Olbermann rips off our Stewart-Obama story

We took a little stick yesterday for calling out WGA strike scab Jon Stewart for sliming Barack Obama at the Academy Awards-- linking the name of Hillary Clinton's opponent to Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and Adolph Hitler on the world-viewed Academy Awards less than 24 hours after his fellow neolib Tina Fey (who, as headwriter, did more than anyone to neuter Saturday Night Live's political bite in favor of Harvey Levin celebutard worship) interrupted the SNL news for an overwrought Clinton appeal.

So it's funny to see pretentious, pompous, pear-shaped nutjob Keith Olbermann getting credit for his bravery after ripping off our story and highlighting it on his show on the Obamaphile MSNBC about twelve hours after we published. Of course, Olbermann had to muddy the waters by comparing Stewart to comedienne Ann Coulter, just so he could continue to link his own name to popular conservatives and carry on a phony Fred Allen-Jack Benny media feud, but an equally obvious point is that the mainstream media, most especially phony-Murrow autism cases like Olbermann, aren't good at giving credit where credit is due.

Olbermann is a tool and a moron. And that's just according to his staff.

This is the longest he's ever held onto a job. Poor us.

Hey dude... learn to abide. We LIVE for media flops to get exposed on this site.

The author of the posts on this site was a producer on "When Good Pets Go Bad 2." Not exactly a source.

Correction, last anonymous:

The author of Tabloid Baby, who is the editor of this site, was THE producer (and a writer) of the landmark Fox Television reality special, When Good Pets Go Bad 2 (from excellent Nash Entertainment) back when Olberman was reading sports scores.

It is among his MANY film and television and NEWS credits.

To truly judge the excellence of Pets 2, watch it on AOL Television:

Of course you're right. It's impossible that someone else may have watched television and seen the same thing you saw.

Olbermann can't seem to get over the fact that Oreilly buries him in the ratings week nights from 8-9 PM. He gets so frantic he frothat the mouth. He reminds me of Matthews drooling at the mouth when he hears some smut on a Republican.MSNBC Who needs them.
