Olbermann Responds To Stewart: 'You're Right, I Have Been A Little Over The Top Lately. Point Taken. Sorry' (VIDEO)

HAHAHA...watching Stewart's Olbermann rant is just as funny now as it was when I first saw it, and still as spot on. Olbermann is one of my faves but I cringe each time he goes more progressively over the top because each successive time he does he becomes an equally less effective spokesman for the left.

Damn funny!

I hope Keith really does take this to heart. He very much needs to reconsider his overemotional responses to events, and this includes his jumping-the-gun criticisms of President Obama based on Naderite talking points--which can be as distorted as any teabagger fantasy, and which I believe have been profoundly damaging to this administration.

I'd also like to see more big-picture analysis, rather than hyperfocus on day-to-day petty squabbles in Washington...we really are missing the forest for the trees sometimes. I'm tired of hearing about some idiot member of Congress ginning up teabagger support with lame one-liners...we need to forget about this b.s. posturing and get down to the nuts and bolts of facts vs falsehoods.

Finally, this is probably a total pipe dream, but I would like to see some of today's events put into real context...not the fictional "FDR/LBJ got everything they wanted when they wanted it and never had a misstep!" framing of some parts of the left, and not the insane "socialism!" framing of the wingnuts, but real context.

I liked Olbermann a lot, until he started going off on Hillary Clinton. I thought that was out of line.

And no, I never supported her for president. That isn't the point. Olbermann ceded credibility with those attacks, and credibility isn't something the reality-based community can spare.

So let us hope he really does take this to heart, and reclaims his position as a man who really does speak truth to power.

I sure hope Jon has Keith on his show ASAP. They plus Maddow and Colbert can take much credit for helping Americans see past the unpatriotic BS promulgated by Cheney/BushCo when 'most everyone else was too cowed to do so.

You guys are assuming that Jon Stewart is a progressive. He's more of a centrist, slightly to the left, and he buys into many right-wing tropes. For example, he's a deficit hawk; he's repeatedly demonstrated that he believes that the deficit is more of a danger than high unemployment, he's booked a number of guests who argue this point, and he agrees with them.

He is also extremely reverent about the military, and sucks up to any guest who has a military background.

It is so ironic the Progressive Movement owes its allegiance to MSNBC.

Keith Olbermann bows down at the alter of the 'Daily Show' and asks Jon Stewart for forgiveness, I remember Keith Olbermann slamming Micheal Steele for apologizing to Rush, doesn't that make Olbermann a hypocrite and a suck ass?

Keith Olbermann is such a sad sack and he's show reflects his namesake, he's show is direct towards the 37% of the Democratic Party that call themselves 'Progressive' while 'The Daily Show' can be watched by all Americans regardless of political stance and Stewart is much funnier than Olbermann.

Keith Olbermann is unwatchable--period!

The ratings for Olbermann are in the tank and getting worst because most people are tired of Liberal slanted news, they get enough of it from the alphabet channel news media.

The Progressive Movement and MSNBC are connected at the hip with Obama, as Obama gets less popular so does Progressivism and MSNBC.
