Olbermann To Trump Supporters: "Prepare Yourselves"

Keith Olbermann has something to say to supporters of neo- fascist Putin poodle Donald "Rump" Trump, and it might not be what you think it is:

Goodbye, Keith

Shockingly, sadly, tonight's was the final "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." He announced he's leaving MSNBC, with no further word about his future plans. "Countdown" was MSNBC's top-rated show, which made the abrupt departure all the more mystifying. It's also a significant blow to progressives, who saw few of their champions in the media; one as articulate as Olbermann will be sorely missed.

It occurred to us that maybe, just maybe, the ending of "Countdown" might have had something to do with the recently approved sale of NBC to Comcast. It's also possible the famously mercurial Olbermann had strictly personal reasons for leaving.

Whatever the reason, he leaves a void that will be difficult, if not impossible, to fill. As Keith would sign off, "Good night, and good luck."

Video of the Week

In case you missed Keith Olbermann's special comment last night on the Sherrod affair, here it is. He slams right wing hack propagandist Andrew "Not So" Breitbart as "scum" and skewers the totally discredited Fux News. He also takes to task the cowardly performance of the Administration and the NAACP.

Best Double Entendre of the Year

"Tiger Woods continues to have problems with his putz." -- MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on last night's "Countdown" opening intro. Keith's #1 story last night was a pun-fest at Woods' expense ("birdies," "sand traps," etc.). Stories of his multiple affairs (two confirmed, one denied) are blossoming.

Why Woods believed he could escape the publicity stemming from his car accident is beyond us. As with many celebrities, Woods must have arrogantly assumed that he was entitled to, and could get away with, his infidelities because. . .well because he's Tiger Woods, golfer and billionaire endorser. (Why Woods would even think about messing around is also a mystery -- his wife's photo above is exhibit A in his insanity trial).

Class Vs. Ass

To put a cap (for today anyway) on the Geraldine Ferraro mess, read how someone with humor and grace responds to an ass (see picture, left).

We're counting down the hours until tonight's Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC to see Keith's Special Comment on the Clinton campaign. Last night, he exhibited the anger we and other progressives are feeling at the increasingly shabby, win-at-any-cost, break-any-rule, smear-by-surrogate campaign being run by the Clintonistas. What will it take for the grownups in the Democratic Party to take these putzes out of their sandbox and confiscate their mud pies? At what point do they recognize that not one, but many lines have already been crossed by these hacks?
