Good ole' Keith.

Man, I tell ya, nothing says comedy than MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. I've been watching the show for about a year now, and thanks to that wonderful site, Olbermannwatch I can see I haven't missed much.

Seriously every episode of Countdown is pretty much the same damn thing every night. The usual targets are how evil republicans and to lesser extent Independents (he does go after Lou Dobbs for being "racist"), pointless and often ridiculous attacks on his more successful competitor for the 8 P.M time slot, one Mr. Bill O'reilly (who constantly destroys Olby in the ratings nightly), attacks on Fox News, which he often called "Fox Noise", Fixed News", and "Faux News" for being biased, which is ironic coming from Keith as MSNBC is 4 times as biased that Fox or even CNN, who is also pretty biased but I don't mind CNN personally, numerous smears on Bill (who Keith has a disturbing man crush on), Rush Limbaugh (whom he called fat, which is also ironic, considering Keith is a fat bastard himself), and basically one who makes the smallest mistake or bad mouths NBC, GE, Democrat's, or the Messiah (Obama). He's also famous for his "rip and read" style. Meaning if he sees something negative about Fox or something more successful than himself, he attacks, and quotes random pieces from said article to make said person seem like they did something awful.

Keith is also know for his lulzy "Special Comments". These said comments are often about how bad George Bush was, which I didn't like George Bush either but you know, I get tired of hearing the same shit over and over again, however Keith's shining moment of melodrama was his comment of Prop 8 the legislation which banned gay marriage in the most liberal state in America, California. The comment was one for the ages, fake tears, forced emotions, holding back said fake tears, and other melodramatic elements and honestly the only reason he even said did a comment is because his BFF, Richard Mancow (Rachael Maddow) who's a huge lesbian, with her own show on MSNBC, which gets destroyed in the rating by Sean Hannity nightly. Seriously, you can find said comments on Youtube for a good laugh.

I'm glad Countdown is shown at least 3 times a night, cause I can always use a good laugh and Countdown delivers in spades.
