Tweets of The Day
@InsideCableNews How stupid is this Fox Poodle at Johnny Dollar? The mismatch was intentional, and got the appropriate laugh.
In response to this from me…
@johnnydollar01 Awww…comeon. So he got his uber producers confused. If that’s the best you can do today on @KeithOlbermann, give it up..
Which itself was a response to this from J$…
Links: Parker/Spitz an instant ratings disaster. @KeithOlbermann thinks Spielberg did Star Wars. Rick Sanchez flashback http://bit.ly/cdPUYQ
Which is because of this article…

Whoa. Better put your big boy pants on now, Spud. Impressed, I am.
And in the apparently likely event that KO is reading this..Dude, there’s isn’t a shred of evidence to support that you were joking. What would be funny about messing up the director’s name for your dad? Face it..uou mixed up their names ’cause they both worked on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

^ Geez, I’m Typo Man today.

I’m with Joe on this and J$ must be over the moon to actually get call out from KO. Probably his highlight of the year.
October 5, 2010 at 4:02 pm
It’s only the second Olby attack on me, but I treasure it none the less.

I’m annoyed. J$ tweeted it an hour after I brought it up here, and KO didn’t even pick on me. That’s just rude.

^ I guess your not a Fox poodle Joe. KO does have a way with words doesn’t he.

I guess you’re not a Fox poodle Joe.
I think I can live with that..

This’ll make you feel good, Joe.
KO at his best:
“In short, in Joe Remi we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the commentators at ICN are responding to him.”
October 5, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Joe, if you like, I’ll tweet it again and cite your comment so Olby will know who to give the credit to. Maybe we could both be attacked in one day!
October 5, 2010 at 4:33 pm
^ Just make sure I get proper credit as an MSNBC Poodle.
October 5, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Good stuff, Steve.
October 5, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Okay… so here’s the tough question of the day:
“Thinner skin- Olbermann, Sanchez, or Obama?”

^Bill O’Rielly is translucent.
October 5, 2010 at 7:48 pm
^ I don’t recall that being an option… or accurate.
So of the choices…
October 5, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Olby & Obama are 1 and 1A.
October 5, 2010 at 8:27 pm
– ^Bill O’Rielly is translucent. –
He used to be, on a nightly basis, and I’d love to know what changed. He no longer (or seldom) quotes bloggers or columnists or any other pinhead that says something critical of him. It’s a nice change.
October 5, 2010 at 8:52 pm
To answer my own question:
1) Olbermann
2) Obama
3) Sanchez
Rick is obviously thin skinned, but more importantly, he sees everything through a prism of race. So when Stewart poked fun at him, he saw it as a “race” issue, when clearly it wasn’t. And while that’s pretty thin skin, he wasn’t afraid to mix it up on occasion with people who disagreed with him… and that takes a little thickness.
Obama is thin skinned by so obviously disliking criticism from the right, from the average citizen, and especially from those who at on time supported him. He rarely puts himself in a forum where he’ll be really criticized, and has his “associates” attack those who do criticize as racists, stupid, insane, and so on. But as President, there’s only so much he can do to effectively prevent criticism, and at the end of the day (IMO), he thinks he’s so great, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.
KO wins the title because he’ll go after anyone and everyone who disagrees with him. We all know he’s too afraid (or at the very least, unwilling) to debate anyone who might disagree with him. He’s gone after right-wingers, non-partisans, and even those who generally support him, simply because they dared to disagree. We also know how short tempered he is when it comes to people on his own network criticizing him, or even suggesting he’s anything other than Mr. Wonderful. Nobody else in cable news (no, not even O’Reilly) can say they’ve effectively silenced a co-worker for putting forth a passing statement critical of their style.
So, KO is the champ in the thin-skin category.

“To answer my own question:”
You might as well as it’s such a ‘fair and balanced’ one.
October 6, 2010 at 8:46 am
^ If your definition of “fair and balanced” is “inputting the people I want to perpetually complain about,” then no… it wasn’t. It WAS however relevant in regards to recent events (Sanchez’s firing, KO’s tweet, and the President). But, if all you can do is talk about the eeeevil Beck, the eeeevil O’Reilly, and the eeevil Republicans… than give it a few minutes, I’m sure you get back on the horse soon enough.
