This is your liberal news show hosts folks
LibsDontGetIt
Keith Olbermann, for those of you who never watch MSNBC (which would be most
of you,) is the host of the daily 'Countdown' show on MSNBC. Olbermann is a
leftist, ultra-liberal host. He's also in third place, with barely anyone
watching. Consider the most recent ratings, courtesy of the Drudge Report:
FOXNEWS O'REILLY 2,264,000
MSNBC OLBERMANN 349,000
That's right....over 6 times as many people watch O'Reilly than watch
Olbermann. More people even watch Nancy Grace's show on Headline News. So
since Olbermann can't win in the ratings, he does what any low-rated show
does: make fun of the competition to try and get attention. Which leads us
to Saturday's breakfast at the Television Critics Association press tour.
Olbermann, who is obsessed with Bill O'Reilly, shows up with an O'Reilly
mask. You know, one of those deals with O'Reilly's head on a stick. He was
holding it up over his face, and...no surprise here...raising his hand in a
Nazi salute. In case you hadn't picked up on this, it is the natural
fallback position of any liberal to accuse the conservative of being a Nazi
when they run out of ideas. That's how you know a leftist has lost an
argument: they call you a Nazi.
Unable to get viewers himself, Olbermann has now resorted to riding
O'Reilly's coattails. Olbermann says his show has to take more chances to
compete with Fox. The problem is, they can't compete. Nobody is watching.
His show and the entire channel, thus far, are a complete failure.
MSNBC has been on for 10 years and the ratings are still miserable. Perhaps
NBC will finally pull the plug on the whole operation and put on another
shopping channel or something. And then Keith Olbermann could go back to
doing sports, something he was actually good at.

The battle between Saladin and Richard marked the high point of the
Crusades, the first major clash between Islam and Western Christendom, which
lasted more than three centuries. And though they are only faint in the
Western consciousness, in the Muslim world the Crusades still loom large in
cultural memory. When Osama bin Laden declared his own jihad in 1998, he
accused America of "[spearheading] the crusade against the Islamic nation."
And in a tape released to his followers last year, he promised that the
world would "see again Saladin carrying his sword, the blood of unbelievers
dripping from it."
