Thursday
Today
UPDATE: More than 36 hours have passed since MSNBC “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann besmirched the parking lot at Lawrence Dumont Stadium in a swipe at organizers of “tea party” protests.
The “Tea Party Express” bus is scheduled to make a stop in the parking lot Nov. 4.
In his Wednesday broadcast, Olbermann scoffed at the bus tour’s planned destinations, including this:
“Previous tea parties so successful they now have to hold them in such venues as Wichita’s Lawrence Dumont Stadium (pause) parking lot.”
Olbermann’s remark touched off a broad and heated debate here at Wichitopekington over the tea party movement and the role of cable news in American politics. Some excerpts:
– Are they really stopping in the parking lot? Ha, I thought that at least in a conservative place like Wichita they could do a little better… like a mall or something.
– This is just one more “grasping at straws” in desperation by the left who is scared to death that the tea party movement is 1)speaking the truth and exposing the lies and abuses of the left and 2) is growing in popularity.
– Does anyone else see the irony of having a (tea party) gathering in the parking lot of the WING NUTS?! Home field advantage?
– Olbermann is a hack. He couldn’t cut it on ESPN, he had to join one of the junior networks to get a job.
– Will (Fox News commentator Glenn) Beck show up as host with his bottle of Vicks VapoRub that he uses for his cry baby segments? Always good for a laugh or two.
– Olbe-dude needs to lower the dose they’ve got him on. He keeps missing the finer details, like what about the Obama voter who left that dirty diaper on the asphalt? Guess that’s what they meant by “change.”
Meanwhile, the discarded diaper discovered in the Lawrence Dumont Stadium parking lot Thursday remained there this morning despite the presence of a large municipal work crew cutting grass and trimming trees nearby.
It also weathered overnight storms, although being rained on did not appear to improve it any.

Considering the Kansas winds yesterday, that diaper must be as full of it as the Tea Bag crowd.
That IS one sturdy and absorbent diaper there. I think we’re going to need daily diaper status reports…I smell PULITZER!!! (Wait, that’s not Pulitzer, that’s pee-pee diaper…)
We need a Web cam on that diaper! hahahaha
The right is really wrong. Admit it.
Especially when they hate and ignorance. It hard to blame the President for the state bush left us in.
Funny that the Teabaggers never complained while Bush was running uo deficits and running his wars off the books.
Consider the source, he is a jerk.
Good job liberals, how about instead of sitting on your butts and wanting a webcam so you can watch a dirty diaper, go out there and clean it up! And all this time I thought the democratic party was the environmentally friendly party… pretty sad.
i like that this dude completley ignored the comments about how Olbermann wasn’t dissing the stadium or the parking lot, bedcause he wants to cause more controversy…its really rediculous.
all he was saying was: they are meeting in a ..parking lot…if they are so sucessful, why aren’t they meeting in the stadium where theres more room, and no diapers(well maybe not).
Superb grammar! You all are morons.
Dion, Your boss should be asking you why he paid you for two days worth of stories for something that really doesn’t deserve a mention in the first place. When it comes to much ado about nothing,Dion has a bright future as a Politician!
Slow News Day: Day 2
Olbermann hit on great points. I have decided to stop trying to defend liberal democrat views to republicans. We have the White House, Senate, and the house of representatives. In the next year, things will have turned around and republicans who decided to vote no to every bill, will have to explain their reasons why. I just laugh now, as republicans continue to make claims that they are winning. You WING NUTS are hilarious…..
bth, stay on topic you nit, this isnt about Bush
wutang_bk
Oh good grief, remind me again who wanted this job? You liberals are pathetic
all he was saying was: they are meeting in a ..parking lot…if they are so sucessful, why aren’t they meeting in the stadium where theres more room, and no diapers(well maybe not).
…hammer, Jesus, lets go over this again, ok? The Tea Party Bus will be in the PARKING LOT. Where do YOU park buses?
Olbermann is trying to discredit the movement. One does not take the time to mention something, especially to discredit it, if they are not threatened by it. As far as the local event and where it will be held, the L-D parking lot is a lot larger than the front of the courthouse where others have been held. Larger venue, more anticipated attendees.
Meanwhile, the discarded diaper discovered in the Lawrence Dumont Stadium parking lot Thursday remained there this morning despite the presence of a large municipal work crew cutting grass and trimming trees nearby.

It also didn’t move it any. Coincidence? Liberal tree hugger litter bug hypocrites.
That is not a diaper……………….it is a speed bump designed to look like a diaper…………….Come one people! LAUGH a little!
This story will win a Pewlitzer!
futurerep, I’ll bite. What exactly has the Democratically controlled government accomplished in the last 9 months that gives you so much glee? Reaping praise isn’t about what people are going to accomplish, it is about congratulating them for what they have accomplished. Of course, that little dose of reality doesn’t seem to apply to the Lefties. They like to slap each other on the back for having great ideas. Look no further than the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for the proof. Owebama was nominated a mere 12 days after taking office? For having accomplished what? Righties congratulate each other for the things they have accomplished. Like tearing down long-standing cement walls dividing nations and peoples. Amazing Reagan was never even nominated for the Nobel considering all that he helped achieve on this 3rd rock from the sun.
Hey LD is right around the corner from me, I need to go check on that diaper.
P.S. I will NOT be at the Tea Party.
Olbermann is NOT a hack. He’s more accurate in what he said than the person who authored this story. He was NOT criticizing the LD parking lot. I’d explain it, but you wouldn’t get it.
Why don’t they call these things what they really are? Pity parties.
Michael Savage speaks of red doper diaper babies, that must be where the diaper came from. Call Harry Reid and ask him to send someone from his base to pick it up.
Well hello Happy, welcome to the Liberal Hack Shack. You will definately fit in
Fish….AMEN
Thank you Mr_Kia.
“As far as the local event and where it will be held, the L-D parking lot is a lot larger than the front of the courthouse where others have been held. Larger venue, more anticipated attendees.”
Funny how Olbermann is making fun of a bus parking in a parking lot. Yes, Wichita does have a lot of supporters of the movement or at least a lot of people who share a lot of the same ideals as those who are organizing this Tea Bag Express bus tour. Having it in a larger parking lot makes sense.
That being said…The diaper is not worth focusing on, it’s just gross AND this story is no more newsworthy today than it was yesterday.
Will someone please toss Olbermann and his diaper in the trash?
thx
Don’t you find it interesting the White House would say Fox News is like a radio talk show, when MSNBC has a Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow ? They lay down and roll over for the Dems. I’ve never seen anyone carry so much water. You are right, Olberman was a flop at ESPN but, not that he is at MSNBC he has 3 or 4 viewers every night. What a bad joke he is !!!!
hehehe
“a Pewlitzer!!!”
We have a winner! StevenEDavis!!!
This photo deserves the World Press Photo of the Year Award as much as Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Same caliber of achievement for both… NONE.
I am so glad everyone has kept their sense of humor today! Thanks, Dion! We all need a laugh in these times of woe.
if libs had a brain they would be dangerous
and why do you idiot liberals always point out bush’s faults? point out what obama has done to fix it….OH WAIT. THAT’S RIGHT. HE HASN’T. i put more value in that diaper in that picture than i do on any of you libs. obama will go down as the WORST president this country ever has or ever will see. so glad i woke up and got away from the liberal stupidity.
obama is a has done nothing and wont do anything president.
Olberman couldn’t get @E$R in a women’s prison with a fistful of pardons.
Obama got rid of Bush. That is a notable accomplishment. Even if he did nothing, it would be a far sight better than the incredible incompetence and destruction caused by Bush.
Thank you President Bush for keeping our Great Country safe from further terriorism for your last seven+years. I do not feel as safe now as I did when Obama took over in January. I fear that the time is coming that we will be living in a muslin nation under socialism if things don’t get turned around soon. For all you Olbermanites out there; If you desire the truth I suggest you switch to FOX. A lot of other people have done so. Fox has more watchers than ABC, CBS, NBC & MSNBC combined during O’Reily’s “The Factor” hour. Fox still asks the “hard” questions that make people have to tell the truth. Elections are coming next year and we will get enough conservatives elected to stop the Obama train. Just for the heck of it I would like for all you liberals to go out to the Tea Party just to see what it is all about. Go and listen. Don’t go to show your a** by interupting.
…..and so it goes.
Keith’s country is being taken away right under his snotty nose.
Does the writer of this article know what the word “besmirched” is defined as? How do you sully or make dirty a parking lot with a wasted diaper. Ah TOTO we are indeed in Kansas. No wonder the local paper is having problems.
Olberman is an idiot, Bush wasn’t conservative enough, and Obama a Chicago style crook. The diaper is probably empty – just a prop for the picture.
I cannot believe that adult people can act like such children. Democratic vs. Republican, or Republican vs. Democtric. BOTH “parties” are but the left and right “wings” of a vulture eating our country. Two heads of the same beast. Yes, “we” did “complain” about Bush, and we were called “conspiracy theorest” & “nut jobs.” “We” entered the political field supporting the likes of Ron Paul, only to have his message “discarded” by the main stream media. “We” didn’t go away and we are growing in numbers despite the “election.” The day is coming in this country, when you either support the constitution and defend it with every fiber of your being, OR, you are such a “relativest” that being a citizen of the United Nations is just okay for you. Whichever the case my be, if you continue to “understand” the concept of national politics in the terms of “left vs. right” or “right vs. left” YOU ARE PART OF THE “PROBLEM!”
well said jagragg 1954.
if obama has his way with this country and his agenda is it REALLY going to matter what political party people affiliate themselves with?
and to the poster in part 1 that spouted there were ONLY 10,000 protesters in WA. delusional much? we scare you nobama lovers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qdNhqiUzM
looks like over a million to me
One Bad A$$ Mistake America
Once again you teabag, conservative nut jobs conintued to justified the book titled “What’s the matter with Kansas”. I am not ashamed to say that I watched Keith Olberman every evening @ 7:00 on MSNBC to get real news. I also watch Chris Matthews @ 4:00, Ed Shultz @ 5:00, Keith, then Rachel Maddow. When the above news are on commerical, I will switched to Fox (I mean fixed news) to see what they are distorting on that day (and believe me that is all Fixed News do is distort their version of the news.)If, you nuts on the right looked at anything other than the Fixed News Station, then you would understand why the world hated this country under the criminals named Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and the other convicted felonies of the Bush Admin. Have you nuts forgotten the 8 eights that this insane fool (Bush) occupied the White House! What he and his crooks did to our economy? How many innocent men and women died because of their lies about Iraq! How they turned all of their attention to a country that didn’t attack us (Irag) instead of sending our brave soliders to Afganistan. President Omaba and some of our Congressmen and women, and our representatives are doing the best they can to clean up the mess your heroes left. And, talk about double talke. Where were all of you right wing, nut bags during the Bush years. Hello somebody.
I think Queen 4849 has been smoking some bad weed. Relax Queen, this will only last for a short time and then we can get back to being good Americans again. I really appreciate Obama and Barney Frank working night and day, just for me. I sure sleep better now that the Fox is guarding the chicken house. But then, what could we expect from a Queen who spends so much time watching MSNBC. Matthews, who admits getting a tingling feeling down his leg whenever he sees Obama. I sure want him in my living room.
It appears to me that you have been the one not only smoking something, but digested it too. If, you can sleep better with Fox (fixed news) guarding the chicken house, then that says a lot about who you are (stupid). But, as I said before you sound just the book “What’s the matter with Kansas?) Maybe if you got your news other than FIXED you could expand your knowledge. But, that’s probably not possible since you obviously have your mind in the gutter talking stuff tingling down ya legs thinking about our President. Smile you STUPID.
We all need to pull together as Americans and turn this country around or we will all be in one heck of a mess. Just ask anyone who works in the aviation industry in Wichita. Our government is going crazy looking for more ways to waste the treasury, or what’s left of it. We need to turn to the Jesus and lobby our government representatives to do the same. The Democrats and the Republicans are destroying our future at breakneck speed.
