Wow! All it takes is a dig at Keith Olbermann’s non-Ivy League diploma to earn Ann Coulter ‘worst person in the world’ status, and a lengthy haranguing on his show. For all those Red Staters upset at missing out on the badge of honor in the past, Ann Coulter has shown you the door.
But Keith, let me offer you some advice in the spirit of Bear Bryant. You may recall from your Sports Center days that Bryant advised players who had just scored to act as if they’d been in the end zone before. Well, someone in the ‘news business’ like you are might want to act as if you’re more concerned with the truth than with petty insults. You’ll never amount to anything in the ‘news business’ if you have to respond to every little sling and arrow that comes your way.
Would Edward R. Murrow have dignified Coulter’s criticisms with a response (assuming he too, had bragged endlessly about an Ivy League education)? How about Walter Cronkite? I mean, I don’t even remember Dan Rather responding to What’s the Frequency Kenneth.
.
Does the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (”advancing a productive and sustainable agriculture“) really require such a prickly defense? For what it’s worth, I don’t believe anyone doubted that you got a diploma Keith; even the fact that it says ‘Cornell University’ isn’t a big surprise. But if it helps get you through the night, I offer my congratulations. Well done, Keith! And to have taken ‘nearly half’ of your courses in the arts college - wow! I think we’re all really impressed at how huge you are!
And I’m not even going to ask where you went for your graduate degree.

"Would Murrow, Cronkite, et al..."
furious Saturday, March 7th at 11:30AM EST (link)…no, old-school journos like them wouldn’t feel the need to fluff their resume’s to compensate, for, whatever Olbermann feels he’s lacking.
Credentialism wasn’t as rampant in their day — newsgathering and muckraking were. Oh for ‘back in the day’.

The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

uh...he doesn't want to be Murrow
franklinslocke Saturday, March 7th at 1:42PM EST (link)Obermann likes what he does. He thinks this is what people want to see, although his ratings prove otherwise. But, Liberals would just say they don’t watch the gyrations of ratings on a daily basis. These rants are meaniless and benifit our cause, because it shows how loony the Left truly is.

Keith Olbermann's world
Right_Again Saturday, March 7th at 1:42PM EST (link)His worst people in the world consist almost exclusively of journalists on one competing news channel, His world must be much smaller than most people’s. And I do mean “smaller” in the way most men take it.
His top three worst-in-the-world people seem to never include terrorists, dictators, murderers, arsons, theives, rapists, child-molesters or democrats. However, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter make the list regularly.
Something’s a little off in his view of his world and the people who occupy it. Can we call it myopic?
While I’m griping about the jerk. Could he ever have the guts to have a guest who isn’t a syncophant. He is so insecure he will not have a guest on his show with whom he might slightly disagree. Every one of his guests nods their head in agreement while Keith pontificates and then he returns the favor as they spew.
Worst Person
Dencal26 Saturday, March 7th at 1:50PM EST (link)Has anyone noticed of Osama BinLaden ever made Olbermanns list? How about Ayman Al Zawahiri or Muqtadr Al Sadr or Putin?
I'm surprised he hasn't targeted someone the UN has called out.
Chemical Sam Saturday, March 7th at 7:28PM EST (link)Like that President from The Sudan might work as one of his Worst Persons in the World tirades.
That would have been a no-brainer, right at his level.
Of course, he might have, I don’t watch Bigmouth anymore.

I remember a time....
jazzycmk Saturday, March 7th at 2:08PM EST (link)….when Olbermann used to be funny when he was on SportsCenter.
Of course, Janene Garofolo used to be funny too.
Then they just got mean-spirited and bitter.
What the hell happend to you?

Simple. They began to believe their own propganda.
Chemical Sam Saturday, March 7th at 7:45PM EST (link)The world wasn’t fitting their world-view, and, thinking they acutally had the disposal of an audience to shape, and they have authority where they actually have none, they began to over-reach for an ideal that’s not really ideal, or attainable, or even good. They get frustrated with the results, even sucesses aren’t complete enough. They push harder and louder, and butt up against the same problem with their ideals, which remain immutably bad. The pressure increases, and something has to give. Too much is invested psychologically and emotionally at this point. These people can never, I repeat never, admit they’re wrong, can never apologize, or what audience that remains will disappear.
A lot of actors and actresses who live in and get rich on fantasy and ideal worlds have precisely the same problem. They are to be pitied at the very first, ridiculed next, but never ignored completely, for they can do great damage in an incendiary way. Like get someone like Obama into office on a lot of charismatic guff. Only after they face reality and give up or apologize should payment come: to be ignored, dimissed, forsaken. To paraphrase Kipling, the wages of delusion is isolation.
Payment is already coming. Can’t find honorable men for his cabinet, can’t magically charm people who are losing all their wealth and money, can’t claim his race as a hindrance anymore, can’t even find answers from those people who were clever enough to get him into the Big Chair.
Or bottom-of-the-barrel ratings.

Well said....
lonebeagle Sunday, March 8th at 1:34AM EST (link)I couldn’t have come close to saying it as well as you.
A general observation: Why are posts here so much insightful and intelligent than those at Kos?
I was listening to the “Ron Reagan” show on Air America and there was a substitute woman host who went on and on and on about her battles with her health insurer. I wanted to jump out the window after listening for 3 minutes.
No wonder no listens to liberal talk shows or Keith.
what a liar...
Jack Saturday, March 7th at 2:26PM EST (link)olbie listen closely. The graduate of the Ivy League Cornell are always putting down the ag school graduates. Hey moron you are too stupid to know it when they are putting you down. LOL olbie you are a pathetic joke.

He's just asserted what Coulter's claiming that he's a NON-IVY LEAGUE Cornell.
Rod_Patrick Saturday, March 7th at 2:53PM EST (link)Anne rests her case.
But Keith’s really a crook:
Keith just copied Anne Coulter’s defense for the graduates of agricultural colleges and other non-Ivy League schools.

fisk2521 Saturday, March 7th at 5:34PM EST (link)This can’t possibly be the ‘worst thing’ ever said about this clown. I can’t watch him anymore and find MSNBC a ridiculous caricature of a ‘news’ stattion. It is similar to the “Daily show” but meant to be serious. I find both of them not worth any time.
Frankly, I thought Ann Coulter was being kind to him.
