It seems Keith O has struck a nerve over at FNC!
Yesterday Bill O'Reilly, today John Gibson:


"I must say, there's a guy on there who's got this new shtick of calling people the 'worst person in the world'. And I cannot believe that NBC News has a prime time news show on it in which somebody is called the worst person in the world."

More @ link (with Olbermann's reply - I must say, he does pretty much nail him right on the mark :))

1. Ah, the righteous indignation
of the truly insipid hypocrite.

Where's Bernie Goldberg when you need him?

Oh? He's busy under Bill O'Reilly's desk, and then he's got to get back under Gibson's desk?

They then all switch?

I love Musical Asshats.

2. This line killed me:
"We all used to like John greatly, back when he worked in the news business..."

:rofl:

"We all used to like John greatly, back when he worked in the news business, and before he drank the Kool-Aid. But expressing religious hatred and bigotry is enough to get you on the 'Worst' list -- expressing it to sell more copies of your book is something he'll have to "answer" for no matter how many, or which, religions happen to be right or wrong."

You tell em' Keith!

Gibson is on a rampage after Rob Boston handed him his ass on his own show.

9. The best thing about it?
You *know* if Olbermann wasn't a threat, they wouldn't be paying attention to him.

Just the fact that FNC has the attack dogs out pretty much tells us that they know he can take down O'Reilly in the ratings!

:loveya: Keith!

4. Loved this part of his reply:

7. What a hypocrite!! I guess old John has never seen
Fox's Bill O'Reilly Show's 'the most ridiculous item of the day' in which he generally slams some 'liberal' or other. Maybe he should consider the possibility that this is KO's answer to that? Keith has such a great sense of humor.

Wow, those people over there are dimwits!! Dimwits and former convicted and pardoned felons.

8. Gibson has ruined at least one christmas
Anyone catch the customer review by Amy on Amazon?

41 of 47 people found the following review helpful:

My personal experience with John Gibson, December 22, 2005
Reviewer: Amy (Modesto, Ca) - See all my reviews
It is hard for me to review this book objectively, because I knew John Gibson personally 15 years ago. To say the least, it was not a positive experience for me or my family. Knowing what I know, it is the height of irony that John Gibson, a man who caused so much pain for me and my family one Christmas, would write a book defending Christmas.

In 1989, John Gibson worked as a weekend anchorman at the local television station (KCRA channel 3) that my mother worked at in Sacramento, and she would occasionally invite him to have dinner with us (her, my sister, and me). This happened mayber 5 or 6 times, and then when Christmas came, she invited him to have Christmas dinner with us. He arrived drunk.

I remember how he spent our Christmas dinner just railing and yelling about all the people at the TV station he hated, ranting and raving and hitting the table. We ate in silence, hoping he wouldn't get even angrier. After dinner, he wanted to watch TV, and insisted that my 14-year-old sister sit right next to him. After about five minutes with his hands all over her, and hugging her, she managed to get away, and my mother suggested that he go home. He got angry and left, but not before smashing a serving plate made of china that our grandmother had left us. Thankfully, that was the last I saw of him in person.
