Keith Olbermann calls his show Countdown because he’s counting down to his final viewer. The New York Daily News reports, “For the week of Sept. 5–11, “Countdown” attracted an average 142,000 total viewers and an average 46,000 adults aged 25–54 — the demographic category that advertisers consult when buying time on cable network news programs.” That means he now has half the viewers he had during his debut week, but twice the viewers he deserves.

It appears Slolivia is not only a Burka Babe, but has the hots for Herr Olberschmeckle and his band of rowdies. She must be one of the 12 or so viewers left that actually get current TV or whatever the Goiracles channel is called. I see direct TV doesn't feel the need to tie up the bandwidth with Al TV.
He is just another spittle throwing liberal who can't get anyone to watch him, no rocket science here, he's an idiot with no real news, just bash anyone who disagrees with him and his liberal views...He's got about as much credibility as Wrestling on TV.
She says she doesn't have a TV...she must watch Olbie by proxy.
I am just a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit skeptical of her claim of no television after reading her posts......
She probably doesn't own a television because all her waking moments are spent on the computer, grossing out restaurant patrons, or at work.
BTW, has anyone been to an emergency room that doesn't have a television? ;-)
Yeah, I know. No one believes her.
FREE MARKET PRINCIPLES OF FAIRNESS. NO MORE OGER, THAT'S FAIR BALANCED AND AN UNAFRAID RECONCILIATION OF CREEP OLBERMANN AKA THE OGER
Slowlivia: "He must be doing something right, if he’s got you far righters all in a tizzy."
Yep, he's done SOMETHING right.... Gone to Current TV w/ roundboy Gore as his boss, w/ a whole 30,000 viewers in primetime to his name.
Where they found 29,999 viewers as as vacuous as you is the question.
My guess is that these are the "you can fool SOME of the people ALL of the time" folks we've heard so much about in jokes over the years.
Time to inject a Bushism:
You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.
You cleaned it up a little, removed some of the, ahhhhh, confusion he peppered it with. But this version works well.
He must be doing something right, if he's got you far righters all in a tizzy.
If he were as ineffectual as you're trying to claim, there's be no reason for you to band together and fling childish insults at him. ;)
O-liver-A...I just got an Email from KOlbie, he wants me to send him my gym drawers. I think he's hungry.
He must not be doing too much right, or there would be people watching his show.
Oblivious, don't you have any new material?
If Olbermann were as "original" as you, he would have been off the air 2 years ago!
Instead of copying and pasting the same bullshit into every post, try thinking up some new catch phrases. "Far righters", "Childish insults", and the rest of your repertoire are getting tiresome.
I understand your "speechwriter" over at therationalradical.com hasn't posted since January, making it tough to come up with new material, so maybe you should take a hint from him and stop posting as well.
//He must be doing something right, if he’s got you far righters all in a tizzy.//
A stopped clock is right twice a day, but otherwise is not functional and has no real value. Just because someone points this out about any of your heroes on the left, this within itself does not meet the definitional criteria for a "tizzy"..
I will say this much: I am thankful for Herr Olbermann and others like him (to include you).
I say this because I always have adhered to the old saying that no one is ever completely worthless, at very least they can serve as a bad example.
That's why I have yet to call you worthless, you are IHTM's bad example. You are a valuable teaching tool.
no one is ever completely worthless, at very least they can serve as a bad example
I'm going to have to remember that one.
Well, she is a tool.
I knew someone would point that out, the moment I hit send.
Who will the last viewer standing? It could be you.
Enter now to win an all expense paid trip to Cuba for the winter.

Translation: "I have no criticism of any substance to make about the man-----other than that he regularly debunks the propaganda I love and cling to----so I'll make up a bunch of stupid stuff, to pretend that he's a communist."
It certainly is entertaining to watch you guys b*tch your heads off about Keith Olbermann, especially since you don't seem to be able to come up with any examples of what you object to about his broadcasts. More evidence that your political views are based on lies, tired old prejudices and a emotional need to be part of a group.

I have no real knowledge or understanding as to why you all are right and I am wrong, nor can I explain why the market is so stacked against Olbermann. The pesky facts are that I cannot defend why he is losing viewers at a such a high rate, other than he may be full of shit and I can never admit to that because I follow everything he says blindly, as it fits my preconceived notions. The only thing I have is to accuse you all of bias, when I have nothing in which to defend my stances with. I am a dying cockroach, please help me.
I'd rather just stomp her.
He'll soon be COUNTED-OUT. KO'd, done, sent away like a step child. I can't count the times I wanted to stuff a dirty pair of gym drawers down his gullet to make him shut up. He's pathetic. It won't be long.

Yeah, heaven forbid that anyone with a viewpoint opposing your own be permitted to express it, huh?
Especially those viewpoints that come equipped with pesky facts and documentation to back them up........ ;)
If you think Olby cares about opposing viewpoints, your an moron, & this is the same man who told President Bush to , "Shut, the hell, up!". So excuse me if America is rejecting him & tell him to, "Shut, the hell, up", with their TV remote.
Slowlivia: "Especially those viewpoints that come equipped with pesky facts and documentation to back them up…….."
Oh, you mean the "facts" which you uniformly run away from whenever they are presented to you?
//Especially those viewpoints that come equipped with pesky facts //
Let's see a list of those pesky facts, so we can properly vet them.
I hope Olbermann gets rabies.
Why you wanna be so mean to rabies?
The way he foams at the mouth he already has rabies.
His pantys are always tied in a knot
Twice the viewers? More like 142,000 more viewers than he should. I think it must be all the lobotomized patients in the mental wards and the comatose patients in the ICU's. You know, the ones who can't complain. I need to call attackwatch about the torture going on against those who can't fight back!
You left out the dead, the same ones who voted for Obama.
His departure couldn't happen soon enough.
