Keith Olbermann Rips Tucker Carlson in His Worst Persons Segment
By Heather Saturday Oct 24, 2009 2:30pm
How many times did Tucker have this coming when he worked for MSNBC but he never made the Worst Persons list since he was at the same network? Keith lets loose on him in this segment.
OLBERMANN: The Beck theory that the government is using On Star to track your whereabouts. This close to claiming they implanted microchips in his head.
That‘s next, but first time for COUNTDOWN‘s number two story, tonight‘s worst persons in the world.
The bronze to Boss Limbaugh. I‘ll just read this: “Obama is out there saying that Fox News is talk radio. I‘m living rent-free in this guy‘s head. Fox News is talk radio. If that‘s true, MSNBC is pornography. And Obama likes MSNBC. CNN is child porn.”
Wow, his imagery gets more and more disturbing every day.
The runner-up, Tucker Carlson, world sophistry champion. “The two most senior members of the White House staff attempt to bully a news outlet into silence and hardly anyone in the press says a word. Meanwhile, the same White House that had just finished lecturing working journalists on the superiority of straight news coverage hosted a secret, off the record briefing for Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. The two, along with several other liberal commentators, spent more than two hours with Obama. Why is the press corps giving the White House a pass for behavior it never would have tolerated from other administrations? Conservatives believe it‘s simple bias.”
I‘m a little tired of the sanctimonious, amnesic crap from people like Tucker Carlson. The previous White House planted questions in its own news conference, secretly paid conservative columnists, staged massage briefing sessions for radio hosts, sent out a list of questions they hoped I would use to discredit Joe Wilson, publicly attacked NBC, publicly attacked MSNBC, by the admission of the press secretary, just the other day, cut MSNBC out of access to administration officials, and its party leadership tried to blackmail NBC News into removing me from election coverage by threatening to boycott a presidential debate.
This White House finally called out a group of amoral political operatives posing as journalists. That was it. They didn‘t deny them credentials. They didn‘t try to silence them. They didn‘t take them off the air. They didn‘t try to take them off the air. They called them what they are, the media propaganda wing of the Republican party.
And I‘m a little tired of the false equivalency here. You go ask this White House if they‘re happy that I‘m insisting on the public option when they‘re not. You go ask this White House if they‘re happy that I‘m pushing for torture prosecutions and they‘re trying to soft pedal them.
I don‘t know if the paranoids of this world, like Michelle Malkin, think Obama handed me my instructions, or she thinks I handed him his. But when I support what this president is doing, it‘s because I think he is right. The operative word is think.
I‘m not, Rachel Maddow is not, Glenn freaking Beck or Michelle freaking Malkin, a knee jerk jukebox of party doctrine, screeching at every reform, mocking every expression of sympathy, repeating anything the nit-wits, which they serve as doctrine slaves, try to palm off on the sheep they hope will lead them back to power.
I will tell you exactly what happened on Monday at the White House Monday; an off the record conversation about all the issues of the day, just like, I imagine, the one the president had with those four conservative columnists at George Will‘s house in January. Also, we had the best damn peach cobbler I ever had in my life.
Our winner, Senator Lindsey Graham. He says today he can support legislation to try to stop climate change, but at a price there. “There will be no climate change with my vote unless you have offshore oil drilling. I won‘t vote for any climate change bill that doesn‘t allow a dramatic increase in nuclear power. I‘m not going to vote for any climate change bill that doesn‘t allow us to use our coal deposits. We need to use the coal God has given us.”
Senator, you do realize that the we need to use what God has given us argument can be applied to any natural substance on Earth, you know, like Marijuana? Senator Lindsey “I did not say we need to use the Marijuana that God has given us” Graham, today‘s worst person in—I forgot.

A very dull tool indeed!
who is of military age and not in uniform.
Wanna explain how that works, you coward?
Tucker? Tuuck?
Aw crap, he's under the bed - peeing himself again...
When you can abuse video store employees?
Isn't that where the chamber pot is kept, afterall?
zzzzzzzz....huh? What? A cowardly right-wing POS said something stupid again?....hnnnn....never mind....wake me up when something NEW happens, K? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Still classic.
The guy is a surgeon.
"Im not saying your not a smart guy, cause those are hard to tie ..."
This stuff pisses me off. Olbermann couldn't call out Tucker because the top brass would get all pissy, just like he can't call out Scarborough or any of the other nuts on MSNBC or NBC.
CNN censors criticism of Dobbs
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/24/cnn-edits...
Fox censors any truth that may expose reality to their viewers.

What is the purpose of the FCC again? If the FDA can stop companies from claiming health benefits when there are none, can't the FCC stop shows/networks from being called "news" when they aren't?
CNN, MSNBC and Fox are just propaganda.
I think I could hang out with Keith for a night. do a few bong hits.. laugh at the frightwing...watch some videos of the right going batshit and nutty. It sounds like a lot of fun and some great laughs. Call me Keith. Im Canadian.. ill bring the bud.
Carlson looks like the kind of guy even your brother-in-law can beat up. Why should Obama give Fox the time of day? They don't respect the office or the man. Fuck Fox.
Keith Doberman sinks his teeth into another conservative hack pretending to be a liberal.
Sic'em, boy!
poor Fucker Carlson. What's it like to have never grown up or gotten out of you daddy's shadow who got you your jobs?
while that explains why you screech sweet nothings the loudest, it doesn't excuse them.
It's twoo it's weally twoo Tuck'a.
Yes there is absolutely no comparison:none between the Obama and Bush admins when it comes to how the press operates and is/was treated.Bush never once invited a Liberal commentator to the WH while Obama made it one of his first acts to invite Conservatives.
The Bush cartel made FOX their home and never did an interview they didn't have complete control over.They never did a Townhall(with a few disastorous,telling exceptions)that they didn't completely control and they forced demonstrators into "free speech zones" while Obama's Town Halls featured armed lunatics.We know this and soooooooooooo much more that it's boring to repeat over and over.
If only these weasels would stop lying.
What are they going to say then?
"Our goal is to take all your money and drive you into poverty."
"Our other goal is to make sure everyone who isn't one of us is dead (after we take all your money. That would include blacks, gays, most women, most foreigners, all liberals, all moderates and anyone who isn't a fundamentalist Christian (unless you're a Saudi with lots of money for us)."
I just came back from Kroger.
I just spent $80.00 on a week worth of groceries, and that's with their reward card.
LOL!
Nice comment. Still chuckling. Especially that drive you into poverty part.
Uh, Keith?
Graham "Worst Person" for "what God has given us" remark???
How about "Worst Person" for refusing to sign a "Global Warming Bill" unless it allows for more oil drilling and coal burning? Kinda misses the point, don'tcha think?
OK, I'll sign the global warming bill as long as we can do everything that can be done to increase global warming.
Here's a message from Environment Canada:

;)
It's good to see Minister Mercer's instructional infomercial supporting the Conspin of the benefits of our invisible friend, CO2.
Next should be that old dinosaur Rex Murphy telling us a tropical arctic will be just fine for him and his kind.
Gives him a Jurassic shiver up his hind leg I'm told.
Funny stuff. Mercers a hoot. Still miss the Talking To Americans segments.
And I think KO was right on point with Lindsey Graham, too.
Tucker Carlson, the one man in America able to make Jonah Goldberg look smrat (spelling intended).

Tucker really needs to buy a new rug for his head and keep practicing his feminine squeaky, whiney voice.
Is that Rachel Maddow, despite being absolutely on the opposite side of the fence to him, has never even once slammed him the way he did her.
Quite the contrary, she has always been completely loyal to Tucker because she recognizes that he fought to have Rachel as his counterpart on his own show.
And the first chance he has to show he can return that loyalty, he stabs Rachel in the back.
Congratulations Carlson. You've just dissed one of the most honorable people you've ever had the privilege of being associated with.
Tucker needs to desperately see a dentist since he has no teeth.
Insane, stupid and greedy the basic requirements to be a good republican. Didn't use to be but in the last thirty years you absolutely cannot be a republican if you posess intelligence, honor, honesty, integrity, or sanity!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness! Proven fact!
I seem to remember a whitehouse get together in maybe Bush's last year or two in office where Sean Hannity and a bunch of right wing hate radio windbags were invited to talk to Bush for an hour or two. God I hate conservatives and their convenient spells of amnesia.
When I saw this it was like a mini-special comment. He flayed the little rabbit-man alive, and his observation about fat boy is right, the bastard is getting creepier than usual with stupid comments like that.
he really wishes CNN was child porn that way it would easier for him to get his fill and it just comes out accidentally.
If Rachel and Keith had been on the air with THESE PROGRAMS during the WMD/Iraq run-up to war... I don't think there would have been a war. They SPEAK THE TRUTH. Nobody was doing that on the air back then... at least not with the intelligence and laser-guided-missile impact that these two deliver EVERY NIGHT.
Oh, yea... Tucker... THANK YOU for puting Rachel on your MSNBC program way back when. At least you will have THAT to take to your grave as one good thing you did for humanity.
... Ed Shultz to this list. Even though he is a relative newbie, he hits them hard - where it hurts.
Jon rips the wingnuts apart. Sometimes hes so subtle they don't even know they have been owned. Most of the time he just calls them flat out. Stewart laid the supreme smackdown on Carlson, Begala and cable news on Crossfire. Classic.
Donahue.
And look how fast MSNBC canceled him for rockets, bombs, flags, magnets, and war-porn profits to the Schaivoed out masses?!? Enjoy Rachel, Keith, and Ed while it lasts because the very moment the heads and beancounters at GE believe Republicanism is becoming profitable again, they'll turn to Rachel, Keith, and Ed, hand them their pink slip, and say, "You are ... theveekustlink! G'Bye ..."
How do these people get jobs talking about anything?
I swear I know more than they do
But I'm definitely middle aged, with a large forehead
And tip over a lot
Even after I quit drinking.
“Obama is out there saying that Fox News is talk radio. I‘m living rent-free in this guy‘s head."
Well one he only mentioned faux not you, rash, and:
http://www.runet.edu/~wkovarik/class/law/1.9b...
Why is he even given a forum anywhere. He's an idiot. Have you ever heard the story about him beating-up a gay guy who he thought was making a pass at him. It was shameul and he should have his ass kicked for doing it.
I didn't know he still had a job.
Did he write that on his blog or something?
Tucker Carlson is a sham. He has bounced around from network to network and never survived longer than a year or so. He's also a closet homosexual. He claims to have bashed a gay man in a park. What was he doing in the park in the first place?
