Olbermann Blasts O'Reilly For Attacking GE: "You Are More Personally Responsible For The 4,000 Dead Americans In Iraq Than All of America's Corporations Put Together." April 16 Huffington Post

Quote:

Keith Olbermann has built become an expert in O'Reilly-baiting, but last night he may have set a new record. Olbermann pushed back against Bill O'Reilly's habitual NBC-bashing — a particularly nasty bout wherein O'Reilly had extrapolated from GE's business dealings with Iran to GE chair Jeffrey Immelt bearing personal responsibility for dead American soldiers — and turned around and laid that blame at O'Reilly's own doorstep. "After all the shilling and ass-kissing you did for the administration before this phony war," said Olbermann, "You are more personally repsonsible for the 4,000 dead Americans in Iraq than all of America's corporations put together." Harsh.

Then he went harsher — by calling O'Reilly out as a hypocrite and a suck: "He didn't care about Americans, dead or alive in Iraq.This is about...me." Then he took the trash-talking to O'Reilly's bosses, too:

Quote:

He really thinks people do not know that his bosses have promised my bosses that he will stop talking about Jeff Immelt or GE or NBC if I stop talking about him. And my bosses have said to me, 'Full steam ahead, buddy.' And they have said to Bill's bosses, 'We think your guy's a clown. Tell him to keep it up because he keeps providing Keith such great material.' It's a good company."
