Limbaugh gets support from an unlikely source-Keith Olbermann
NBC sports ^ | october 8, 2009 | Mike Florio

Posted on 10/13/2009 6:41:16 AM PDT by opentalk

Keith Olbermann of MSNBC defended Limbaugh's right to buy the Rams. And Olbermann made the critics of Limbaugh on this point entry No. 3 on Olbermann's nightly "Worst Persons in the World" segment of Countdown.

"There're now gonna be character tests for sports owners?" Olbermann said. "There'll only be three of them left. Unless they beat the Vikings Sunday as of next Thursday it will have been a full year since the Rams won a game. My God, if Limbaugh wants to buy them far be it for me to tell him he's flushing his money down a rat hole."

Really. And I've been named one of his "World's Worst Persons," too.

Don't know how much control Rush would have, but he doesn't back too many losers (save Marta's dumb magazine project).

I am glad I don’t have to look at his ugly mug on my football games anymore.

He did a very good job at keeping the politics out when he was commentating, but I couldn’t help but anticipate at any given moment, a tirade about how the game loss was BUSH’S FAULT!

Olberhole is NOT saying that he supports Rush's desire to own the Rams, he just wants him to go broke.

K.O. is a sorry excuse for a human being and a waste of skin.

Olberman’s commentary is a veiled insult of Rush, nothing more.

Did you get a certificate? You should write and ask for a signed one.

"Olberman’s commentary is a veiled insult of Rush, nothing more."

I'm inclined to agree with your take given all I know of this particular POS.

OTOH scuttlebutt has it Rupert Murdoch and a pal are interested in acquiring NBC-Universal.

Kiethy-boy might be reading the tea leaves. LOL

“...down a rat hole.”???

Rush is investing in a sports franchise.

Buying MSNBC, now THAT would be a “rat hole”.

No, and I was deeply disappointed that I was only #2 behind OK senator Jim Inhofe.
