  • SOMEHOW THIS IS VERY OFFENSIVE TO TRIG PALIN AS WELL: Question: Why did Keith Olbermann let Richard Wolffe keep appearing as a guest commentator on his show four months after it became apparent that Wolffe is a known greaseball whore who will take money from literally anyone? Answer: How dare you ask that question, which is an insult to Keith Olbermann’s dead mother. [Gawker]

    Keef, quit beating a dead mom, I mean, horse. Too soon?

  2. trickyrick says at 10:12 am, August 7th, 2009

    a. dog fight!
    b. cat fight!

  3. Sure, Wolfe is all you say he is. Did you see the night that Howard Dean filled in for Olbermann? Cringe worth at best. Sort of made you wish that Wolfe was there.

  4. Sara K. Smith, whoever she is, posted pretty good article by CajunBoy, whoever he is.

    Also, this reminded me of how people that had grandmothers that died every semester during finals. Wild, wild stuff.

    Terry: I thought Howard Dean was far better than Wolfie, though Lawrence O’Donnell kicked both their asses.

    Wolfie looks like a youner, skinnier Bernie Madoff.

    Noonan: I used that excuse in my senior year in high school — of course my dad found out and I barely lived to tell the tale.

    Mystery Woman: You miserable slug! You think you can talk your way out of this? You betrayed me.

    Jake Blues: No I didn’t. Honest… I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

    norbizness: Also, his one armed uncle was at the airport with two suitcases.

    SKS: Knock, knock.

    KL: Who’s there?

    SKS: Carroll.

    KL: Carroll who?

    SKS: Carroll County, Iowa!!!!

    [guffaws, knee-slapping, milk spurting out nostrils, etc]

    KL: Oh MY GOSH, that one just keeps getting funnier and funnier!! You’re killing me!!

    Perfect headline Sara. He should have been clutching an urn with mom’s ashes while performing that tasteless excuse for an excuse.

  11. ProfessorJukes says at 10:49 am, August 7th, 2009

    Keith… you, uh, you you just produce a corpse. I wanna see this dead mother first hand.
    Just, uh, roll her old bones on over here, and I’ll start watching Countdown again. You know that’s policy.

    Beck would have blamed socialist, collectivist Medicare for his mommy’s passing. Had she lived in a non-Maxist country (e.g. Antartica or Terra del Fuego) she would have lived forever and ever.

  13. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:56 am, August 7th, 2009

    Wait. Keith O’s mother is still dead?

  14. trickyrick says at 11:06 am, August 7th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: exact-o mundo. Both ‘O’s to compete with the big Oprah. Would the liberal media then collapse under the weight of sheer leftsidedness?

  15. SayItWithWookies says at 11:08 am, August 7th, 2009

    Well — I’m sure this little imbroglio will mean we’re spared from Olbermann bloviating about how other people have no integrity, right? This is right up there with him toeing the MSNBC line and not showing a moment of Jon Stewart’s takedown of Jim Cramer. Just one question, Keith — when they find you in the hotel room, will it be with a live boy or a dead girl? Just so we can be prepared, okay?

  16. The Cold Sea says at 11:09 am, August 7th, 2009

    Leave Keeef alone!

  17. SayItWithWookies: live boy or a dead girl. Dead horse. From all the beatings, you know.

  18. Why does SKS insist on mouth-raping the late Mrs. Olbermann?

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 11:30 am, August 7th, 2009

    TGY: He probably has a couple of PAs who follow him around with it on a dolly so it’s always there when he needs it.

  20. Car Ramrod says at 11:41 am, August 7th, 2009

    I remember when Olbermann was on SportsCenter and would enthusiastically announce home runs for known drug cheat and closet Mexican Sammy Sosa AND WHERE’S MY APOLOGY FOR THAT JACKASS? I HURT SO MUCH.

  21. EdFlinstone says at 11:43 am, August 7th, 2009

    Well I wont buy his excuse until I see the long form death certificate.

  22. shadowMark says at 12:41 pm, August 7th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Living and dead boys and girls all have names and therefore are like so yesterday. Keith Olbermann will be found in a closet like David Carradine so he doesn’t have to share the story with any other name. Accidental death, killed while counting himself down. Keith Olbermann.

  23. Mr Blifil says at 1:41 pm, August 7th, 2009

    It’s like Gawker raped Keith with their mouse.

  24. Blitzarr says at 3:08 am, August 8th, 2009

    Not a mouse, no. A gerbil.
