A turd with a face

Keith Olbermann's e-mail response to Time about the Saturday Night Live sketch in which Ben Affleck parodied him this past weekend is so patently Keith Olbermann that it almost seems like the SNL staff wrote it. He begins lightheartedly enough:
SNL and my Football Night In America show share adjoining studios, so upon my arrival yesterday, awaiting me was one of the cue cards from the bit, with Ben writing of the sketch: "Keith - Remember, a) I didn't write this; b) it took years of study - fondly, Ben."
Right, so we are duly informed that (a) Ben Affleck really hearts him actually, just so you know, in fact they are on a first-name basis, and (b) Keith is totally taking this whole thing in good humor because he is not as thin-skinned and paranoid as they made him out to be in that sketch OF COURSE.
Except then he ruins it by not being able to stop himself from going off the rails:
Honestly, everybody deserves a laugh but if on the weekend before the presidential election they spent more than seven seconds bothering with ME, the campaign staff has even less of a clue than I thought … Also, what's this "about time" jazz? Since spring they've been trying to cajole, sweet-talk, bully, threaten, blackmail, and bribe everybody at NBC from the pages to the presidents to get the milquetoast coverage they want - especially to shut me down.

Yes it was but Affleck only partially captured the paranoia, raging ego and being a jerk. He’d have to have been even more Olberman to capture the real man.
poor baby.
What a whiner! He uses a skit created by his network to take a cheap shot at Republicans.
If Obama wins, Olbermann will be out on his ear.
When did the Olberdork first plop onto the national scene?
He's a dick.
