Incredibly, his runner up would have been mine, too:
Bathtub boy should really be thanking O’Reilly for going so easy on Obama for the past year and a half. You see, O’Reilly has a really slow learning curve. For instance, he only recently discovered that ACORN is a corrupt organization. He’ll eventually figure out that Obama’s corrupt, too, but he won’t apologize for calling people like me, haters, for trying to bring that to peoples’ attention.
Anyway, it’s funny how Overbite mocks both Beck and O’Reilly, who happen to be shellacking him in the ratings. By funny, I mean sad pathetic:

For a palette cleanser, courtesy of Olbermann watch, I offer you Mark Levin, reacting to another of round of Olbermann’s inanities:
“Watching Overbite is like having poison ivy on your genitalia”.
UPDATE:
Uh oh. It looks like O’Reilly is gunning for that top spot on Olbermann’s list;
Bombshell!… Bill O’Reilly Announces Obamacare is Unconstitutional (Video)
UPDATE II:
Another bombshell! Olbermann announces that his is the highest rated prime time cable news show, oh yes, you heard me right:
KEITH OLBERMANN: I hate to intrude with the facts but ours is the highest rated cable news program viewers 35 and younger and the highest rated cable news program for all viewers not on Fixed News. And since Fixed News has since now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tin foil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racists it is not a news organization making this show the highest rated cable news program, period.

Listening to Keef ramble on with his faux concern for the Constitution and the number of Americans who have died at the hands of terrorists is an unshakable twilight zone moment. The only corresponding event I can think of in terms of weirdness would be the Pope advocating for abortion as a legitimate women’s rights issue.

“Watching Overbite is like having poison ivy on your genitalia”.
That made me spit out my drink.

That’s why he’s called, “The Great One”.
August, 25, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Love “The Great One”–he’s got the balls that O’Reilly seemed to have lost somewhere, sometime.
This summer my husband and I went did an unscientific surveys at family reunions (I have 40 cousins on one side of my family). We were all over the liberal Northeast looking for supporters for this health ‘program’ (it won’t be ‘care’ so I refuse to call it such). From the youngest left-leaning, unemployed Obama-voter to the Vietnam vet on US disability, only one person supported it. (That one was my own father, a straight-ticket Democrat, who thinks that intelligence is equivalent to wisdom.) We couldn’t find a heathen, agnostic or believer who wanted it–and most people we talked to were registered Dems!
August, 25, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Wow…that’s encouraging. If the Dems still try to ram this thing through in the face of all this opposition, they are going to see a voter uprising like they’ve never seen before.
If the thing goes down in flames, Obama’s going to have a hell of a time with the rest of his monstrosities which are waiting in the wings. Believe it or not, it actually gets worse.

Olbermann really asks who is saying this bill will bankrupt the nation?
Seriously?
Is he kidding?
Aside from all of the people out here in “flyover country” who have *COMMON SENSE*, the CBO has some pretty grim numbers for this program.
Jeebus Pete!
How can anyone watch this tool for more than five minutes?
Oh, that’s right… nobody can.
At least according to his ratings. RIP, Keefie!

He’s actually MSNBC’s biggest success story.
August, 25, 2009 at 11:24 pm
“He’s actually MSNBC’s biggest success story.”
Well… that’s just sad.
August, 25, 2009 at 11:28 pm
LOL. I just noticed, Nancy Grace actually has higher ratings than Olbermann.

Indeed you do. This blog deserves the best!
Mark L is a hoot, always funny and on point. And I watch the moldymann clip for the context. ewww.
Gotta go bathe now.

Oh. Is that what “nader paul kucinich gravel” is?
I guess we’ve started to set the bar pretty low here. This one couldn’t manage to regurgitate complete coherent DNC talking points, so I figured it was either a small child playing on Mommie and Daddy’s computer, or a test of the Axlerod spambots.
My bad.
August, 26, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Just curious where you got the ratings for the news shows. That could be helpful, but I have never seen them expressed in that way before. Are they Nielson? Never seen the numbers displayed that way before?

Olberman: It is almost sad that he can say, with a straight face, that he is winning the ratings! O’Reilly beats everyone; Beck has obliterated everyone this week with his special programs on Obama. It has been great; wish it would last longer. It was also pointed out that one of Fox day-time shows (2 hours long) beats most of MSNB’s ratings, as well as CNN’s…primetime!!!
