L.A. TIMES TEEVEE LISTINGS COPY EDITOR TO BE ‘WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD’ EVERY NIGHT FOR THE NEXT YEAR: A correction from the print edition of today’s Los Angeles Times: “FOR THE RECORD: TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday’s Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV’s ‘Jackass’ show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC’s ‘Countdown With Keith Olbermann’ should have been listed.” THIS ES OUTRAGE! [LA Times]
Hey, that “tips@wonkette” thing really works!
I like that time Olbermann farted through a tube into his own helmet.
Well, with Glenn Beck on “vacation,” the obvious choice was on…
american mutt: Smell the outrage!
Why are you insulting Olberman’s dead mother again?
The copy editor’s excuse is that his mother died, last May.
McDuff: ya think so? Then where is my Mark Sanford story- almost 4 PM on a Friday and no weekend update on Sparkin Mark???
Andrew Malcolm is such a scamp. He used to be Laura Bush’s hairdresser, FYI.
So Peggy Noonan is starring on “Jackass”? Or am I getting my posts mixed up again?
How would you tell the difference?
finallyhappy: How’s this?:
Columbia, SC, August 21, 2009—(AP) Jenny Sanford is in custody tonight after a three-hour shooting spree at the Governor’s Mansion this afternoon. She was captured at the airport, where she had attempted to board an aircraft bound for Atlanta and thence for Buenos Aires, according to a TSA spokesman. “The Glock in her bag lit up the metal detector like a slot machine,” Kip Hawley said.
Countdown with Johnny Knoxville has its appeal.
Is that when KO staples his ball-sack to his thigh? ‘Cause yay ratings!
Olbermann is like the guy ahead of you ordering at Wendy’s who makes mean spirited comments about the inept staff while sort of looking at you to laugh along at his abuse and leaving you stuck between insulting the people who are about to prepare your food and angering the extremely loud, gigantic man.
Jackass has its moments too
american mutt: I liked it when the alligators clamped to his nipples made “BPITW”
L.A. Times correction continues: “What we meant to say is that Keith Olberman is a big, fat idiot.”
Jackass is an unfair characterization. I think of Keith as a mostly lovable but occasionally hypocritical theatrically indignant windbag.
They’re giving that editor a lot of credit by adding “MTV’s show”.
V572625694: Well, I was just hoping for “Mark Sanford has resigned- even though he thinks he did nothing wrong because Tom Coburn and David Vitters said so”
Finally, the L.A. Times has done some accurate reportage! PULITZERS ALL AROUND!!!!
Some day you horrible people (see Atkinson, Kristin) will learn not to laugh at everything. Until then you’ll remain beneath contempt.
SayItWithWookies: Yeah, truth be told I am a huge fan and grateful there are at least 3 hours, among the many hundreds of hours of hateful, lying right-wing blather, of left-of-center TV thanks to MSNBC.
hobospacejunkie: As long as Contempt is the named of one of Vitters whores, I’m good with that.
finallyhappy: Not quite as good, but there’s this, and it’s real:

Does Vitter Twitter?
They made the same mistake with swapping Maddow with reruns of Ugly Betty.
finallyhappy: Sparkin Mark will spend the weekend stalking his children’s lemonade stand in yet another lame effort to reconcile with the family who wishes he would die.
Another black athelete goes to jail. This is great news for….KEN LAYNE!!!

Where’s the KFC sandwich made of two jackasses with a bacon in the middle?!
I was promised a big-sandwich commercial!
This is nothing compared to their listing for O’Reilly’s show as “That Show with a Guy with a Big Sparkling Dildo Up His Ass.”
What was listed instead of “Jackass” on the MTV line-up? “Fox & Friends”?
Should we start worrying about our prince? Wee, Wee’d Up? As in bedwetting? Voodoo Ouija Board reference? Ginned up? Dunno?

hobospacejunkie: Whenever I walk into Twitter all the cool people stop talking and thumbing then point at me then burst out laughing and yell “Wonkette is the laughing stock of this place!”
It has to have been an honest mistake. Republicans aren’t that clever, and I can’t imagine a liberal would have used that zinger against a somewhat obnoxious Keith Olbermann whilst truly repugnant individuals like O’Reilly, Hannity, and Beck go unmolested (since childhood).
V572625694: sorry, but we pre=empt this report to tell you that they have changed the date that they will finally put Michael Jackson’s rotting corpse into the ground. For around the clock, talking head coverage and analysis of this event, stay tuned! In-depth coverage of how a corpse rots will accompany this story. Those of you with Smell-a-vision, please hold your nose, unless of course like Michael Jackson, you lost yours.
LEAVE KEITH ALONE!!!1111!!!
Min: Well played. That’s an extra sausage for you, old chap!
Like many in here, Keith Obermench reminds me of Edward R. Murrow.
That is, if Edward R. Murrow had lived out of a shopping cart that he pushed around, while swatting at imaginary flies, ranting at the top of his lungs about how the “Junior Senator from Wisconsin was controlling [his] brain by microwaves . . . . ”
Have you no decency, sir? At long last, have you no decency?
Gee I had heard the Times was run by right wing loons, I guess this confirms that rumor. Too bad there isn’t a show on called Right Wing Douche Nozzle, to confuse with Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, or Lou Dobbs. How about In Treatment for Glenn Beck as he is off this week.
hobospacejunkie: Yeah - I agree. While he may be a theatrical indignant windbag at times, at least he has the decency to get indignant about important things.
hobospacejunkie: thebeatgoeson: Oh sure — he’s our theatrically indignant windbag by all means — but we shouldn’t have to put up with that just for show. To me, you don’t advertise your integrity if you don’t have it. And Olbermann was told not to show the Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer smackdown, and he complied. If you watched Olbermann for your news, you never would’ve known it happened.
And I’m saying if you set that bar for decency for others, you must clear the same bar. Keith has shilled plenty. He has absolutely no business berating others for whoring themselves out. He does it. I do it. We all do it. I’d love it if he was above reproach — but until he lives by the standard he sets for others, he should just relax.
Should have just lisred it every hour, marathon style, on Fox, I think.
Maybe Olbermann’s pathetic little teenage fanclub would like to remember (fat chance) that he made one of his “Special Comments” a while back wherein he accused Obama and AG Holder of Nazi-like tactics because they choose to focus on building a real prosecution of Cheney’s use of torture rather than re-creating the Keystone Kops and calling out the paddy wagons to incarcerate low-level CIA workers. Olbermann’s big, sweaty, fake-outraged face was right up there screeching “Nuremburg!” Of course, he didn’t put this “special” comment on in the usual final segment because there was something much more important that night — a tribute to John Madden. Ooh. He and Rush and Glenn Beck are all the same person, quick with those big Nazi references to whip up the morons.
Har Har <>
Isn’t this an insult to jackasses around the world? They always do hard useful work, whereas I doubt Olbermann has ever been useful or done any work.
V572625694: Shoulda gone for the plastic gun, invisible to x-ray. Either that or flown to Paraguay (where you can buy anything) and carried across the bridge to Argentina (no customs in Paraguay).
SayItWithWookies: Also, jackasses are by definition male; Olbermann looks like a eunuch.
hobospacejunkie: You don’t have to watch TV.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Is that one of those live-sex things where a human female has sex with a equid male? I didn’t know the WSJ was that entertaining!
