Re: "Olby shtick fools gullible writer": There are some internet memes that can be used to describe this, but I won't use them.

Once again a sense of humor escapes the Hidieous House of Hens.
 
And, If I was them , I wouldn't be slamming ANYONE about being a misogynist.
 
It’s “Miller Time” on The O’Reilly Factor . . . Obama-bashing and the War on Women
Reported by Julie - Thu 9:24 PM
 
These these clowns are OK with Olbermann and others of his ilk attacking women. They also loved Letterman and Clinton treating women like dirt.
 
Miller is a comedian and that seems to have escaped the slow witted at News Hounds.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to the News Hounds that to criticize the overwhelming media meme that Sarah Palin is all looks and no brains, is tantamount to taking the official position that it is always sexist at anytime to question the intelligence of someone who happens to have xx chromosomes.
 
After all, these are the people who equated the use of the sophomoric term "fun bags" (for breasts), as being on par with women posters on their boards being referred to as the c-word.
 
A sense of perspective ain't their forte...

There's a problem with Mediabistro. Someone here mentioned yesterday they had trouble and I see a comment over at ICN mentioning the same.

Until Mediabisto is fixed... if anyone wants to hear a Countdown segment that will make you riled enough to tear the phone book in two, go to Olbermann Watch and listen to John Gibson's sound bite of Keith Olbermann talking about Republican bad faith and his pleas that one can support the president without supporting his Afghanistan policy.
 
Considering the heinously accusatory rhetoric that vile polecat Keith Olbermann used about another commander-n-chief, who Pres. Obama fairly echoed in his speech, it will be all you can do not to solicit a posse to go egg this jerk's office!

Just saw a brief chyron mistake on Your World. Cavuto out today.
 
The chyron briefly read "asdf asdf...", when the show came back in the second half-hour.

During the grapevine segment, Bret Baier mentioned the news item about two hollywood guys (Roger Simon, Lionel Chetwynd) asking the Academy of Motion Pictures to rescind Al Gore's Academy Award.
 
I was disappointed that Baier did not mention that Al Gore never won an Oscar. Though it seems to have been widely discussed over the past 2 years, it's not true, he did not win an Oscar.
