Beck Was Right Again
Jan 23, 2011 Political
Back in November Glenn Beck Predicted that if Comcast merged with NBC then Keith Olbermann would be fired. Yesterday Olbermann delivered his last show and it came after the Comcast/NBC merger was approved.
Olbermann labeled Beck the second worst person of the week and used the prediction as ammunition for his selection. Olbermann claimed that Beck knows nothing about TV and that the name of the game was making money and MSNBC was doing just that. Unfortunately, it looks like the bombastic Olbermann was the one who knew nothing about TV. One would think that after he was fired from ESPN Olbermann might understand that these things can happen.
But, as usual, the loud mouthed moron was wrong.
Olbermann was a huge hypocrite who chided the actions of Bush and praised those very same actions by Obama. While it is fair to say that Olbermann sometimes went after the left he usually did so because they were not leaning far enough left. He went after Republicans simply because they were not left wing politicians regardless of what they might have actually done.
I don’t think that he should have been fired for his political views (though some accounts say he quit) and I am sure that was not the reason. Evidently, he did not play well with others and he finally plucked someone’s final nerve.
The greatest thing of all in this (besides not having this moron spewing his hatred) is that Glenn Beck was absolutely correct when he said a merger with Comcast would lead to the exit of Olbermann. What makes it particularly delightful is that Olbermann chided Beck and said he knew nothing about TV.
Yep, Beck knows nothing about TV but his 5pm time slot was beating Olbermann’s prime time slot (the top six shows are all on FOX) and it is as much about viewers as it is about money because viewers are money. Olbermann’s show, though, was the highest rated on MSNBC which makes me more convinced that his firing was related to his ability (or lack thereof) to get along with others.
Video of Beck discussing this and Olbermann naming him second worst person.
Cave Canem!

Helen Thomas Goes The Way Of The Other Dinosaurs
Jun 7, 2010 Political
It looks like the Jew hating troglodyte Helen Thomas is no more. Like the rest of the dinosaurs she is now non existent, at least with regard to the White House press corps (or corpse to Obama).
Thomas made some anti Semitic remarks this past week and soon felt a wave of push back. She was dropped by her agency as a client and at least one speaking invitation was revoked. She is now no longer employed as she was allowed to resign.
I have to admit that there is little that Barack Obama does with which I agree and his position on Israel is one of those. However, Thomas would not have been bold enough to say how she really felt if it were not for Obama and his cold shoulder treatment of Israel.
Barack Obama, when ridiculing the TEA Party members, said he thinks they should thank him.
I can’t speak for them but I thank you for fostering an environment where Thomas felt safe to say what was really on her mind.
If she had not done that we might have had her acting stupid toward the next president in 2012.
Thanks Barack for helping push this monster out the door. How will this count in the job numbers?
