Breaking: Olberman suspended from duties.
Turns out he's actually a zombie. What else could explain his erratic anti-Clinton behavior lately? I mean, he's been doing stories that call into question the sincerity of the charges she's leveled at Obama. He must have drunk the kool-aid, and MSNBC has caught on. Oh, Keith, we here at DU all loved you at one time. But YOU have changed (not we, not we, not we, not we, not we, not we, not we, not we, not we), and we hate the fact that you can no longer think for yourself--oh yeas, you who were once only weeks ago our oasis from all things republican-media-based. But now you have turned. There must be a cure; you will find it, and we will love you from then on.

So now, depending on which zombie cure they're in to, he will either have to be decapitated, shot in the face, simply killed, or stored in a shed while he plays video games (for all of you _Shaun of the Dead_ fans out there).

5. So then you have always disliked Olberman?
Fair enough. Glad to see you put it out there. See, I've always liked the guy. I've found him to be a breath of fresh air in a land of death, destruction, and Krispy Kremes. He likes to ask questions. I like questions. I like all questions. I even like unfair questions--because unfair questions are made to look stupid when one answers them thoroughly.

But that's just me. Perhaps not we. And perhaps not you.

Hillary, insisting that she should quit the race. Fuck you Olbermann. Olbermann is a shit head. His whole Clinton NAFTA thing was bullshit. He admitted it tonight but in the most convoluted bullshit way I have ever seen.

If he transfers his fluids to anyone else, his contagion will spread. We'll all be Obamaniacs, and we'll all need to feed on Clinton flesh. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, Clinton flesh.

7. actually it's across the board from liberal programming
Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Keith Olbermann, Mike Malloy, Stephanie Miller, Jon Elliott, Richard Greene, and Sam Seder... but in fairness, you do have a DC insider Bill Press remaining team Clinton, as is Air America owner and New York City socialite Mark Greene.

9. Another DU hypocrite.
His authenticity and hard-driving reports are just great until your candidate is targeted. They spent 20 minute tonight talking about the Obama campaign's stumbles, but I guess you missed that part.

You guys are becoming boringly predictable.

Or, taking a page from Sister Sledge: "We are parody . . . I got all my Duers and me."

Now that I think about it, I like the pro/anti-Hillary, pro/anti-Obama people more than I like the "this isn't what Du is about; oh-I'm so ashamed of Du" people.

So . . . much love to all my DU: P peeps out there. All you haters. DU :P in the HOUSE.

So she would rather four more years of a Repuke White House if she can't have the nomination? Its all about HER ass, huh?

59. He should be suspended
Check the end of his program tonight, the "Truth as a defense" line, regarding Hillary as a monster, while yakking with his nightly puppet Dana Milbank.

It's inconceivable an identical or similar summation could be attached to Obama, on any topic, without backlash. In fact, Olbermann himself would be outraged if a prominent media member said something comparable about Obama.

And Olbermann didn't mean it as funny. That's the revealing aspect, apropos of his daily assault on her.

Talent and education are hardly lockstep with class. Olbermann has none of the later.

I've been an Edwards supporter for years, dating to DU posts in 2003 if not late 2002. This campaign it was much simpler to evaluate the Hillary/Obama media coverage if originally you supported someone else. Olbermann was disgraceful from the outset.

The hysterical aspect is his denial, notably aimed at the SNL skits. That's the one thing that clearly irritates him, although somehow he has been spared as a specific target. Yesterday he tried to dismiss the media bias aspect by desperately claiming he asked Obama a tough question at one point, and Russert queried Obama about Farrakhan. LOL. That's the caliber of a Keith Olbermann at this point, actually believing all he needs to do is summon two weak examples, and it verifies the media bias toward Obama is pure mythology.

If it were mythology, that would be obvious, and he wouldn't need to scramble for examples in the first place.

You obviously haven't watched him much. Otherwise you'd know he has well more than "two weak examples" of being critical of Obama.

But then again, don't let me divert you from the zombie attack.

You'll click on a link if it indicates that he's supporting Clinton--or, better yet, criticizing Obama.

But just know one thing: he only wants your brain. Zombies have such tunnel-vision.
