Up until now, I had been distracted from the existence of Keith Olbermann.

I imagine there are people who think the main problem in the world today is to figure out what happened in the past that had to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Still, there are others who get off pretending they believe it is. Some of them pose as highly amused by this phony baloney belief of theirs. They use cutesy words like "warfightery" to nudge you in the ribs. Don't you get how funny they are?

4 years of crook JOE - you had the files.

Dave Begley said...

LOL. So predictable.

Narr said...

"I hade been distracted"? Have English verb forms changed, and nobody told me?

Peachy said...

Olberdouche, Maddow and Kimmel's wife, & the View cows - all belong in the same insane asylum.

Narr said...

"they main problem in the world today"

On a roll!

Heartless Aztec said...

No refuge in this life from Olberman - not even on a Saturday morning visiting Althouse World.

JRoberts said...

Seeing the Clintons, and now Olbermann, pontificating about Epstein reminds me I have fuzzy Tupperware in the back of my refrigerator that I need to discard.

Aggie said...

It's a funny thing, but whenever this troll pops his head up again, usually to say something nasty, I'm reminded once again, immediately, of how he self-destructed as a public figure. Can't get past this weakness.

Dont YOU understand, boomer, how Netanyahu has your president by the balls because of compromising info, and our country is doing Israel's bidding over the wishes of the American people? Not at all curious why Trump has morphed into John McCain over the independent platform from the man we all voted for... No. New. Wars. ?

You bedded down with the jews... literally and for your career while others remain independent thinkers. Meade didn't rescue you, she's just been taken in to help you spend your largesse earned from your work allegedly supporting rule of law.

Repent and ask for God's forgiveness so that you might live?.

Kieth Olbermann is one of these mediocre people who think they're "wicked smart". They're secret kings, smarter than everyone else and constantly snarking and full of putdowns because they believe the liberal/left line.

KO constantly lies and puts out Hysterical nonsense and has zero credibility with anyone with an IQ over 105. This is perfect libtard reaction to the airstrikes. No concern over the death and destruction, just a "clever" attack on Trump. Why Trump is trying to distract from the Epstein files. Snark snark.

If this was 2017, then KO would be claiming Trump did it to distract from fake Russiagate. Never do the libtards care about anything other than destroying their opposition and gaining power.

MTG just posted video showing 50 Iranian Children killed in the airstrikes. Oh well, we're doing it for their own good. Sorry parents.

narciso said...

He was mildly amusing in the 90s then he became ubls best pall in the 00s

Oso Negro said...

@RCOCEAN II. I have no doubt that all information released by Iran is exactly the truth. Stack the little bodies next to those of the 600,000 “dead” Gazans. If it will help you feel better, take a belt from th closet and self-flagellate. I feel pretty good myself.

I thought the attack was to distract from the President's deeply offensive attack on the USA women's hockey team and the complicit men hockey players who laughed and guzzled beer and didn't defend their fellow skaters' honor.

I so love how Linda Cohn has stood about against the bum. Keith is a bum.

bagoh20 said...

Althouse nails it.

Every civilization has it's fools, but rarely have so many been so well heard. That's freedom, but freedom isn't free. Hearing Olbermann is one of the cost we must bear, like noisy construction equipment or jet engines. At least those things offer something in return.

Maynard said...

Olbermann sounds like Igna and Kaki’s guru.

Bob Boyd said...

Olbermann crawled into a hole in the ground and shit all over himself. There he remains. He doesn't come out and certainly no one tries to coax him out. Everybody seems content with the current arrangement.
Once in a while he can be heard to shout angrily from his hole, but usually you can't make out what he said and you're definitely not going to go over and ask him to repeat it.
One day the shouts will stop and the downwind neighbors will fill in the hole.

Jimmy said...

"MTG just posted video showing 50 Iranian Children killed in the airstrikes. Oh well, we're doing it for their own good. Sorry parents"
Also reported, the missile was launched by Iran, and misfired, destroying the school.
But jump right in with anti Jew hate, without knowing any real facts.
People using propaganda to advance their racism and hatred really suck.

bagoh20 said...

I thought this was to distract from the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, or ubiquitous fraud, or the illegal and undemocratic Russia hoax by Democrats at the very top, or their lawfare, or etc., etc. Maybe Democrats should just say "thanks", especially for distracting from Epstein.

narciso said...

gspencer said...

Until the name Olbermann appears on my screen - just by chance, like from an AA post - I never think of this guy. But we should be grateful. At least as far as Wiki has taken things, he hasn't procreated.

MadTownGuy said...

Keith Olbermann has never been funny, except when he was parodied in the opening sequence of the first "Despicable Me" movie.

He was tolerable when he was sports reporter on KNBC Los Angeles, but after that he became insufferable.

John Borell said...

I appreciate if you’re going to do something to divert from Epstein, why not go big.

Bob B said...

Trump is so devious. He had Iran’s leadership shouting “Death to America” for forty years, murder hundreds of Americans and tens of thousands of their countrymen so he could distract from the Epstein files. <\sarc>

RNB said...

Keith Olbermann is still alive?

Just an old country lawyer said...

DinkyDau45 beat him to it a couple of blog items ago. Amazing, original insight.

bagoh20 said...

People like Olbermann, Rosie O'Donnell, Robert De Niro, Jimmy Kimmel, and many others have a serious mental defect. They would be against Trump pulling them out of quicksand and would curse him with their last breath. It's demented. It would be admirable if it made any sense, but it's based on lies they tell themselves over and over.

bagoh20 said...

The Democrats have been self-destructing all year. This distraction is a gift for them, and they can bitch about it at the same time.

Mr. D said...

I really enjoyed watching him 30 years ago. Always looked sharp at the SportsCenter desk in his double breasted suits. These days we don't require moral tutelage from guys who talk about the Knicks.

Hassayamper said...

"Trump mentioned 50,000 times in the Epstein files!"

Yes indeed

• 40,000 times Epstein grumbling about him and accusing him of cooperating with the police and whining about how much he hates him.
• 9,999 times Epstein conspiring with Democrats in Congress to dig up dirt on Trump-- long after he was known to be a convicted sex offender-- but coming up empty.
• 1 time a known confabulator told the FBI tip line she was abused by Trump, and the FBI (long before it was ever under Trump's command) investigated and found the charges groundless and specious.

Tom T. said...

It's not just Olbermann. Bluesky is all about the supposed Epstein diversion right now.

Hassayamper said...

Also reported, the missile was launched by Iran, and misfired, destroying the school.

There's a very distinct chance this hit its intended target, as a deliberate false flag intended to manipulate the emotions of white leftist women in the West.

The Islamists have never shrunk from sacrificing their children to their moon-demon. Remember how they killed off a generation of kids by using them as human minesweepers in the Iran-Iraq War?

bob said...

the main problem in the world today is that we are figuring out what happened in the past that had to do with Jeffrey Epstein—and can't pin it on Trump.

Temujin said...

Too many people have Epsteasles and they cannot stop moping around about it.

Lazarus said...

No, it's to distract from our friendly takeover of Cuba.

Rosalyn C. said...

So far this AM I read a school in Iran was bombed and there were 14 deaths; no, make that 40, oh now it’s 50. No independent verification yet.
All week I’ve been seeing photos of incredible people from Iran who were murdered during the protests. Tens of thousands of people murdered by the Iranian regime. It’s unfathomable.

The judge said...

RCO, your antisemitism is much more offensive than Olberman’s ignorance.

narciso said...

Mostly dead, as i recall msnbc was osamas favorite channel

Dave Begley said...

Iran, “But we were close to a deal!”

jim said...

I think they want to figure out if we have inactive pedo as president. And, of course they want to stick it to Trump.

Lazarus said...

This has been quite a diversion from the other big bombshell of the weekend: Joe Biden's return from hibernation/hospitalization to defend his miserable record.

Wilbur said...

Trump knows, as does any serious observer, that you cannot make a deal with someone who has publicly slavered to exterminate you since 1979.

The last almost-50 years have demonstrated the results of weakly knuckling under to hostage takers. What's happening now should've happened in 1979.

Skeptical Voter said...

Olberman isn't funny. He is a pathetic albeit nasty buffoon. He's managed to get himself fired from every job he ever had. Character and lack of competence will tell in the end.

narciso said...

That takes a certain amount of skill

EAB said...

I wish there’d been a betting pool of some sorts that the narrative would be “diversion from Epstein.” I find it odd, considering it was the Clinton’s on the hot seat this past week. Why distract from that? Timing-wise, it’s more aligned with a bunch of women who might be inclined to protest distracted by part 2 of Bridgerton season 4.

Iman said...

What does Jimmy Kimmel think!?

/sarc

Peachy said...

REMEMBER: the left do not care at all that Iran shots it's own people to the tune of thousands - just for voicing opposition to the Islamic regime.

Leland said...

What does Jimmy Kimmel think!?

No. What does Jimmy Kimmel’s wife think? Jimmy doesn’t. He does what he’s told.

gadfly said...

Even Olbermann did not know that the name of the new war is called "Roaring Lion" by Israel and "Operation Epic Fury" by the United States Department of Defense. So Whiskey Pete cannot get anything right.

Enigma said...

At some point jokes get old and unfunny. At some point news is no longer new.

At some point TDS will mark on as stale and deluded, even among those who previously suffered from TDS.


But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
More than you'll ever know

Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down

I thought the bombing was to distract everyone from the womens' hockey joke.

Tell me how this lunatic isn't any different than our resident leftists.

Jim at said...

I so love how Linda Cohn has stood about against the bum.

Linda Cohn is a class act. I covered sporting events alongside her in the late '80s before she moved to ESPN.

Dr Weevil said...

Iman (2:13pm):
You mispunctuated the sentence. It needs a comma, "What, does Jimmy Kimmel think?!" and the answer is "Probably not".
