Be flattered: we save that one for *special* stupid.
(H/T Ace of Spades) The previous two times were for Jim “Saddam paid my way!” McDermott and Jay “Blame the Michelle Whitey tape on the VRWC!” Carney, which should give you some clue of the special level of stuck on stupid that this designation requires. Luckily, Keith Olbermann is up to the challenge.
This is based exclusively on a report by Sy Hersh…
Yes, everybody sane can stop reading now.
…about this super-secret organization called the Joint Special Operations Command…
Here’s the Global Security entry. And its Wikipedia entry. Lastly, here’s a double-super-secret book
on the subject.
…that doesn’t report to anybody…
Except for the United States Special Operations Command. They’re listed here.
…set up by the Clintons…
Who apparently were running the country in 1980.
…and run by this shadowy guy named Admiral McRaven…
Cleverly hiding here.
…who just ordered some spooky ‘certain activities’ stopped…
All of this is apparently based off of this article reporting how McRaven temporarily halted commando raids into Afghanistan for two weeks in February of 2009 - otherwise known as “during the Obama administration” - out of concern for the possibility of there being too many civilian casualties. And by ‘based off of’ I mean ‘both reports are in English.’
…and the CIA called it all ‘utter nonsense.’
OK, you got me there. It is utter nonsense.
Keith Olbermann then proceeds to wreck any chance for Howard Fineman to ever have his new book taken seriously by making Fineman play along. Fineman’s game enough, true… although the way that he kept throwing in if-its-true every chance that he got should have allowed even Olbermann the chance to realize that MSNBC’s research department fell down on the job here. Then again, if he had, he’d probably blame it all on Bush and Cheney anyway. Everything else is their fault, after all.
Moral of the story? While I don’t begrudge even the Online Left their masturbatory experiences, really, kids: don’t get your thinking from the guy from the cow college. Even if he does wear a suit vest.

IJB Friday, March 13th at 9:03PM EDT (link)Because they think that constantly retreading these “Bush & co. are responsible for every evil thing that has happened in the world! (over the last 50 years!!)” is going to save their butts in 2010.
Oh well - some people need to learn *by doing*. And I guess that’s OK!
Wow they really really hate Bush and Cheney

WarEagle01 Friday, March 13th at 10:03PM EDT (link)Unbelievably amateurish, even for a mess nbc. I used to work for this “executive assassination ring” as an Air Force officer. Like any other combatant command, JSCO gets its funding from Congress. Yes, some of that funding is classified, but that’s why members of Congress get security clearances. But, as Moe notes, all of this information is freely available online. This is just bad, even by Bathtub Boy standards. And Fineman? No wonder Newsweek is such a disaster.

Jeff Emanuel Friday, March 13th at 10:11PM EDT (link)I doubt Keith’s going to be giving me a call for clarification any time soon. Probably scared of being assassinated over the phone line.

There are only two possibilities
davo119 Saturday, March 14th at 6:32AM EDT (link)One:
Olberman et.al. are hopelessly insane raving paranoids that are a threat to themselves and others. Unlikely since they seem to be able to function outside a rigidly structured environment.
Or two:
They are shameless propagandists parroting the lies of the ruling elite for the purpose of controlling the great unwashed (in their minds) masses. Far more likely and far more dangerous.
Never give in! Never! Never! Never!
or both
bk Saturday, March 14th at 10:20PM EDT (link)This Q and A sums things up perfectly
bk Saturday, March 14th at 8:02AM EDT (link)So if it is allegedly plausible but not true, it is still considered a shocking revelation. This is another twist on the “There are those who say that…” line of questioning from the press where rumor is considered fact and fact is considered irrelevant.
And on a different question, Fineman unwittingly describes the double standard for The One in his answer.
So a reporter can GUARANTEE what Obama is thinking, and it’s therefore right for the press to give Obama a pass for anything he does even if the same action under Bush/Cheney was considered an international war crime.
Doesn't Keith "the vacuous cranium" know
jerrye Saturday, March 14th at 9:09AM EDT (link)that the JSOC is controlled by the mole king in his underground lair? Now, now Keith, take your “quiet pills” and go to bed now.
Olberman is only good for a belly laugh. Plus, if this group really did these things in the warpo universe of Olberman, he would be on the top of the list to be “taken out” and be prevented from reporting on this super, secret group. Come on Keith - just put them on double, secret probation and be done with it.
The loons will eat this up.
johnt Saturday, March 14th at 10:55AM EDT (link)Olbermann may be the only one running with this fantasy but be sure there are others in our degenerate media who believe or suspect it, they are only more cautious, not saying much considering Keith’s severe mental problems.

briefsynopsis Saturday, March 14th at 11:22AM EDT (link)It is my belief that Chainme and Boosh did order these units to seek out and eradicate all unicorns (for their farts) and pixies (for their vapor dust)! thus ensuring that “eeviiiil big oil” gets another 100 years of unabated ecological rape.
Remember it is the seriousness of the charges that count!
Hey Kook left,… what about the 500 mpg (miles per gallon) carburetor(?), Or the combustion engine that runs on water(?), That these two would not let come to market????

Okay. My drive-by-shooting of the month
Yahuti Saturday, March 14th at 12:39PM EDT (link)compels me to observe that:
Olberman is living proof that this (breathless) bunch of assassini does not exist. If they were a reality Olberman most likely would already have been hooded, handcuffed and transported to a secret place where he would be busy at this moment - scrubbing their latrines.
My instinct causes me to believe that Olberman doesn’t believe a word of this story himself. He’s just having fun. Muckraking. Tweaking the nose of a far better man than he. He feels safe. Secure. Fears no retribution.
Why are my instincts whispering this view into both my ears? Because if Olberman was a true believer in this cute little gasper, the color of the stripe down his back would surely have have zippered, then glued, then taped his mouth shut.
Oh well, what else can one say after: DOLT! Lumpy Leftist lickspittle. Ingrate. Coward. Buffoon. Backshooter. And just plain fun to watch. Listening to this twerp spew his venom for real, I am reminded of what Scott Ott does for fun on Scrapple Face.
I’m certain that Keith is not normally this obtuse. Ya see, he probably is very physically uncomfortable, being obviously unable to prevent his Depends from fouling his truss when he uncrosses his legs and attempts to stand like a man.
Okay gang. I’m back to working on my Website.
Keep up the good work.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’ That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
