DC Tom Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's from "The Onion", right? No, those are authentic. I've seen them reported elsewhere. Olberman's a real blowhard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 No, those are authentic. I've seen them reported elsewhere. Olberman's a real blowhard. Worse than JW at 3:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Worse than JW at 3:00am. Even Keith needs someone he can aspire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 No, those are authentic. I've seen them reported elsewhere. Olberman's a real blowhard. This is actually referred to on The Daily Caller's front page as "DC-Satire." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 This is actually referred to on The Daily Caller's front page as "DC-Satire." Thanks for clearing that up. 'Cause it's not like I wanted to see if I could reel him in or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 And of course I take back my earlier defense of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That wasn't going to happen. Probably not...but why not play that more-than-minuscule chance that you are actually that stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 He said what was pissing him off in the clip. People were moving around during the shot. What more do you need to know? My opinion depends on whether they were filming a taped segment, or some kind of live teaser. If the result of people moving around was that they needed to do another short take, a 5 second rant would probably have sufficed, as opposed to a minute and a half. I met Olbermann a couple of years ago when he visited my radio station, WVBR, in Ithaca (that's where he got his start). He was actually in-studio during my time slot as a DJ but he refused an interview...some legal jargon about his contract with Current and the transition period from MSNBC. Anyway, there was a Q & A in the basement. This was around March, so my friend jokingly asked "Who you got in the tournament?" Olbermann turns up his nose and says "If you think I have time for March Madness, you haven't listened to my other answers." One other thing I'll say is that the dude has MAAAAAJOR chip on his shoulder. Every story he tells is about some media guy who never believed in him, but now he's the top dog. Douche.

Buftex Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have always hated Olberman. Even when he was just on ESPN. To me, he is one of those folks who you don't want on "your side" of any issue... Laurence Odonnell, his replacement, is only marginally more bearable. Jeez...now you guys got me talking to myself. Just watching O'Donnell, he claims, straight faced, that he has never tasted beer in his life, and certainly never taken any illegal drugs. Got no problem with the drug thing, but seriously, never tasted beer? Now I know why I don't like him too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
