despite his freakishly large hands and feet, his ex claims KO is hung like a hamster.

It’s been too quiet here for the past few days, what’s up with that? Oh well, got to go out and recruit some more friends to switch over to democrats to vote in Indiana and Kentucky soon. We need to make sure that Hillary gets as many votes as possible. Operation Chaos is in full swing.

Hey, Groucho Marx look alike loses at what ever he has undertaken. I will say he’s amusing because, he does nothing but create negative story lines. Even when he try’s a positive story it comes off negative. I’m 50 and don’t need a diaper yet! I can’t wait though. I won’t have to get up to go anymore. I can just keep mowing my lawn and pooping at the same time. Multi-Tasking.heheheheh

Joe: Fox news is obviously the best cable news station. They are fair and have many left wing hosts (Geraldo, Greta, Colmes etc.) and guests. The main thing that upsets me about your comment is that you call Spongebob brainless……..Have you actually watched the show. It’s very smart and clever for a cartoon.

good name calling Waterman. It reminded me of middle school. you could at least be witty or try to find specific instances where I’m wrong like I’ve done in your case on many occasions. I think you should calm down. you sound mad, one might even say….bitter.

btw I never said the right was spreading fear, I said Fox News was(I guess you just admitted they’re one in the same and “fair and balanced” is comical at best) and I’m pretty sure they’re not running for president.

By the way Joe, you mentioned earlier in a post that the right was spreading fear, well here is a quote from todays news from your side of the isle: Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked Pearl Harbor, the Berlin Wall and Osama bin Laden as she reached for a victory in Pennsylvania’s Democratic presidential primary to recharge her comeback effort. Good try Joe, but no cigar, you are a hypocrite as are most leftists of your type.

Joe, when are you going to stop defending your friends over at pmsnbc? Everyone knows that to get on that network, all you have to have is credentials of a person who rides a short bus and licks the windows. Put Keith Slobberman up against SpongeBob and I bet SpongeBob wins. What’s the difference, oh yeah, Socialists and liberals like you are just plain BRAINLESS. Joe, what are you even doing here, I thought you were an athiest? The majority of us here believe in GOD an Country.

uhmmm WVU- MSNBC is not the worst rated network, all you have to do is look at link right above KO vs. BO…genius. As for Fox News always dominating the charts. It makes sense. Look around at the rest of this website. Top rated cable shows- Sponge Bob, Pro Wrestling, Fox News…what’s the difference? brainless

Carolynn, i believe WVU#1 stands for west virginia University or something like that cause she was talking about a school project. So i bet she doesn’t fall into the over 55 demographic.

And to comment about the numbers, KO will never win over BOR cause all he does is hate up on him usually for no good reason and face it, no one likes watching a sore loser.

Hey Whocares: Apparently you care enough to drop a comment. Worthless as it was. And to answer your question, advertisers care. They want to sell product and to do that they want to reach as many folks in their target group as possible, i.e., bang for the commercial buck. I bet you fall into that “over 55″ demographic Oreilly meets, so I’m guessing you’re in the market for adult diapers right about now. And KO? His audience is buying anti-depressants.

Having watched both shows, I have to ask: Who gives a flying fart about their “rivalry” or “demographic?” They’re BOTH overblown, hate-filled windbags. Who gets their NEWS from these guys, anyway? Unbelievable.

Larry – I never said they were playing to “different audiences”. Just that no matter how you look at it in the grand scheme of things both of their audiences are small.

I don’t watch KO so I don’t know why he “spends excess energy blasting FOX and BOR”. Maybe it gets him street cred from his liberal friends? (Hope this winky thing works since there is no editing posts here.

Keith Olbermann never apologized for his tribute to Hilter (nazi salute) and forever lost the moral high ground. I think he is a closet racist hiding behind a Groucho Marks mask. AND If you find yourself watching and agreeing with him you can consider your self a racist, too. Same if you supported a David Duke or other racist leader.

Apparently, KO is trying for the same audience as BOR. Where am I wrong ?

Doug – wasn’t really talking about the clip. I was talking about the entire two hour radio show. I would have to agree to disagree about your interpretation of his remarks.

I’m not sure enough people watch either TV program for it to really make a difference though. (Just something for political and news junkies to chew over).

WVU#1 – there’s no reason for KO to move to another hour. He and BOR are targeting different audiences and each are succeeding. Because KO is the highest rated program on MSNBC, it’s unlikely another timeslot would boost the ratings. He’s been doing well with his slow climb. And TDS doesn’t do any better in the ratings than KO, anyway. It just has a younger audience.

And Polly, yes, I watched the clip. In context. Profoundly, profoundly foot-in-mouth. There really is no mistaking what BOR said, although I did watch his show afterward to see him try to weasel out of it. Like I said, I’ve watched both shows and the two really aren’t any different from each other other than their stance on the political spectrum. They’re both loud, brash and at times idiotic.

As for Rhodes, she got the boot, and deservedly so. Why kick somebody who’s already been punished?

Need help for media research for journalism class: after watching both shows over several nights it looks to me like Olbermann and O’reilly target different audiences, so I don’t really understand the rivalry. And, by the stats above, it’s not much of a rivalry. Mr. O’Reilly dominates. So it begs the question-why doesn’t Mr. Olbermann move to a different hour? Why is he going head-to-head with him? Everyone I know watches the Daily Show and our parents watch Fox news, leaving Mr. Olbermann in ratings no-mans land. I would think that MSNBC would have given up with Mr. Olbermann by now and be looking for the next Letterman or John Stewart??? Or is there something I’m missing? Can you still make ad revenue with last place ratings?

Kieth tried to beat the hell out of BOR over his remarks at that Harlam Restaurant. BUT
Randy Rhodes’ vulgar rants abour Hillary & Ferraroin San Francisco were ignored by KO on “Countdown”. If someone from FOX or CNN had
maid the exact same comments at the same club in San Francisico, KO would have made endless rants and references to it. Keith – there is a little stink of hyprocracy, double standards, selective contrived rage and even cowardice here!
