Perhaps the Olbyloons would have a happier life if they ordered this: http://www.comeasyouare.com/index.cfm?fa=catalog.Product&ProductId=2188. Lemon doesn't sound like she's ever had one in her life so this might be the ideal Christmas gift for her and her fellow Olbyloons. And hey, maybe even for Olby to give to the women in his life. We hear he doesn't exactly deliver the goods in that department.

Lemon, for your sake, I hope your hot date is with a psychiatrist. Your posts here reveal someone desperately in need of some real psychological help.

You know, you're right about that "Lemon". It's why Olbermann likes 20-year olds.

No wonder you don't have a man in your life Lemon. You obviously hate men. All except your imaginary boyfriend Olbermann. But in case you haven't heard, he's shacked up with a 21-year old girl so I don't think he'll be knocking on your door anytime soon. And you'd scare him if he did. But again, for the record? Olbermann has a history of insulting his coworkers and for being difficult. Acknowledge it, embrace it as well as admitting he's a liberal and I'll go away. And you might want to get some help with your anger issues. You seem very bitter and filled with rage and issues towards men in general and any woman who has a life you secretly want for your own. Not to mention blind and utterly ignorant to what Olbermann is really like. Sad really.

Lemon is an apt moniker for you. You're seething with jealousy of a woman who has a home and a husband and a family and your rage and bitterness is here for all to see. No wonder you like Olbermann so much, you both have sour, rotten dispositions where anyone more successful than you is concerned.

No wonder Olbermann appeals to you, you're all mental midgets. Explain to me how the poster was using "" correctly in their post when referring to Alison. They weren't. You know it. I know it and anyone with half a brain knows it. And you now why they were using it. And your insistence otherwise with your pitiful little links to grammar style manuals show that you're just delusional and can't admit when you've insulted someone, and can't admit when you're wrong and you damn sure can't say you're sorry about anything, much as your hero Olbermann can't. I on the other hand have no difficult whatsoever in telling each and every one of you that you are full of shit and that Olbermann is also a big old air bag.

Here's a fun exercise for those who need proof of the dementia of the Olbermann-faithful fantical: Google the term "Olbermann fan forum" and see what shows up. Read all about these estrogen-challenged middle-aged women and read their explicit sex fantasies starring Olbermann. And that's just for starters. Read their fawning praise as they believe even farts from his corpulent frame sound like music to their ears. Read all about how they think he's the best thing in journalism that is or ever has been. Then go to Olbermannwatch.com and read the truth.

Nice spin there "Emily". Here is the use of the quotations in the post in question: "How sad that someone by the name of "Alison" (etc.) has so much time to criticize Olbermann supporters as well as Olbermann himself of course. "Alison" states: "

So where is the quotion in that sentence exactly pray tell? Now come off your high horse and admit that your fellow Olbyloon poster was not using the parenthesis there to indicate a quote, they were using it to mock the poster. Give it up, you can't make yourselves look good and you can't make Olbermann look good no matter how hard you try and spin it.

I highly suggest interested parties take a trip to the liberal-loving Huffington Post which called his behavior in this interview unprofessional. TVNewser which loves and adores Olbermann also thought it was an insult. So did FTVLive and Inside Cable News. So how is it that only the Olbyloons think it wasn't an insult? Oh, I forgot. You're not great at critical thinking and you're blinded by hero worship.

Readers should know that Olbermann has a long and storied history of insulting his coworkers, which stretches back decades.

And no worries about Olbermann ending up on a beer bottle. He'll be relegated to the junk pile of history as a has-been when he finally ticks MSNBC off as he has every other employer he has ever had. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when, as his employment history so vividly demonstrates.

But that's exactly what the Olbyloon crew is doing here to with the use of "quotes" to question her and ridcule her. Don't wory Alison, it's the Olbyloons themselves who in posting their ridiculous statements here, as they desperately and frantically try to spin this article into something favorable for Olbermann that proves everything you and I and everyone else has said about him to be the truth. His fans are raving, foaming at the mouth lunatics who believe there is some sort of organized conspiracy to "defame" Olbermann, even when the words being said are direct quotations from his own big fat mouth. They can't wrap their mind around the fact that it's totally possible for more than one person to dislike this pompous, egotistical, biased bag of wind just like it's unbelievable to them that O'Reilly gets millions more viewers per night than Olbermann will ever get. But somehow, if anyone criticizes him, why it has to be the SAME person using aliases. I guess because their own little bad of lunatics is so small in number they think that the number of people who dislike Olbermann must be even smaller. Given the ratings numbers, it never occurs to these lunatics that millions of people choose to watch other cable news personalities every single night other than watching Olbermann and that no doubt these people also have internet access and are capable of posting their dislike and opposition and criticisim of Olbermann as we have done here. No, it's got to be a conspiracy. Just look at their desperate insistence that Olbermann wasn't insulting Abrams here as proof of the delusional, alternate-reality they live in. They would be pathetic if they weren't so obviously mentally ill. Maybe Olby can get a group rate with his shrink for him and his crazy fans.

See what I mean?

Seriously you can't make these loons up! And they never disappoint. They will rush to Olbermann's defense as if he was facing a firing squad and they and they alone could save him. Except it's Olbermann himself who is usually pulling the trigger as he did in this interview.

And poster above, did you really think you were "helping" Olby by creating your blog where you reinforce the idea he fucks his fans? With fans like you, the man doesn't need any enemies. But God bless you all for existing because the lot of you are a never ending source of bemusement and bewilderment for me.

And Alison, I wouldn't take the comment about the LOL too seriously. You see, I'm a student of the Olbyloons and these are women in their 40's and 50's who post happy-smiley faces everywhere they go and use icons usually only on seen on "my space". Their mentality approaches, but never quite reaches adolescent levels too. They've been known to rip other fans apart for merely suggesting Olbermann was anything less than perfect. Humorless and full of themselves best describes them, well full of something anyway, just like Olbermann himself. Which brings me to the title of this interview, where the interviewer so aptly describes Olby as being full of hot air, which ought to tell you what their impression was of him after they interviewed him. But no, according to these fools, we're supposed to believe he didn't insult Abrams and he's one hell of a guy. Too bad it's Olbermann's own words here that hang him and it's his fans rampant stupidity, on full display here, that shows them to be what they are too.

I rest my case. The post above is a perfect example of the depths of delusion of the Olbyloons. They think they themselves are famous and that everyone should "know" their names, as if they were as "famous" as they think their idol is. Please people. He couldn't get arrested if he jaywalked across the street. His show trails behind O'Reilly's most nights by some 2 million or more viewers, which is why the Olbyloons are forced to discus his demo ratings in which he only has 50% of O'Reilly's ratings and that's on his GOOD nights! But I have to say I'm very much amused watching the Olbyloons try to spin this Radar interview that Olbermann so obviously bungled in his direction. First there were the claims that he hadn't insulted Abrams. But I guess when even the liberal-leaning, Olby-loving Huffington Post called him an asshole, they had to give that claim up. Now they're trying to claim he denied the Karma thing when he admitted it. And you wonder why we call you loons? It's all here in black and white for everyone to see, from your paranoid-conspiracy theories to you're "we're as famous as he is" delusions of grandeur and of course, the "he didn't insult Abrams" bullshit. Try selling it elsewhere sisters. No one is buying it. Maybe you might be better served if you could get your hero Olbermann to stop giving interviews, maybe then he wouldn't shoot his mouth off and shoot himself in the foot like he did here.

I've made it something of a hobby to keep an eye on the Olbermann-fans or as they are more commonly known, "Olbyloons" (think lunatics). Their favorite claim when Olbermann is criticized is to say that it's all one disgruntled anti-Olbermann type posing as many different people all over the internet. You see, it's simply beyond their comprehension that so many people could so thoroughly dislike him. They seem to overlook the fact that on any given night, O'Reilly has about 2 million more viewers than Olbermann will ever have, yet they seem to think that if anyone says anything negative about Olbermann, it must be part of some conspiracy. Hell, you can see their logic on full display here-they don't think that Olbermann was insulting Abrams when every media blog on the internet most certainly thought so, even the left-leaning Huffington Post! I guess it's never occured to them that it's because of interviews just like this one that Olbermann is so thoroughly and roundly despised, and that's just by his coworkers.

Only the most fervent of the obsessed Olbermann fantical fans could read this interview and come away with the conclusion he wasn't a) insulting Abrams and b) didn't totally admit to the Karma thing. But welcome to the world of the Olbyloons where conspiracy theories run rampant and common sense is in all too short supply. No wonder they're taken in by him. They're gulliable, not intelligent in the least, and not terribly discerning or they wouldn't be mistaking his Special Comments for anything other than what they are, ratings gimmicks, the same things he swears he doesn't do or would never do to get ratings. Seriously, at some point don't you just get totally sick and tired of having to invent excuses for him to explain away his asshole behaviors? Isn't it exhausting having to try and interpret and spin what you think he means even when you know he meant exactly what he said but you're afraid someone will figure out he's really an egotistical, no-talented asshole who despite his protests to the contrary absolutely has a liberal bias? Isn't it tiring and rather disappointing to see him repeating his bad behaviors for the entire world to see and then knowing you're going to have to go around the internet and clean up behind him? I don't know, he seems like a lot of work for me and what's your payout exactly? what's he doing for you--all 3 of you?

Here's another industry blog that most certainly also viewed Olbermann's remarks as being negative towards Abrams. FTVLive.com:

"Hey Dan Abrams...Thanks for nothing.
It looks like Keith Olbermann wants all the credit for his "ratings success." He sat down with Radar and he wants to you know that Dan Abrams has had nothing to do with his show.

RADAR: Dan Abrams said recently that your program "could become a model for the newscast of the future." Are you a role model?

KEITH OLBERMANN: I don't know what Dan has to do with it frankly. We've never had a conversation about the direction of the show.

But Olbermann doesn't stop there.

Radar: He's actually the—

Olbermann: The general manager [of MSNBC], right, but we rarely interact. As far as I know he works on dayside programming. Phil Griffin runs the network. He is the vice president of NBC [News] and my original producer in television.

Radar: What the hell is Abrams doing giving quotes about you to everyone from the Washington Post to the LA Times, then?

Olbermann: You got me. No, really, it's an awfully tough tightrope to walk here, and you get people who are newscasters who can't do any of the humor. And then there are people who are humorists who can't do any of the news. This is a problem. I've never had a problem going from one to the other. For me it's the skill that I've always brought to the table. I did it at SportsCenter. First, I did it for MSNBC. And, frankly, I did it for college radio. The idea is: Rarely do you go an entire hour when life is one tone, so why should you do an entire newscast that, in an hour of time, is all the same? There are occasions, like 9/11, when, yes, it is all one tone until further notice. But it's not like that a lot, thank goodness.

Gee Keith --- Way to take one for the team...

Of course if Olbermann's ratings start to tank, you can bet that Abrams will get all the credit."

That makes FTV, Inside Cable News, Eat the Press at Huffington Post, Gawker, Jossip, and TVNewser, industry blogs or blogs with industry connections who all believe he was insulting Abrams.

Oh, and why do I continue to watch Olbermann? Because it's a train wreck, why else?
