My IQ, repeatedly measured, is 135. It's bright, but not genius.

I keep my job.

Olbermann says he's a genius.

But he cannot keep his.

So he has a "leafy brain," ay? Well, that figures. Leafy brain is a fungus and is also called jelly leaf or brown witch's butter.

Yeah, that was a genius skit. Did you know that Keith went over to the SNL studio to watch Ben rehearse and left none too happy?

Turns out that the polish spelling of Olbermann is, ‘putz’.

Olbermann was misquoted. I fixed it.

I’m sure that people have said this but Keith is too much of a dumbass to recognize sarcasm.

As a hat-tip to Wile E. Coyote, let's also bring Bugs Bunny into the mix...

What a maroon!

And, just so we're sure, let's have Daffy Duck weigh in as well...

Nope! Wrong! Guess Again!
