Meet The Obsessed

Posted by: admin

Tim Russert’s body has not even had a chance to begin decomposing, before anchor-douchebags Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann began vying for his job as host of “Meet the Press.” Proving yet again that these mindless talking heads are tactless, the New York Post has uncovered the following:

According to our spy, “Chris, with his loud voice, was going over a pitch for Tim’s job. He was saying, ‘You know, Tim’s thing was this, and my thing is that.’ It was unbelievably tacky.”

Tacky indeed… and Keith, what do you have to say?

Meanwhile, Matthews’ MSNBC cable cohort Olbermann, who was also at the memorial, is “threatening to quit if he isn’t installed as Russert’s replacement,” another insider said. “I know, it sounds ludicrous, but, then, Keith Olbermann is ludicrous.”

Tacky. Ludicrous. Ridiculous. Now, talking heads… do what you do best and lie to get your way out of this:

Matthews told Page Six that the man he was with was real-estate developer Bob Monahan and that they were talking about a speech Matthews will give soon to a group of mayors in Gettysburg, Pa.
“We started fighting about it. He wanted me to talk about block grants. I want to give my general political speech,” Matthews said. “I swear to God that’s what happened.”

<sarcasm>Well, Chris, I believe you.</sarcasm> Especially that part about “I swear to God.” You sound just like a little kid caught throwing sand in the sandbox. Keith Olbermann took his lie one step further by also attacking the source:

[He] charged that the reporter had “made up a story about Chris Matthews and me seeking to succeed our friend, the late Tim Russert. Even as a work of fiction, it was pretty damn weak. They had Chris lobbying for the job at the reception after Tim’s memorial service, which not only isn’t true, but which only somebody working for Rupert Murdoch would be classless and self-destructive enough to do.

“Her hallucination had me threatening to quit if I didn’t get the job, which not only isn’t true but . . . does not account for the fact that I am not qualified for Tim Russert’s job.”

Not qualified? Well, I’m impressed. That seems to be the truest statement you’ve ever made in your career as a broadcast journalist. In any event, it is patently obvious that the likes of Matthews and Olbermann are incapable of telling the truth.  If you guys can’t maintain a viewership on your own paltry shows, how can you expect to dominate another venue? Remember guys, Heath Ledger died a few months back. Perhaps you can jockey for his job and hump each other in the mountains.
