16. Well said!

20. apparently the "author" is not accepting email:

21. Wow, that's a shocker.

:sarcasm:

[tenshi816]

26. Send your e-mail to the Post's editor too!

Just to make sure, because the article's author is just going to ignore and delete. Whenever I e-mail someone at a publication to complain, I always send a copy to the editor.

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. !

:thumbsup:

[hsher]

18. The site's scary

Too much KO. It's obsessive and weird. I thought *I* was obsessed with The *Daily* Show. Jesus Christ, this woman's got me and about 3,000,000 people beat.

[cui bono]

22. cuckoo cuckoo

From her site:

I had two primary purposes in the beginning this blog. One was to work through the experience as I was left with an array of emotions that ran the gamut from anger to sorrow to bewilderment. The second was to warn others who might be in the same position as I was, having an email relationship or more with him. And I did hear from other women, several in fact, who shared their stories privately with me, and here on this blog.

Work through her emotional exerience on her blog???

And the list of links on the right is all KO stuff.

Um, no wonder he sent her packing. If it really did happen, I'm sure once he met her in person he saw the real her, the creepy, pathetic her.

[grasswire]

23. Is it true the woman is Lloyd Groves' wife?

That's what I heard.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

27. You'd almost think Olbermann worked for News Corp..

What better way to help increase his ratings and get his name out there?

[patrick t. cakes]

28. im glad im not famous

doesnt seem fun.

what a nut.

[w4rma]

29. Hahaha! Omg. Obsessive. (nt)

[tenshi816]

30. This is so creepy.

Let's recap: This woman had a big crush on Olbermann, so much so that she went to NYC to meet him, jumped straight into the sack with him in less than an hour, and is now so pissed off beyond belief that he didn't want to see her again that she started a blog with the sole purpose of trying to make Keith look bad.

Aside from the fact that all this makes the woman ("Karma") come off as an obsessive stalker, it also seems that she's missing what's obvious to the rest of us: Lady, Keith Olbermann's just not interested in getting to know you any better than he already has.

Really, her big tip-off should've been at the beginning - when she travelled to New York to see him instead of the other way around. I wouldn't be at all surprised to discover that it started off with Olbermann saying something like "if you're ever in the area, look me up" and she took it to mean that he desperately wanted to meet her. When they finally did meet, she thought it meant more than it did and he just thought he was getting an itch scratched.

I'll never understand why some people expect celebrities to behave differently than other people. A lot of men would've done exactly what Keith Olbermann did in the same situation, but he's supposed to be different, somehow? Please. It was a one-night stand that this woman participated in willingly. If she didn't want or expect a one-night stand, then maybe she shouldn't have had sex with a virtual stranger within 45 minutes of meeting him face to face.

People with unrealistic expectations are always disappointed.

Edited for typo

[fasttense]

31. Well, well, well, a grown man has sex with a grown woman.

No underage pages involved, no sexually harassing phone calls to employees. What a really boring story. Maybe he should write a porn story like Libby and O'Lielly. But if it is normal sex (no bears involved) with a normal adult woman it would never sell.

[sweetpotato]

32. The thing here is

The thing here is that Olbermann must really be getting to them. They've (the media) has started picking on Jon Stewart, too.

They - the repubs - must be afraid of Olbermann and Stewart and what they have to say to take notice and start to smear.

[radfringe]

34. HORRIBLE, despicable, awful

that may well be - HOWEVER, it's also validation for KO

his commentaries are striking nerves. It's one thing to receive applause and positive reactions from the choir, but to really know if you have made your point just gauge it by the attacks

if KO commentaries were not relevant and in tune with public opinion there would be no smear campaign, at best there would be chuckles and head shakes passing KO off as a "nutjob" - however the level and ferocity of the attacks says KO is hitting the nail on the head

in an odd way, (and to paraphrase Cheney) "...it's a sign of desperation..."

[colonel odis]

37. maybe it's congressional pages playing a prank

[mcscajun]

38. Why would he want to? Answering such bullshit only elevates it

And as Max Schumacher (WIlliam Holden) said in the famous film "Network": "Why is it that a woman always thinks that the most savage thing she can say to a man is to impugn his cocksmanship?"

I'm sure Olbermann has heard of the story and is having a damned good laugh over it. He's not running to his lawyers, even if in fact, he did have a one-night stand with this obsessed woman.

Lastly, I find it hard to believe, among the many things in the Post item I find hard to believe, that Olbermann speaks in Shakespearean quotes to his bedmates. "For this relief much thanks."

40. Difference between NY Post and a roll of toilet paper?

One will get newsprint on your ass.

[bling bling]

41. Well, don't let people HIT THEIR SITE with your link, for one thing. n/t

[AnnInLa]

42. One word: STUPID

pay no attention....I'm sure KO will not pay attention to this.

[The Stranger]

43. Here are the lies of David Sanger in the New York Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/10/world/asia/10assess.html?hp&ex=1160539200&en=4476571b6d74d04a&ei=5094&partner=homepage

As Democrats were quick to note on Monday, four weeks before a critical national election, President Bush and his aides never gave as much priority to countering a new era of proliferation as they did to overthrowing Saddam Hussein.

Liar David Sanger does not report that the Democrats have been saying this for fucking five years.

[Malikshah]

44. Then they fight you.... Then you Win.

NYpost is doing exactly what we should want them to do--

It will bite them in their cottage cheese buttocks.

[oc2002]

45. The NYpost is not fit to read.

lol.

[BoneDaddy]

46. Sounds like

sour grapes to me.
Kanye West had a song about that.

[npincus]

47. Keith bad in bed? --I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT!

please!

[Raffi Ella]

48. HA!

omg,if this is all they can come up with for Keith then he's golden.I wouldn't be surprised if it got him more viewers from the right wingers since all that gets their attention is a sex story.

Billions a week on Iraq while N.O. languishes?Good Deal!Soldiers dying daily?That's the price of Freedom,Go'Murika!Habeas corpus?Fine,take it away georgie!Torture?Sure go'head with your bad self!Wire Tapping?Hot damn!Get them A-rabs!Consensual sex with an adult woman who says he broke up with her after sleeping with her...?Woah,hold up!What's goin' on here...?Who's this Olbermann guy?


Go Keith,you're gettin' to'em Big Guy. :evilgrin: :patriot:

[ellacott]

49. Just heard on Stephanie Miller's show that Liz Smith is a fan of O'Reilly

A caller said that Liz Smith has a dedication on the back of his new book. She is supposedly saying that he reminds her of Gen. Patton.

That is a partial explanation of why they are targeting Olberman. I wouldn't be surprised if they sent him that powder in the mail.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

51. In a way, this is a good sign, you know that Keith is leaving a mark if

they are going after him with the hatchet job.
