Hello Everyone:
Here is the highly insulting Countdown video link from Monday, April 7 where Keith Olbermann mocked Hillary Clinton for staying in the primary race by showing the scene of Madeline Kahn being dragged out of a wedding by force in the 1970's movie “What‘s Up, Doc?” and where his guest Christian Finnegan also mocked Hillary for staying in the primary race by saying "She is not go out until she‘s dragged under water while speaking in tongues:"

'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' for Monday, April 7
Read the transcript to the Monday show
Guests: Dana Milbank, Richard Wolffe
KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: "When the essence of your presidential campaign, when the fact of it becomes a punch line, that campaign may have already jumped the shark or it may in fact have already ended. Remember Mike Huckabee‘s appearance as the guest who wouldn‘t leave on “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live” 11 days before he finally officially called it quits? Our number one story on the COUNTDOWN, Governor Huckabee, meet Senator Clinton, Saturday night on “Saturday Night Live...”
OLBERMANN: Let‘s bring in comedian Christian Finnegan. Also a regular contributor to VH1‘s “Best Week Ever.” Christian, good evening.
CHRISTIAN FINNEGAN, COMEDIAN: Hola, Keith.
OLBERMANN: That psych, I‘m staying in until after the inauguration, is that more than just satire? Is that somebody slipping a statement past us via the means of humor.
FINNEGAN: It is only satire if you exaggerate the facts rather than just state them. Hillary is going to be like Max Cady (ph) in “Cape Fear.” She is not go out until she‘s dragged under water while speaking in tongues.
OLBERMANN: Speaking of that, that bit Saturday night made me think of the film from the ‘70s, Peter Bogdanovich‘s movie “What‘s Up, Doc?” Barbra Streisand, Ryan O‘Neal and the late, great Madeline Kahn as O‘Neal‘s fiancee who would not leave. It‘s a short seen, let me play it and think of it in the context of this campaign and I have a question.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Tell them who I am!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
OLBERMANN: Are we at that point yet? Is the next “SNL” skit going to be about Hillary Clinton‘s heel marks on the polished wood floor?
FINNEGAN: I actually think the comedy shows are still pulling punches slightly on Hillary because they are afraid they will have to pretend we always loved her in the first place. It‘s like when your brother separates with his wife and you let him know what you really thought of her and they get back together. It makes for an awkward Thanksgiving.
OLBERMANN: But you know the media is in the tank for Senator Obama against Senator Clinton. Wasn‘t that established by a previous session of “Saturday Night Live?” Is the wielding of influence over there in Lorne Michaels shop not registering around the country.
FINNEGAN: They are hedging their bets. Literally until Obama has his hand on the Bible swearing in, nobody is going to come out and really say what they think about Hillary. Which is completely positive by the way.
OLBERMANN: Of course it is. I‘m going to be the only one going to Gitmo..."
Keith Olbermann also used much of his Monday program to thoroughly trash Hillary which these Countdown videos will show:
April 7: Battle for the delegates (Chuck Todd interview)

April 7: Clinton's Penn problem (Richard Wolffe interview)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/24002654#24002654 (06:55)
Keith Olbermann in my opinion is very clearly a biased media apologist for Barack Obama, he has lost all of the respect that I once had for him, and he is just a radical version of Rush Limbaugh right now as far as I am concerned:

Here is specific information about how you can contact MSNBC officials and Keith Olbermann's show director Alana Russo if you would like to hold them accountable and let them know what you think about this stupid Rush Limbaugh-like hit job video on Hillary:

Here is where I refuted Keith Olbermann's premise that Hillary should drop out of the primary race:

Even when this primary is over and regardless of who wins, I will NEVER respect Keith Olbermann ever again because of all the anti-Hillary and pro-Obama media bias crap that he has pulled!
Please forward this information on so that more Democratic primary voters and superdelegates will understand that Keith Olbermann is NOT credible and that he obviously has a biased aganda when he constantly trashes and mocks Hillary the way that he does!

Listen to Gen. Wes Clark fight for Dems on Sean Hannity's radio program: An excellent example for all of us to follow and what we all need to be doing to help fight back against extreme right wing Neocon smear propaganda!
that he was being nice to Hillary!?! God help us! And if he, KO, Dyson, and Wright want to get a look at Max Cady, they can just glance in their mirrors! They appear to be, to various degrees, as hateful, racist, and/or misogynistic as the villain himself! And let me especially say to KO: worst person in the world!!
up their's.
Ain't gonna happen. Useless drivel comes from their mouths anymore. Too much time on their hands.
KO lost me way back when Hillary spoke in Dover, NH...with Wes right there on the stage with her....about the terrorist threats we face. KO said she was playing the fear card just like Karl Rover. That was the end of him here. I could see where he was headed then....now he's gone completely off the rails.
Have more than had my fill of Hillary bashers. Who needs it? Listening to them is non-productive. Pfffttttt.
(not shooting the messenger, Mitch ;)
expose Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, and other biased media pundits like them because more Democratic primary voters and superdelegates have to be made aware of the things that we already know about them!
It is this kind of rapid response that I think will help to expose them and hold them as accountable as possible for their highly unprofessional behavior as media pundits in my opinion!
Mitch. I've always appreciated your posts and what you're trying to do.....even if I don't always say so.
I was just venting a little. :)
He's becoming the O'Reilly of the left.
being the Rush Limbaugh of the far radical left!
Keith Olbermann has lost all of the credibility that I thought he once had, he has lost all of my respect, and his attacks on Hillary are on the same stupid and comedic level of Limbaugh's in my opinion!
I do not "watch" Countdown anymore, I monitor it (along with Hardball) in the exact same way that I would monitor and expose Rush Limbaugh and others like him in the extreme right wing media!
KO has certainly lost any credibility with me. I quit watching quite a while ago, along with most other MSNBC programs.
when he asked "But when is he (Obama) going to bring this fight to an end?"

'Hardball with Chris Matthews' for Monday, April 7
Read the transcript to the Monday show
Guests: Pete Hegseth, Jon Soltz, Michael Eric Dyson; Linda Douglass; Roger Simon; John Harwood
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: "Let me ask you about Obama. Do you think Obama has got it in him to win this Pennsylvania primary? Or is he just going to do this Fred Astaire thing he does now? Which is not quite go for it. It‘s finesse, its charm, it‘s elegant. But when is he going to bring this fight to an end?
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, GEORGETOWN U. PROFESSOR: Well, here‘s the thing. He‘s in a tough position, because if he brings it to—if he fights like he wants to bring it to an end, then he would like he‘s attacking Hillary Clinton and he gives her more ammunition.
If he stays back and says you, “Look—look, you stay in the race as long as you want. You make your choices. Let the voters speak.” He picked up another delegate. He‘s delegating authority. We hope it works, because he‘s in a no-win position that regard.
LINDA DOUGLASS, “NATIONAL JOURNAL”: And I just said that I think he‘s going to be a much stronger candidate if he can avoid doing that. Look at the weeks when she was going after him for Reverend Wright, and he was going after her for the allegations that she‘d inflated her resume and said that she‘d brought peace to Northern Ireland. And some in his campaign people said that was vastly overstated.
Their numbers start to drop in comparison to John McCain as they began to attack each other. So if he can somehow win this without having to do that, that‘s going to make him a better candidate...
ROGER SIMON, POLITICO: It kills me when campaigns who have no respect whatsoever for the press make mistakes that a rookie reporter wouldn‘t make. She has a vast staff. She couldn‘t say to somebody, “Spend an hour and check out this story.” That was told to me anecdotally by a deputy sheriff.
This was a totally avoidable mistake which she put in her stump speech and used three or four times a day.
MATTHEWS: Right..."
