We have read this elitist New Yorker profile of your annoying loudmouth boyfriend Keith Olbermann and, like most profiles of MSNBC personalities, it confirms everything you learned about current MSNBC dynamics during the first five minutes of its Iowa caucus coverage. MORE »

Tonight we have the 750th and 751st primaries in the 2008 Democratic nominating contest, in Kentucky and Oregon. This means we’ll probably be watching MSNBC for a good portion of the night because (a) Chris Matthews is such a stitch and (b) Chuck Todd, he so dreamy! Hillary will likely be declared the winner of Kentucky as soon as polls close, we’ll get an earful of mindless chatter about Obama’s continuing problems courting Bitters, Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow and Eugene Robinson will note that Obama’s likely victory in Oregon will neutralize Hillary’s Kentucky delegate pickups, Tim Russert will declare that we have just reached some historical turning point in Math, Matthews will pull down his pants, Nora O’Donnell will be shown from the front only because she is pregnant, Dan Abrams will appear at 1 a.m. with no tie on, the end. Most importantly, Pat Buchanan will spasm uncontrollably all night long — he’s been doing it more and more recently — over Obama’s fatal flaws. Why, exactly, has Pat been even more of a nut recently on the teevee? It’s simple enough: Barack Obama is threatening to undo his life’s work. MORE »

Keith Olbermann’s “Special Comment” about Hillary Clinton last night was nine minutes long, or so, and deranged. Had it been less than three minutes, it might have been vaguely effective. Fortunately, we’ve distilled the thing into a highlight reel in this video, so you might be able to sleep tonight. And the Clinton campaign responded today, too: “We obviously, vigorously disagree with that characterization, although many of us remain fans of Keith and enjoy watching the show on nights other than last night,” said communications director Howard Wolfson.

We are four minutes through this video of MSNBC host Keith Olbermann’s special “Special Comment” about Hillary Clinton. It’s the first time he has made a “Special Comment” about a Democrat. It is a nine-minute video. He is the angriest person in the galaxy. SOS! [YouTube]

Since dropping out of the presidential race, Bill Richardson has joined the Wobblies and hit the road with his bindle and harmonica. See him talking through his fashionable hobo beard, after the jump! MORE »

*MSNBC ADMITS IT WATCHES FOX:* On MSNBC, some pretty reporter was just talking from McCain’s headquarters, and ESPN host Keith Olbermann said something about how they just announced a McCain win, and pretty reporter said “Well, we had some lead time from our friends at Fox.” And now I’m done for the night.

Ken’s going to listen to douchebag handlers like Mark Penn and Joe Trippi say why their candidate will be the new Hitler (good aspects only) for America in the Spin Cave, so I’ll flip around between the networks and watch teevee hosts spew dingleberry at high velocities. MORE »

First Family Guy (Osama outtake bonus!), now The Simpsons. WTF? Is Keith Olbermann animation’s answer to Brian Williams? If so, huzzah! We’ll gladly trade Olbermann’s icy snark and majestic eyebrows for Williams’ faux sarcasm and sickly tan.
