Keith Olbermann was quoted in today’s New York Daily News as saying, “Most conservative talk shows do well because they air in the afternoon. Liberals, however, have things to do during the day.”
I didn’t think I’d hear something dumber than Pelosi saying, “Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don’t think we can go fast enough to stop that.” Yet, I was proven wrong by another liberal, Olbermann.
His statement comes at a time when there is an extremely negative attitude trying to be projected toward the world of talk radio. What I don’t understand is: 1) Olbermann currently has no ties to talk radio. 2) His show on MSNBC sucks, and rival Bill O’Reilly trumps him and his ratings every night. Why in the world did Olbermann feel the need to say what he said?
His stupidity shines like Obama’s Cabinet’s IRS Tax Returns. Yes, Rush is in the afternoon and rules talk radio. Yes, next in line is Sean Hannity, and he is still in the afternoon. You look at the list of top talk show hosts, though, and it revolves around the entire day (except for Coast to Coast, which is a different breed all together). Mark Levin is in the evening. Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck are in the mornings. Michael Savage is on your drive home from work and on into the evening. The way Olbermann talks is that come evening time, conservatives disappear from the ratings and liberals rule.
Olbermann is a moron, and as Conservative Punk called him, he is a “bowling pin shaped freak.”
It’s hard to dissect an issue like this because it is so unbelievably simple. What Olbermann said was completely wrong, and had absolutely zero substantial info to back it up.
I’ll keep listening to conservatives, because I have nothing else better to do.

I would argue that many people are working while listening to talk radio, e.g. truck drivers, mechanics, farmers, factory workers, etc.–generally speaking, all of the hard working, conservative Americans.

What are liberals doing during the day? Making sure illegal aliens get their health care? Helping Palestenians relocate? Hoping to find something legitimate to rant about on their lame MSNBC show?
