Keith live-blogging SOTU on Twitter.

[sabrina 1]

Lol, he's having a ball ~

http://twitter.com/#!/KeithOlbermann

Here are a couple of his tweets ~

Mixed Dem-Rep seating makes it easier for POTUS to point and shout "I didn't get a harrumph out of that guy!" #SOTU

Guess he's been reading the 'KO for Senate' posts:

Kerry, McCain, Lieberman just entered Chamber together. With his announcement, golly, who'll be running for Lieberman's seat? #SOTU

edited to add a couple of his tweets which are coming fast now. I kind of liked these. I can hear the chuckle in his voice:

Bipartisan seating has the Sen. DeMint who applauded the Tea Party next to the Sen. DeMint who sold out the Tea Party #SOTU!



With bipartisan seating, wondering how many will unintentionally stand up, or forget to, because of who's sitting next to them. #SOTU

Edited again to include his twitter pic. for anyone who doesn't do twitter. Which a rarely do either btw.





Anyhow, for anyone who misses him tonight, he's tweeting away on the SOTU.

1. Yep it is fun

[gateley]

2. Thanks sabrina 1! He won't be refrained from saying what he really feels, not

that he did much, anyway. :7 :hi:

[sabrina 1]

5. He's definitely having fun. I guess he couldn't resist

and this probably means he is not restricted from talking on the internet!

[gateley]

27. I heard he could "be" anywhere except on television. Don't know if that's accurate,

though, he didn't run the agreement by me. :7

[sabrina 1]

71. Lol!

[elleng]

3. Thx. Pls post as you can, for we non-twits.

[sabrina 1]

4. Lol, here's another funny one from Keith just for you:

POTUS is in the house. Quick cutaway of Boehner crying? #SOTU

[elleng]

6. GREAT ONE! THX!!!

[gateley]

29. You can just go to the link and read what he has to say (that's what I'm doing) and

but I have to refresh to kind of keep up. Don't know if those who are Tweeters have to.

[PDJane]

7. Thanks...........

I forgot that he's still on twitter! It's a joy........

[proud patriot]

8. Wheeeeee!

:D

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. Love this one:

Bipartisan seating has the Sen. DeMint who applauded the Tea Party next to the Sen. DeMint who sold out the Tea Party

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. If POTUS starts with "Since you all have a copy of this already, let's all read it together,"

I'll give him $50.

[sabrina 1]

11. Lol, yes, I like that one.

[suffragette]

12. Just got home

Thanks for thread

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Excellent online coverage on WH site..with an added feature.

18. Thanks

I have it on C-span. I'll check that out later.

[sabrina 1]

13. Jeremy Scahill tweeting on KO'S page too AND he HAS a sense of humor also!

@jeremyscahill
jeremy scahill
In spirit of bipartisanship, Obama wears purple tie, Boehner has purple flask

:rofl:

I always think of him as being so serious. Nice to see he takes time to have a little fun ~

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. What's the URL you are using?

I am using http://twitter.com/#!/keitholbermann
and don't see that.

[sabrina 1]

65. Sorry I missed your question ~

I thought it was Keith's twitter page, the same one you were following. I was also reading my own page and since I follow Jeremy Scahill, I get his tweets also, so maybe that's where I saw it ~ I jump around so much I often forget where I found something ~ probably on my own page though ~ :-)

[sabrina 1]

15. He can't help himself:

@KeithOlbermann

POTUS call for cutting oil subsidies will be answered in the evening's 3rd #SOTU rebuttal, by The Shell Answer Man

:rofl:

[Samantha]

19. Thank you for posting that one

Truly broke me up, and I seriously needed a good laugh.

Sam

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. At another Tweet page:

"If you have an HDTV, we recommend going to 'Menu' and lowering your set's 'Saturation' values
15% to compensate for Boehner"

on the http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23SOTU

[sabrina 1]

23. Lol, too funny. Poor Boehner ~

[Dappleganger]

24. Epic!

[sabrina 1]

25. And, he is proven to be correct, he says, about the 'seating'!

@KeithOlbermann

28. Somebody on DU called Sessions "half man,half squirrell".

Now he's a Keebler Elf.......LOL!!!!!

( I am so embarrassed he is from Ala.)

[sabrina 1]

33. I love that one too. Keith says 'watch on C-Span because

the cameras are focused only on the president'. I guess he's tweeting and watching several TVs at the same time. A multi-tasker!

[Dennis Donovan]

34. I'm digging KO way more untethered by MSNBC!!

:rofl:

[sabrina 1]

39. Me too ~ here's another one that cracked me up:

References to Facebook + Google got more applause than 5-year freeze on discretionary non-security spending #LeadBalloon #sotu

:rofl:

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Ko just did a dig:

Oh, here we go: Cuts for stuff that doesn't blow things up

[sabrina 1]

35. He is impressed with what the president said

about the Repubs wanting to repeal Health Care, (replacing it with nothing of course). And Boehner gets it again:

[suffragette]

I can't wait for his take on Bachman's rebuttal ~

[suffragette]

43. Oh, hadn't thought of that

It's gonna be good!

:hi:

[underseasurveyor]

38. ha ha ha KO said pwned

:-)

[dixiegrrrrl]

40. Michael Moore is tweeting live on this.

So I have KO and Moore on my Tweet page, and am watching from the WH live feed.

[sabrina 1]

44. Can't wait for Mike and Keith's take on Bachman rebuttal!

Jeremy Scahill is turning into a comedian also ~ :-)

I'm watching also, trying to keep up with KO and now I'll have to check out MM AND feed the animals, get something to eat for everyone so if I'm gone I'm feeding people and animals but will be back ~ :-)

[suffragette]

41. 'nother good one

KeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann
So with lower corp tax rates, Health Care tort reform, and spending freezes, what is the GOP response? "Didn't like his tie"? #sotu


I guess that tie can be... it is sorta grayish not proper blue.

[sabrina 1]

45. That was good, and this one really made me smile:

49. KO:Boehner tear time exactly 10:09:30 - I won the pool!

:rofl: :rofl:

[sabrina 1]

59. Lol, I didn't see this post and just posted the same

one below. He was betting on it, and he WON the bet, or so he says! :-)

[nadinbrzezinski]

50. Yep

and now they are on salmon and FINALLY THIS IS OVER.

[dixiegrrrrl]

51. KO's summary comment:

Enthusiastic, well-delivered speech w/more inspiration than policy + much of policy clanged to the floor like a knocked-over soda can

[sabrina 1]

66. Pretty good summation imho ~ n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

52. Thank you Sabrina for an enjoyable thread!!!!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[sabrina 1]

57. Thank YOU for making it fun.

I'm sorry I had to leave for a while, but dogs, cats and people need attention every once in a while lol!

Here's another fun tweet from Keith. I think he was betting on when exactly Boehner would start crying!

@KeithOlbermann

Cong. Ryan was selected because he is the House GOP Economic Czar, works out a lot, and can vie with POTUS in an Ear Battle #sotu

[shireen]

54. what are those references to salmon?

I may get a twitter account just to follow KO!

[grasswire]

56. he had salmon on the mind tonight!

I think Keith is the new Jon Stewart. Or maybe he can take the Late Show when Dave is ready to step down.

[sabrina 1]

63. I'm not sure, but I think the president made a reference to

salmon in his speech ~ KO mentioned something about Teddy Roosevelt having mentioned salmon in one of his SOTU addresses also.

[suffragette]

55. MM on Bachmann

What? ANOTHER response? Will there be a third response from General Franco?


Bwahaha! -ok, that part's mine }(

[sabrina 1]

58. Lol, well you're GOOD, suffragette!

[suffragette]

62. Only the last little laugh and smilie were mine

All the Franco goodness was pure Michael Moore.

He's good.

[PufPuf23]

61. Fun thread Sabrina. Glad KO is still with us.

The cycle of salmon means every thing where I live. More worse than better in my 58 years.

[sabrina 1]

64. Do you know what prompted all the salmon talk?

I was trying to watch the speech, read the blogs, follow Keith on Twitter and pay attention to my family and animals, so I know I missed a few things ~ :-)

[pinboy3niner]

67. He made a joke about salmon...

From the transcript:

We live and do business in the Information Age, but the last major reorganization of the government happened in the age of black-and-white TV. There are 12 different agencies that deal with exports. There are at least five different agencies that deal with housing policy. Then there's my favorite example: The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they're in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them when they're in saltwater. (Laughter.) I hear it gets even more complicated once they're smoked. (Laughter and applause.)

[sabrina 1]

68. Thanks for the quote.

I hear it gets even more complicated once they're smoked. (Laughter and applause.)

The DEA? Lol!

And it looks like Keith looked up how many presidents mentioned salmon in their SOTU addresses.

@KeithOlbermann
Keith Olbermann
Just checked: Teddy Roosevelt included story of catching salmon w/his teeth +smoking it with a magnifying glass in his 1903 message #sotu

[pinboy3niner]

69. Ha!

The President's joke got a good response. But maybe somebody ought to warn Keith not to borrow Bachmann's history book. :)

[sabrina 1]

70. Maybe he was just having fun ~

He was definitely having a good time with Bachmann and Boehner ~

@KeithOlbermann Don't blame Bachmann, the cereal box she gets her facts from doesn't list sources.
