Here is a lovely quote from one of Ellen's dog washers.
 
It's a good thing to have all the crazies in a single location ... it makes it easier to keep track of them. As an added plus, they can invent new conspiracies and play them off against each other.

Do you suppose that George could be speaking of the crazies at The Hen House?

Keith Olbermann is psychologically incapable to withstand the pressures of a debate. People should take pity on him and leave him alone in his comfy studio....it's his happy place!

Fox News Obsesses About Obama's Bow
Reported by Ellen - Tue 10:33 AM
 
Unrepentant liar Ellen is actually comparing Bush's shoulder rub of Angela Merkel to Obama's bowing to to the Japanese. This is waaaaaay to funny.
 
Apparently she has missed the story about how the Japanese weren't exactly happy about it either.
 
Just another excuse from the Hen House.

I recall there are still two people who want to debate Olby. Its really a lost cause. He won't debate with people who disagree with him.

Works for me. You may have to reload the page a few times because the guardian servers are acting up a bit.

Keith Olbermann is not about debating.
 
Any interest he has in ideology and the politics and policy that reflect it, is tantamount to the same interest one might have in owning a snazzy car. He just wants to be seen driving it and to congratulate himself for having it. He's not a true car enthusiast and doesn't care about automobile engineering, etc.
 
Keith is ONLY about sitting at the cool progressive intelligentsia elite kid's table and pretending to care about issues as they do, rather than merely caring about feeling better than people.
 
Progressive politics is only a vehicle for Olbermann's narcissism.

That Palin/Factor teaser video was great. I'm looking forward to seeing the interview.

Somebody should keep a running list of people who have stated they want to debate Olbermann and defend themselves against his lies. I doubt the list is only three or four people. It's got to be m-u-c-h higher.

Finally! Palin goes on 'The Factor'. About 14 months too late, but! Better late then ever.
Olby will never debate, even if he said he would, he would pull something at the very last minute. He would have to leave to go to the Hospital to see his dad. And 'Crazy Larry' would take his place.
But this is a good idea, people should just start lining up and calling 'Tub-Boy' out. Johnny, that chart should start getting plastered on other blogs on a weekly basis as well.

Olby Sucks
"Olby will never debate, even if he said he would, he would pull something at the very last minute."
 
A certain olbyloon (patty cakes aka aap) has claimed that Olby has this huuuge list of Republicans he has invited to come on his show, but, said Republicans were too "cowardly" to take him up on his offer. When asked where this "list" was, the subject was soon changed! :lol:

That's just another lie. Olby doesn't want opposing views on his program. He hasn't hid that fact. Maddow OTOH is willing to have opposing views on once in a while and there actually are some Republicans who have turned down coming on her show. I have never heard Olby state that he asked X to appear for an opposing point of view but they declined.

You're asking AAP to provide facts, he's not capable of that OS.

Thanks for the vote of approval, puck30. I really wish somebody would put together the Olby no-debate list. Ask every single Republican senator or representative, every governor, every talk show host if they are in the same boat. The list is most likely enormous.
