FOXNews' Bill O'Reilly was only able to make the bronze on Monday's Worst Person in the World segment on Countdown for telling fellow moron Dick Morris that Reverend Wright was Obama's Willie Horton.

The silver went to Heather Mills-McCartney for allegedly throwing a glass of water in the face of Paul McCartney's lawyer after today's divorce hearing.

The gold went to Bill Keller, Managing Editor of The New York Times. Keith Olbermann called on Keller to fire William Kristol for smearing Barack Obama with false information he cut & pasted from right wing website, Newsmax. (Newsmax was caught trying to scrub the error from their Wiki page) Kristol wrote in the NYT that Obama was "in the pews" during one of Reverend Wright's sermons when in fact, he was in Florida. This is the second time that Kristol had to admit that his assertions are not based on fact. Does the name Jayson Blair ring any bells to Keller? Is he willing to go down the same road with Kristol?

How can anyone live on a miserly $50,000,000 these days?

Especially in a Boosh economy.

Only Bill Keller doesn't hire the op-ed writers. That's the publisher, young Sulzberger.

Because the other 2 - 3 million other erroneous statements he's made cannot be verified ?

When Keith Olbernann gets all riled-up he looks a lot like Maude Finley.

Whoops. Quick check, it was Andrew Rosenthal (notice last name -- heard of Abe Rosenthal?), the Editorial Page Editor, and from there it goes up to Sulzberger. The Executive Editor is kept out of that loop. He looks after news content.

Joe Scarborough is going nuts. He asked Obama's foreign policy adviser today if she was a 911 conspiracy nut. Geez. She is a respected, well educated, sane, experienced person who worked for the former presidents for f**k's sake. She should have replied, "Do You Joe?", but I'm sure Joe, GE and Mika wouldn't like to go there, would they. What a freak show.

Keith Olbermann said Billo paid Andrea Mackris a $10 million settlement. Is Keith stupid enough to believe that Billo paid her? Rupert Murdoch cut that check and paid it out of the petty cash fund.

Bill Keller is the Managing Editor of the NYT. He is responsible for these snafus. It really slays my beast of burden how he lets Kristol make him look like a fool. Bill Keller has lost any creditability with his peers when Kristol is calling the shots. Absoultly the worst person and fool in the wooooooorld.

Terrorism can be defined as acts which are intended to create fear, are perpetrated for an ideological goal and by a member or members of a group (NeoCon Zionists), and which deliberately target civilian non-combatants in effort to force political change by convincing a government or population to agree to demands to avoid future harm or fear of harm.

Bill Kristol and rest of his Neo-Con Zionists are terrorists by their own definition. Yes, Bush is also a terrorist and by far the biggest threat to the security of this nation. When will these terrorists be brought to justice?

What are the odds Keller will admit that the NYT hired a hack by firing him? They'll probably assign an editor to babysit him.

===============================================

thats a distinct possibility, but someone must take responsibility for the NYT. If firing the Kristol-boy is the answer, then Keller is responsible. I think Keith Oberman was extra cool in putting the Keller in the sights instead of Kristol. We can always see Friends of Bush on the list, it isn't often we see the Publisher of NYT.

You just need a post on Obama. Wowzers. They are swarming like flies to _ _ _ t.........read a post, start replying and 40 more appear just as wingnutty as the previous. Whether I agree with regular posters on here all the time or not, I would never want to be the owner of one of these sites. The more popular you are, the more retards come out. Poor C&L staff!!

the fact that a pre-nup should even be a part of the discussion means you have too much money, so don't even have sex with strangers!

Poverty...the only sure way to know that a person loves you for who you are not what you're worth...

then again, Paul was warned by Heather's previous victim/husband, up to and including telling Paul in a letter how things would play out leading to the Divorce settlement, if Paul chose to marry her.

No matter who hired him, it was a mistake - not because he's a conservative, but because he doesn't know how to write a column. This is something everybody thinks they can do. Hiring a Bill Kristol to be a NY Times columnist is like hiring him to play the oboe in the NY Philharmonic.

Bill Keller has no authority over the editorial side of the paper. He cannot hire or fire columinsts or editorial writers. That is the case at all newspapers and for good reason.

Say what you will about william kristol but the fact is this, his idea of a McCain/Clarence Thomas ticket was the best idea in about a century. That moves a Democrat into the White House and the SCOTUS to the left in one fell swoop.

My hat's off to him.

One more glaring example of just how wrong marriage and divorce laws are... what in the hell did this woman do to deserve that kind of money?

Nothing! She was probably a gold digging bitch from the start. Her behavior illustrates just how much of an a**hole she is.

BTW, she didn't throw a glass of water in the lawyer's face, she poured an entire pitcher over the lawyer's head.

If I was the judge, I'd have thrown her ass in jail immediately for contempt.

So is Bill Kristol more of a crook or more of a liar?

I guess it doesn't really matter; I think of him more as an arrogant asshole.

ck's picture

Yet the US media will still kowtow to that freak Heather Mills and continue to let her rant in our media -- on CNN, on chat shows, on 'dancing with the has-beens', in magazine and newspaper articles, etc.

In olden times someone like her - a complete gold digging, rancid-minded lunatic - would have been shut out once it was discovered how toxic she is.

Now, you can't get away from her. She'll be all over the airwaves congratulating herself and our moronic media dolts like Larry King and Sheppard Smith and Anderson Cooper will let her rave on.

oh really's picture

I say fire Bill Keller. The guy's a disaster.

I couldn't hear Olbermann over the din of gushing for Obama's speech, which was, incidentally, a masterpiece-- it hit all the liberal "shiver" points, made Andrew Sullivan start a post with the word "Alas," yet failed to really address the fact that he's been keeping company with a conspiracy-obsessed racist who thinks that hidden forces designed AIDS to exterminate black people.

That would be an inconvenient fact.

But you guys are right, we should just move on. Cause there are really bad Christians, too.

Why are democrats listen/reading the NYTimes or supporting their sponsors. Democrats need to get their act together and boycott the news media and sponsors that spread these lies and BS. One thing the republicans do even when a news media is telling the truth and they just don't want to hear it , they get together and boycott them.
Democrats will keep getting the short end of the stick and as long as they keep doing nothing like our democratic leaders and just bitch about it with out action ,, this will have no d... teeth at all.
We have been bitching about the corruption and criminal crimes from Bush , Cheney and the rest of the republicans and it have not accomplished a d... thing, and the news media is loving every moment of their BS and propaganda that they can swiftboat on the democrats..
Look how quick the republicans received the constant coverage of their to impeach Spitzer the governor of NY, when they have had even worst sex information on republicans.
By the way what ever happened to the ties of McCain to the telecom companies and the woman which was so close to McCain you would think they were going together or something like that.
In the 1990's we had Craig , Newt , Lott and other republicans spreading their hate to condemn Clinton's lie about sex , while we had Craig , Newt , Lott and other republicans involved in immoral sex while they were calling for his impeachment.
Why was Craiq left in office and the republicans didn't call for his impeachment , after he was caught playing in the bathroom and pleaded guilty. Then republican Senator Arlen Specter, of Pennsylvania jumped to his aid and told him to change his plead of guilty.
H... Craig told Clinton when they were impeaching him that he had been a "naughty , naughty boy, now doesn't that sound like something Craig would say...
What does the news media pickup and run with anything d... thing they can rake up on a democrat while the republicans were ramped with the many type of sex acts and were ignored in their new coverage as usual.

For some of your naughty ,, naughty republicans just check these web sites.....
