Two articles in the Huffington Post demonstrate that the Apocalypse is imminent.
First was the story of Robert Gibbs lashing out at the media. No, not Fox News, but MSNBC, and more specifically, that lovable leftist lunatic Keith Olbermann.
The article began “White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs offered a noticeably snide dig on Wednesday to cable news critics who claim that the president is being too hands-off with the oil crisis — specifically MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, who harshly criticized Obama’s Oval Office address the night before.”
According to the article, “The comments were made in response to a question about whether Gibbs had seen some of the tougher takes on the president from the “Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and Olbermann — the latter of whom critiqued Obama for offering mostly platitudes during his Gulf speech.”
Apparently, the leftist media has learned nothing from watching the Most Media-Loving Administration In History’s war against any journalist foolish enough to question them.
Another HuffPo article noted that Olbermann’s fans, who measure in the dozens, were pretty upset with his treatment of The One and Olbermann was forced to reaffirm his dedication and “Sent a nine-part response over Twitter, praising the President.”
The statement read in part, “This is easily the smartest political leader I have ever seen, as good a political public speaker as I’ve heard, last October I was privileged along with 11 other news people to spend 2 hours with him as he showed extemporaneous mastery of every one of two dozen topics fired at him by us in random order. I left the room wondering if we had ever before actually elected a president who was one of the 1,000 smartest people in the country (or maybe 100, or 10) as we had now. I believe in him and in his presidency and he has frequently achieved success (in health care reform, particularly) by doing that for which I criticized him. I hope that is again the case now because the Gulf Speech was not up to his standards nor did it express his mastery of policy.”
The fact that Olbermann was not the Obama administration’s spokesman came as a shock to both liberals and conservatives a like.
However, the fact that he was very sorry surprised no one.

Bawney Fwank wants to know how to get on the short list for a spanking.
isn't that funny, wealthy republicans are evil, but a liberal who makes 8 mil a year..noooo problemo
glibs chiding olbs...LOL....listening to the "one" right now...what a guy! He is so smart...he is really smart, smarter than everyone...he is committed! He is smart and is responding right now! The oil spill will be over very soon (maybe in august cause he is smart and is making sure the oil is getting cleaned up and capped off with cap and trade and not allowing any more drilling!) What a very smart fella! Most definitely in the top ten of the smartest guys ever to walk the face of the earth. He is so smart I feel stupid and wish I would have paid more attention in English class. He is smarter than regular style smart, he is uber smart and makes the people look not really smart and it is because he is so smart. And he wears smart suits too! Good Lord, I am in awe to be in the same land with such a smart guy!
Keith Olberman better watch out . . . Obama might want some of that pay raise he got -thanks to the GE bailout- back.
That might happen if the conservatives get a chance to appoint a pay tzar. The $8miilion a year he gets seems a little high condering where he is in the ratings.
That tingle turned out to be fleas.
....fans, who measure in the dozens,..... True, but still brings tears of laughter to my eyes.
In a related development, Chris Matthews is seeing a doctor about the missing tingle in his leg. Hope he Twitters about it once it returns (yuckky, yuck, yuck).
No doubt KO considers himself amongst the top 1,000.. at least! Perhaps even in the top 100! or TEN! I mean, to have the worshipfulness that he has of The One makes it a given that you're in that elite group, right? Gag!
