During DNC coverage, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was waxing ebullient over the gains made by McCain, when Keith Olberman muttered "Jesus, Joe, why don't you get a shovel?" It was likely an open mic problem, but at least Olbermann owned up to it and defended saying it as you'll see.

Dec 10, 2008 - The world would be a MUCH better place without this BIG MOUTH DEGENERATE F-STICK! There are not many people I truly detest but this piece of human trash does nothing but make the world a WORSE place by spewing filth and sewage through Gateway to hell that he calls a mouth. If I saw this guy on the street I would have to punch this piece square in the jaw, hopefully dislodging it... forever.I want to hate this guy, but I have to convince myself there is something good about him.

Dec 10, 2008 - Camaroofdeth- Except, you know, intelligent???You cannot compare dipshit Olberman with Oreilly as far as education goes. You may not like Oreilly because of your wimp status as a bleeding heart liberal but look at the fuckin guys resume. Good lord, people will say anything, even when they don't KNOW anything.Olberman was a fuckin sportscaster for cripe-sakes. Oreilly was an english prof, studied at London U, Boston College, and Harvard. Ya dumb ass.
Camaroofdeth Says:
Dec 11, 2008 - Well, I said it in jest. I mean, O'Reilly does say some really, really stupid stuff. But so does Olbermann, no doubt.Kieth Olbermann went to college at Cornell, which, last time I checked, was an Ivy League school. Geez. Sometimes people will say anything, even when they don't KNOW anything.I'm not really sure how being a sportscaster automatically makes one less intelligent than another. By the by, profanity is the linguistic crutch of the inarticulate.Moron.

Dec 13, 2008 - Yeah and O'Reilly is an asshole - go figure

Dec 14, 2008 - McCain lost miserably....just like Joe Scarboro couldnt carry Olberman's book bag.

Dec 19, 2008 - Relax guys, they're both party hacks. This is like watching a guy who likes turd sandwiches bashing a guy who likes giant douches.
CrossoverManiac Says:
Dec 22, 2008 - Joe was referring to the elections polls at the time of the GOP Conventions months before Super Tuesday. At that time, McCain was gaining in the polls. Polls are a snapshot of voter sentiment *at the time* they're taken. It is not a prediction of the future results of an election, at least until two or three weeks before it where there would be too much momentum for the candidates to change voters' mind one way or the other.
CrossoverManiac Says:
Dec 22, 2008 - Who cares where he went to college. Olbermann is a liar, hypocrite, and blowhard. You can always tell when he isn't telling the truth: when his lips are moving.
coolmamac Says:
Dec 23, 2008 - O'reilly is an idot. He constantly makes errors on his show. He should have his fact checker proof read his notes before he opens his butt faced pie hole.I do not agree with Olbermann on every thing, but at least he is entertaining.

Dec 25, 2008 - 25.12.08. I love listening to Olbermann its like music to my ears. He speaks the truth! it might sound harsh sometimes, but its the truth what counts.
jmmmccc Says:
Dec 29, 2008 - Olberman has got to be the biggest moron on cable.

Dec 29, 2008 - Americans always support the person they don't want early on: Hillary was up, only because most people thought Obama was a terrorist living in Afghanistan. McCain was up, only because he got a boost in media coverage after the convention.

Ill take an ESPN sportscaster over a creepy, inside edition alumn ANY DAY. Now go read your bible.

Dec 30, 2008 - I think you're being way too easy on Scarbourough. He was literally carrying the GOP water, and I don't think he needs to be embarrassed about that. But Olbermann wasn't in the wrong for calling him out on it either.
assmonkey0830 Says:
Dec 30, 2008 - Whats really so funny about you liberial idiots is this video had no mention of BILL OREILLY, yet you olbermann sheep can't stop obsessing over him. I must really piss you liberialls off Oreilly detroys oralmann nightly in the ratings. By the way I liked how oralmann doesn't say anthing after Joe destroys him. LOL he was probably curled up in the fetal position lying in the corner after joe absolutly shut the idiot up. LOL
CrossoverManiac Says:
Jan 1, 2009 - Olbermann does the same crap only for the other side and he's far more partisan that Scarbourough. Olbermann needs to be called out every time he opens his damn mouth.
toomasio Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - Journalism is about facts. Journalism isn't about ratings.It's clear Olberman had the facts right, and Joe had them wrong. Joe was pulling a Fox and was trying to manipulate voters into thinking McCain was doing well..which he wasn't.I will give Joe some props. He made himself look like less of an idiot by pulling another FOX and twisting Olbermans statement around his own (about the shovel). But he was still caught in a lie and Journalists should be canned for that.-unbiased Canadian.

Jan 3, 2009 - olbermen a fucking liberal faggot
thedecider1984 Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - o'reilly rules
assmonkey0830 Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - No its not at all clear oralmmann had the facts right, in fact he was wrong. At the time mccain was gaining momentum for the first time really, and that was all joe was trying to say. Apparentlly oralmann couldn't handle the truth. Yada yada yada...that whole fox excuse is starting to get a little overused don't you think. ("unbiased canadian?" more like slightly stupid canadian.)

Dec 10, 2008 - they're not. You're MONTHS behind. MSNBC took Matthews and Olermann off of their election coverage dual show (that they had in addition to their own shows) because it was too partisan. So they put a more neutral person (Gregory) in their place, and have been pushing him as the neutral commentator.In the 25-55 age bracket (the key demo), Olbermann consistently beats OReilly, and Rachel consistently beats Hannity. AND, Olbermann and Rachel consistently improve in ratings each week.
