Jon Stewart Takes On Keith Olbermann

And Olbermann’s response to him. Now you know I used to watch both Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart religiously. I’m not about to start watching Olbermann again, but after the mocking Jon Stewart did of Olbermann, I may just have to start watching “The Daily Show” again. He’s been on fire recently.

The other night, Stewart went after Olbermann for his baseless attacks on Scott Brown, the new US Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (see, I know how to spell it, even without spell-check! Ahem.). It was absolutely priceless, and is continued within Olbermann’s response to Stewart below:

Yeah, I think there is one person who was funny in that clip, and it sure wasn’t Olbermann.

Stewart gave Olbermann a couple of points, but when someone uses as a reference a video clip (a Brown rally) that has been discredited, yet still insists on making the point with no context (that what was shouted off camera related to a case on which Coakley worked), it is demonstrative of some of the hoops Olbermann will jump through to attack someone. It is disingenuous at best, but that is what we have come to expect from Olbermann. Bluster, innuendo, and attacks based on the thinnest of inferences. I mean, really, for Olbermann, of all people, to attack ANYONE else for being sexist, is just, well, laughable. Go back to the 2008 Primary campaign on just about any night, but this one in particular is pretty indicative:

Olbermann was discussing the election with Newsweek’s Howard Fineman, a frequent guest. They topic was, how can a winner finally be determined in this never-ending Democratic race for the nomination? Of course, the assumption was that it was Clinton that should be shown the door (despite clearly still earning her spot in the race thanks to, um, voters). Fineman said that, all the delegate math aside, ultimately it was going to take “some adults somewhere in the Democratic party to step in and stop this thing, like a referee in a fight that could go on for thirty rounds. Those are the super, super, super delegates who are going to have to decide this.”

Said Olbermann: “Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.”

Now, WHO’S sexist, exactly, Keith? Yeah, uh huh – I’ll give you a hint. It ain’t Scott Brown.

And since Jon Stewart mentioned John Edwards, I just had to see what he said about him. Here it is – a newsflash for “idiots”:

Well, I certainly cannot disagree with Stewart’s assessment of those who did NOT know this child really was Edwards, all protests aside.

Yep, I may just have to start watching The Daily Show again if he keeps going this way. I guess people really ARE starting to wake up! And about damn time, too…

  • Screw-the-DNC

    I stopped watching Olbermann long long ago, but like nothing more than to see him further exposed for the pompous delusional aqss he has become.

    So to you Keith …

    Good night, and grow up!
    Good night, and get a grip!
    Good night, and get some therapy!
    Good night, and shut up – in case you haven’t noticed the decline in your ratings … you’ve become irrelevant!

    And so, Good night, and good riddance!

  • Daisy Mae

    I so hope that Olber. and Maddow and Tweetie go buh bye, as NBC tanks.  Of course, Zucker will laugh all the way to the bank.  To be honest, I haven’t watch these people for 1.5 years.  Ex. for the video above.  I don’t care much for Stewart, but the parody of Olber.’s rants was masterful writing.   Sorry, but I can’t even choke out “good riddance” to those azzes.

  • Diana L. C.

    Yes, I have to agree–KO was not funny, but JS was, and he was right on with his comments about KO.

    Thanks for the videos. 

  • Tricia

    JS is SO funny!  KO has some anger management problems. 

    One way to try to save face is that you attack the one who won the day, but in the end you just end up looking like a putz with mental issue.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

    keith olberman so jumped the shark.  He is a laughable raging lunatic now.  I watched the segment where he added he forgot to call Scott Brown a sexist.  It was so stupid and quite frankly I was embarrassed for him.

    Those idiots, olberman, maddow, and mathews and of course all the other obama cronies  have painted themselves into such a small hypocritical corner.  

    They are done, soon they will be broadcasting to only themselves and the few stupid people who follow them.

  • Screw-the-DNC

    Oh, I forgot my favorite … in honor of YOU Larry Johnson …

    Good night, and go f^ck yourself!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Now I have this image in my head of Maddow, Olbermann, and Matthews sitting in someone’s basement doing their show like a skit on SNL or something…

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    LOL – thanks, Screw, for calling it like it is!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Wasn’t he?  I thought it was hilarious, and reallly demonstrated just how unhinged Olbermann has really become…

    Tricia, you hit the nail on the head!  Yes!

  • arabella trefoil

    Some of them are gonna get fired real soon. My bet is that Olberman is on the top of the hit list. Tweetie will probably “resign to pursue other opportunities.” Maddow, dunno. I’m not familiar with her numbers and her demographics.

    “Here’s a box. Pack your stuff. The security guard will escort you out. And by the way, please scrape your parking decal off your car and mail it back to you.”

  • Patience

    You mean like instead of Wayne’s World, Hussein’s World?

  • Patience

    Like “Hussein’s World” instead of “Wayne’s World”???

  • I’m a Linda too

    Olbermann has stooped tooooo low with unsubstantiated and unwarranted name calling and accusations, slandering people he apparently only disliked for mere shallow reasons on his part including but not limited to his man crushes and misogyny, of which he stopped telling the truth years ago.

    I believe I noticed it first in the fall of 2007 when he was choosing to toss Democracy out the window with his childish, now obvious, JEALOUS demeaning of then presdential candidate Dennis Kucinich, having to bring in to the discussion of his two previous marriages that ended in divorce to now end up with a young hottie of a wife that apparently Keith Olbermann wanted.  Yes, of course in Keithie’s eyes, this man was not worthy of  running for the presidency and that justifies his behavior and surely because he declared so, why should we give him , Rep Kucinich, the time to choose ourselves.  Yes, we should allow Keith to choose for us.  Oh wait, he did, after he marked people of his lists for attacking.

    Not even close to apologizing as you should, Sir.  And when I say Sir, I say that in the least respect I can find for someone who takes up time on our airwaves, using it to utter the most vile of comments not fit to be aired by anyone, but that ‘MSNBC has given not just comfort, but protection.

  • Steel Magnolia

    How about Olbermann PRETENDING he’s Edward R. Murrow and signing off every night with “good night and good luck” and then turning his back like Murrow did.  How delusional can you get and how embarrassing is that?  That would be like Jon Steward PRETENDING he’s Walter Cronkite and signing off his show with “And that’s the way it was”.  I fully expect Olbermann to have a cigarette hanging from his mouth like Murrow did pretty soon.  When you have to PRETEND to be somebody else, you know you got an identity problem.  He definitely needs some therapy.  I think he’s a buffoon.  He’s a SPORTS announcer trying to tell people about POLITICS – give me a break!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    YES!!  Yes, that is it exactly – well done, Patience!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Dang, I wish I could do that clapping icon, IALT – wow, what a great comment!!

  • bamaLV

    i used to watch olberman until i heard the disgusting things he said about hillary clinton. i turned him off and tuned him out and have not watched him since. same goes for tweetie.  it will give me a thrill up my leg when these two now longer foul up the airwaves.

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    You and me, both.  I cannot stand Chris Matthews – the despicable things he said abt Hillary would have gotten him fired had he said them abt a man in her position (I bet).  Disturbing that people like Chris and Keith still have jobs…

  • Nobama4me

    I stopped watch KO the night he accused Hillary of wanting Obama dead.Even my husband, never a Hillary fan, left and we never went back.I hope, the day they give him a straight jacket and a padded cell it will be televised on national TV, for our collective delight.

  • bayareavoter

    I did start watching JS again after the election and still enjoy him. Some of his stuff is too sophomoric but he is often right on the money. He was one of the first to start going after Bambi soon after his inauguration; before his audience would /could laugh at BO, but they do now.

    But I missed this show so thank you! Anything that makes fun of KO works for me. And KO is so full of himself he still doesn’t appear to get it. What an idiot! I remember enjoying his nasty screeds that went after Bush and now I wish I had seen him for the pompous *ss he was.

    And Maddow, after Tuesday’s MA election, pathetic. She’s still rationalizing every which way she can about Bambi. Just like my sister in law. I used to enjoy her on the radio but can’t stomach her at all.

    Why do we have to choose between Rush and Olbermann? We are totally unrepresented in the media, as we are now, in government. Argghh!

    Thank goodness for NQ and its writers!

  • Katmoon

    Same here. Can’t stand him and can’t wait to see him go. I would however like to see at least one station start a news (without commentary) show, sort of like in the days of Walter.

  • Ferd Berfle

    KO, Chris, and Madcow aren’t even in the same league with a stopped clock. Is there anymore to be said?

  • AC

    RRRA,

    Not only did Olbermann (MSNBC) turn out to be (fill in your invective /expletive of choice) but his website for comments would not accept any comment supporting or defending Hillary–they practice the worst kind of censorship–then I luckily found No Quarter.

     Back in the USSR

  • AC

    Slightly off topic but I may know why Chris Mathews does what he does.
    I saw him about 7 years ago walking through Dulles and he’s got a head the size of a horse-looks weird with small shoulders.

    It sounds very small of me to mention someone’s physical features but he truly has a BIG HEAD. 

    So Big Head Mathews and big Butt Olberman  together don’t make one person because they are lacking a corpus (the soul).

    That’s the best I can do with being mean tonight but it does feel good and true.

  • I’m a Linda too

    Too kind.  Thank you.

  • Ferd Berfle

    AC:

    At first I also tried to defend HRC on Keithie’s website. I received the same treatment you did. Olbermunch is the worst sort of extremist–ideologically driven and a liar at the same time.

  • Ferd Berfle

    LMAO

    Big head-tiny brain means lots of room for echoing voices.

  • Doc99

    This has been a great week for NBC – First Leno and O’Brien and now Bathtub Boy Keith Overbite. NBC’s ratings collectively will soon be circling the drain.

  • Sonic Ninja Kitty

    Yes–so who is still watching these guys?  I think MSNBC pays all the Best Buys in the US to tune in so they can scrounge up the ratings numbers.   Well…something like that!

  • arabella trefoil

    I just checked out the numbers. Tweetie is is big trouble. I had no idea his numbers were so bad. Didn’t he say he wanted to run for political office?

    Don’t forget how many jobs are on the line here Tweetie, Olberman and Maddow have staff, support people etc. who will likely get canned too, or reassigned to less desirable assignments.

    I have friends and relatives in the industry, so I know too much about how this stuff works.

    Lately, nobody is safe. Not even the people who are bringing in bucks.

  • Ferd Berfle

    “Lately, nobody is safe.”

    All the more reason for the MSNBC cadre of blowhards to come to the understanding that it pays to know which side their bread is buttered on.

  • Ferd Berfle

    I should have added:

    The Obamabots aren’t going to pay MSNBC’s bills as they expect That One to pay their bills.

  • Jackarooty

    Hi Amy,
    Did you happen to read about this one?  It’s about Joe Scarborough commenting on Keefy without naming him.  Phil Griffin is an ass and Keefy should be fired for unprofessionalism.

    Gee whiz–been gone all day, only to come home and find Rev. Amy is leading a session of Olby bashing,  one of my favorite activities, with lots of my fave commenters on board.  Well, just to make up for lost time, I guess I’ll just have to tune into Countdown, drop my drawers, turn around, and do the butt waller all over Herr Olbermann’s face.   5-4-3-2-1-BLASTOFF!

  • felizarte

    I used to watch Morning Joe.  But during the primaries, I stopped because Mika couldn’t help her full throated support for Obama.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

    thats friggin hilarious!!

  • Ferd Berfle

    LMAO. Ready, aim, fire!

  • Nobama4me

    Did anyone watch Mika, trying to make Sarah Palin look stupid for saying she loved all the Founding Fathers, say her favourite was…wait for it…Abraham Lincoln!!! I’ll try to find it on YT, if you didn’t.

  • Nobama4me

    Found it, (for anyone interested)
    Hope it posts, it’s the first time I tried this…lol

  • oowawa

    Hey Ferd!  Here’s the link to the mp3 of “Butt Waller” by the Rude Street Peters.  Hilarious, and well worth the listen (couldn’t find a video, and that’s maybe a good thing): 

    http://www.knoxville.com/dl/mp3/177/

    Just thinking about Herr Olbermann while the song plays is a delight . . .

  • Ferd Berfle

    LMAO.

  • Jackarooty

    Mika annoyed me terribly during the primaries and still does but Joe and the rest of the guys give it back to her better than she gives.  I think Joe has nice balance of Libs and Neos.

  • Jackarooty

    Mika is a dope but we knew that!!!!!!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Okay, so what would they say after that?  We know it’s not going to be “Party on, Excellent!”  :)

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    My pleasure, and I mean it! :)

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    With his “Obama Dollars”?  Oh, yeah.

    Yes, I understand Mattews’ numbers are WAY down compared to his Fox counterpart, isn’t that right, AT?

    And it is hard to think abt the people who might lose their jobs, for sure – I don’t wish that on many people (though I make an expcetion for Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Matthews, Olbermann, and Maddow).  Those at MSNBO did so much to push this president on us who cares more abt his record than the hardships of the people he is supposed to represent (our unemployment in SC has now moved up to 12.6%, a record). 

    These people simply DELIGHTED in tearing down Hillary and Bill, even though Hillary would never have taken us down this path we’re on now.  I guess they are reaping what they sowed…

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    And thank goodness for such great people like you all coming to NQ and sharing your own experiences, humor, and takes on the subjects.  The place woudn’t be the same without you!!

    I’m glad JS is doing a better job now.  I agree that he can be sophooric, but yeah, he can be good (I saw he had the former US Comptroller, David Walker, on rececntly who impressed me quite a bit during the Bush years.  He did not let politics get in the way AT ALL of his job as Comptroller.  How refreshing is THAT??)

    One of the best on tv now, IMHO, is Greta van Susteren, though she does primarily interviews and stuff.  Still, she really does seem to be prety balanced in her questions and guests.  I don’t catch her all the time, but when I do, I like her.  Oh, and Bret Baier is pretty good on straight news sources.  His All Star Panel is often very informative.

    Thanks for the info abt Maddow, too – why am I not surprised?

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Good grief – yes, censorship indeed, and also intellectually dishonest, especially given his sctick is how smart he’s supposed to be.  Sheesh.

    Ferd, you said it!!

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Ohmygosh, Jackarooty – no, I had not seen that.  I understand the importance of not criticizing a colleague and everything, but that there was a consideration of suspending Joe Scarborough considering ALL the crap KO has said is jsut amazing.

    Add to that the ONLY reason David Schuster was on two week suspension for calling Hillary a pimp and Chelsea a whore is the outcry by the viewers. 

    Unbelievable.  That is so telling abt that network…

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Thanks for finding this, too.  Wow – SUCH profesionalism on the part of these people.  Holy cow, they are considered journalists??

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Sorry, oowawa – should have given you notice!  :-D

  • oowawa

    I can’t wait for Chris Matthews to run for office.  I was preparing my “Defeat the Tweet” campaign the last time this was rumored.  Run Run Tingles!

  • oowawa

    Why do we have to choose between Rush and Olbermann?

    We shouldn’t have to choose.  They should settle their differences like real men–Sumo Wrestling.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

  • Ani

    From your lips to God’s ears.  These are the unholy three in re their horrid rhetoric about Hillary.  They were as relentless in their bashing as they were wrong about her.  Their praise of Obie was likewise clueless and wrongheaded.  Why anyone would give them the time of days anymore is beyond me. 

    Keithie’s irresponsible rant on Brown should have gotten him tossed — but clearly, this is rabble rousing at it’s best.  It’s just business.  And he has to appeal to whatever limited audience he has left with this kind of behavior.

  • Ani

    They’re not worthy!!!!  :)

  • Ani

    Tweety wanted to run for Senate in PA but after all his sexist rants he got an earful from women and decided he’d better not risk it.

  • Ani

    Still, I will never forgive Jon Stewart for drinking the Obama koolaid during the primary and pushing for him over Hillary.  I think someone said he tried some criticism of Bambi early on and his audience didn’t like it so he backed off and completely changed his tune.

    If he had some courage back then and stuck to his guns, he might have influenced public opinion instead of piling on the let’s laugh at Hillary meme.

    Jon is still funny, yes, but it’s a day late and a dollar short.

  • Ani

    Mika is another pretentious pundit, and a rude one at that, who misses no opportunity to make all noises and hmms and harumphs while another is speaking to telegraph her disrespect and disagreement while someone else is on camera trying to make a point.  She is not someone worthy of respectful consideration since she does not know how to treat others that way.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Thanks Rev. Amy. I needed that small reminder of why I do NOT watch the widget.
    How can you string all those together and still call yours self anything but _____.

    What I do not get is how Janet can “accidently” flash her pearls and the FCC is suing for it, yet KO can make terrorist threats against Senator Clinton and not get a thing from them…
    He blinded me with Science…..

  • Screw-the-DNC

    Great – now I have that mental image in my head … thanks a lot!

  • Docelder

    I know this is tangential aat best. But, some of us here, and some of us that aren’t here much anymore have pegged Obama as a corporatist from the beginning. There is an almosy unholy alliance forming between government,  big business and now with Obama driving the Bushcomobile… add labor to that. Whatever Obama is, he’s nobody’s liberal, he’s closer to Bush than to being liberal. Interestingly Bush was no conservative, he was closer to Obama than a conservative. Well, maybe people have been reading these posts. Maybe this isn’t such a satori of a reckoning. I am not sure, but I do know when HuffPo gets it… well something is happening.

    The Corporatist Explanation for Obama’s “Failed” Presidency - Apologizing for linking here. i do think it is worth looking at. Here is the start of it:

    Obama, more than Al Gore, George W. Bush, John McCain, or Hillary Clinton, has been the most fully realized CONSENSUS CORPORATIST CANDIDATE of the last decade.

    And, it just gets better and better.

    The libs always pick top notch quality to speak for their groups.  Sharpton speaks for the blacks and Olbermann speaks for the guilty whites.  And according to these retards, anyone who is rejects the rubbish they spew is a racist. 

  • Nobama4me

    Ditto, Ani. In this particular clip, she manages to show both her unprofessionality and her ignorance. Quite an accomplishment! 

  • Mark

    Olbermann has lousy ratings and it is easy to see why.  What we need is a countdown to Olbermann’s head imploding and that would be when the only two brain cells he has in his head collide.

  • bayareavoter

    thanks, docelder, for the link. I’ve been saying this forever abou this jerk–since he raised more money from Wall St than ANYONE during the primaries.

    And they tried to make it look like his campaign was funded by $5 donations from old ladyies cookie jars and students’ pizza money. What a farce!

    How is this for bookends?

    1) STEPHANOPOULOS interview with BO 1/20:
    STEPHANOPOULOS: Looking at that clock, one year ago, you were just about to take the Oath of Office.
    OBAMA: Yes.
    STEPHANOPOULOS: And now you get this anniversary present from the voters in Massachusetts.
    OBAMA: (LAUGHTER)
    STEPHANOPOULOS: Robert Gibbs was saying that you were surprised and frustrated by the vote. Is that accurate?
    OBAMA: Well, I think not last night, but certainly I think a lot of us were surprised about where this was going, about a week ago.
    STEPHANOPOULOS: So you saw it coming by then?
    OBAMA: By that time, we did. And here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country.
    The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. [emphisis mine]
    People are angry, and they’re frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years. 

    I ask this question of any who reads this. What is this “thing”; and why is BO co-opting and  coveting Scott Brown’s win?
    Is BO THIS delusional to even think Astroturfing and bambooziling his way to POTUS, and the outrage that elect a conserative, the first in 37 years, is the same thing?

    The there is this NYT article;
    Obama Moves to Centralize Control Over Party Strategy
    and this little jem from Axelgrease which directly contradicts BO;

    “Our own political operation will be more rigorously in communication with the other elements, so we can compare notes,” Mr. Axelrod said. “What we learned from Massachusetts is that we need to be more assiduous about getting our own data and our own information so we have a better sense of where things stand.”
     

  • TeakWoodKite

    Sorry for the above “OY” but here is a good one from the same interview;

    I don’t like or watch Olbermann, I don’t like or watch O’Reilly and I don’t like or watch Campbell Brown so I don’t watch cable news at 7pm (CST). Always a L&O rerun somewhere or an H&G reno going on or a prime time NCIS rerun on CBS to watch on Tuesdays.

    I do know that O’Reilly and FOX absolutely decimate the other networks at that time and in all the other times. http://www.mediabistro.com/TVNewser/Ratings/

    That is apparently what drives Olbermann out of his mind. His arch nemesis has 3 to 4 times the audience that Olbermann has every single night. The only way Olbermann gets any attention, other than from the few delusional souls who are as nuts as he is, is to say something outrageous. Like many of his type he would rather be viewed as an asshat than not viewed at all.

    I find it funny that JS is now bashing Olbermann and Maddow. They certainly deserve it but it seems a tad hypocritical to me when JS was such an Obot himself a short time ago. Maybe he went into Kool-Aid rehab. 

    But what the hell, if they took all the hypocrites off television we’d be looking at those empty/fuzzy screens most of the time.

  • Ani

    My friends and I have been calling him a corporatist for two years now.  It was made apparent by looking at the people/advisors with whom he surrounds himself.  Arianna is supposed to be so smart and influential.  How could we have figured this out and someone like her didn’t — until now?  It’s all b.s.

  • oowawa

    Great comment Teak  The selfsame “thing” that swept Barack Obama and Scott Brown both into office was anger–in the first case, anger about the policies of George W. Bush, in the second case, anger about the policies of Barack Obama.  But how would it sound if, two years down the road, Scott Brown loses his re-election bid to a Democrat and sagely concedes that “the selfsame thing that swept me into office now sweeps my opponent into office.”  Well, Duh–Yeah–we’re angry at the lying bamboozling incumbents!  You didn’t deliver on your campaign promises, so you’re out!  It doesn’t take a Harvard Professor to figure this out . . .  Barack Obama cannot own the anger-against-the-incumbent issue (the “thing”) any longer–He IS the incumbent!  Now deliver my unicorn like you promised, or you’re fired!  (I know . . . the unicorn is in the mail . . .)

    Haha–wonderul mixed metaphor.  Actually, the hobbyhorse was a fabled unicorn and when he tried to tackle it, he fell on its horn.

    Haha–wonderul mixed metaphor.  Actually, the healthcare hobbyhorse was a fabled unicorn and when he tried to tackle it, he fell on its horn.

    The use of the word “personal” is interesting.  It seems to imply this: “The reason I tackled healthcare wasn’t because this was my personal hobbyhorse like it was with Hillary when the Clintons were first elected.”

    I love Rush.  His show is the best prepped show on radio.  I hear news on his show days before I hear it anywhere else.  Every morning I laugh at the hypocrisy of our leaders.  I was a Dem all my life and only started listening 2 years ago because the fawning Obama media left me no where else to go. To me the only good thing about the 08 election is finding Rush.  God Bless You big guy.

    Rush is OK at times. He’s still a sexist & periodically rants against “feminazis”, though.
