Hilarious. Thank-you.

Before Olbermann, Current's standard fare as far as programming is concerned consisted of obscure documentaries about goatherders in Khazakstan and the like.

Oh ...snap. I LOVE obscure documentaries about 'goatherders in Khazakstan' (sic).
Now I wish I watched Current. (sniffle, sniffle)

It’s hard to know whom to root for in the coming legal showdown between Keith Olbermann and Al Gore, the former a widely reviled liberal polemicist who cannot hold a job in cable TV and the latter a failed presidential candidate who launched a cable network in 2005 seemingly just for the fun of running it into the ground.

I call LFT! Proper spelling, grammar and vocabulary ("polemicist").

Maybe Keith can get a job as a goatherder in Kazakhstan. He can count down the goats.

But will he feature the "worst goat in the world" segments daily, and what happens once he offends all of the goats eventually?

[Ditter]

This is probably the best one you have ever done Charles YEA!

[COBOL2Java]

Currant TV. . . .

Gooseberry Countdown!

[Choose Ye This Day]

Puttin' on the Spitz. Anthony Weiner was unavailable

Except Weiner's show was to be called "Spittin' on my Putz"

[Choose Ye This Day]

Olby might as well go on Fox. I already dislike all their hosts. What’s one more jerk?

[Notary Sojac]

Currant TV. . . .
[I hear you can get that on your BlackBerry. Unless the signal is jammed.]

One of your best lines yet. I'm preserving it for future reference.

[PJ-Comix]

Okay. Here is my broken pinkie update. Today they put a new splint on it but now my hand is more tightly bound up making typing more difficult. Hand surgery on April 11 and will have a hand cast after that for a few weeks so less DUFUs until later. I type using all fingers so hunt and peck is new to me.

[Charles Henrickson]

Olbermann hired by Fox News

"For me, every month is Sweeps Month!"

[Charles Henrickson]

You know what would make that picture at the top even better? It would be if you put Will the Shill in there on the side.

Keef should team up with Pitt and Scott Ritter and Jason Leopold and form a new organization. Call it "TruthOutOfWork"?

[Charles Henrickson]

I call LFT! Proper spelling, grammar and vocabulary ("polemicist").

You're right that it's not your average illiterate DUmmie. But it's not a Lousy Freeper Troll, either. It's a quote from someone named Rebecca Dana, who writes for the Daily Beast.

[Charles Henrickson]

Hand surgery on April 11. . . .

Keep your eye out for coupons. Maybe you can get both hands operated on for the price of one.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

So a DUmmie posts an unattributed quote. How...progressive of that DUmmie.

[Pinkbell]

LOL!

[Charles Henrickson]

So a DUmmie posts an unattributed quote. How...progressive of that DUmmie.

Oh, it was attributed. DUmmie gateley intro'ed the article like this: "Keith Olbermann will celebrate unemployment by going on David Letterman on Tuesday night. Will it kick off a successful Glenn Beck-style postnetwork TV career, or be his first step toward obscurity? The Daily Beast’s Rebecca Dana examines whether Olbermann’s departure from Current TV will be his ruin or salvation."

Here's the link to that DU THREAD, "Will Keith Olbermann’s Firing Be His Salvation?"

Keep your eye out for coupons. Maybe you can get both hands operated on for the price of one.

Would combining coupons result in a five-finger discount?

[PJ-Comix]

Actually I broke my finger WHILE couponing. I was crossing the street from one store to another when I broke my pinkie.

I was going to mention the same thing except....

It’s hard to know whom to root for in the coming legal showdown...

I would guess that the author was trying really, really hard to sound smart using that whom instead of the usual who but shouldn't it really be

It's hard to know for whom to be rooting in the coming legal showdown...
