On the opening of last night's edition of Countdown, host Keith Olbermann said "now he can wizz all over himself instead of everybody else" on the subject of Rush Limbaugh's mandatory random drug test...

"Actually he is going to be on MSNBC at 9:00 eastern now.
Now, even fewer people can watch the big cheese head..."
So their bright idea is to put him opposite Hannity & Colmes? Brilliant.
Olbermann Trivia - He's a real Jerk!
Has named American comedy team Bob and Ray as his greatest professional influences, and had the opportunity, at age 15, to see them working in the studio.[7]
Possesses six lumbar vertebrae instead of the usual five. [8]
Damaged depth perception in 1980 by rushing to catch a subway car at New York City’s Shea Stadium and slamming his head into the top of the door frame.[7]
Has a mild case of Coeliac disease (gluten intolerance).[9]
Was raised Unitarian. [citation needed]
Is related to boxer Mike Tyson by marriage. (Olbermann’s father’s brother married the niece of Tyson’s adoptive father Cus D’Amato, making Olbermann and Tyson first step-cousins in-law once removed.) [2]
Considers media personality Bill O’Reilly to be his nemesis, taking joy in poking fun at him and referring to him with nicknames such as “The Big Giant Head” (apparently a reference to the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun) and “Ted Baxter” (after Ted Knight’s pompous character on The Mary Tyler Moore Show). O’Reilly usually responds by stating, “No one watches MSNBC.”
New York Yankees second baseman Chuck Knoblauch accidentally hit Olbermann’s mother in the head during a botched play at Yankee Stadium in 1998. Bill Scheft of ESPN the Magazine commented, “I think I speak for the whole ESPN family and sports fans everywhere when I say, ‘Wrong Olbermann.’” Olbermann, an employee of competing cable network Fox Sports Net at the time, blasted Scheft on his radio show the next day, calling him “swine.” [citation needed]
Is a well known vintage baseball card collector of T-206 tobacco cards.[10]
Appeared in a cameo as himself in an episode of NBC’s Surface. [citation needed]
Appeared in a series of television commercials for the Boston Market restaurant chain in 1997, in which he tells a bunch of Calvin Klein-type models - contemplating empty, burning sensations inside - to "Eat something." [citation needed]
Sexiest male newscaster in an online poll by Playgirl magazine, beating out Sean Hannity and Anderson Cooper. Some contest the results since a link was set up on Olbermann's site encouraging people to vote for him. [7]
Olbermann's originally from ESPN SportCenter; in the late 80s and early 90s, he and Dan Patrick invented the "smartass" sports commentator, which poked fun at replays and highlights every morning.
Olbermann got carried away with the act (Dan Patrick didn't and is now a highly respected sports anchor) which is why SportsCenter canned him and he was picked up by MSNBC to read Monica Lewinsky talking points covering Clinton's behind.
Craig Kilborn was also part of this act too on SportsCenter.
Earl Camembert had more talent.
Looks like Keithy baby and prissy chrissie are runnin' neck-to-neck, or is that a$$ to a$$ for those two?
I feel your pain pal... hope it hurts real bad :)
Wow, you beat me by 1 minute!
What is he doing talking about Rush on SportsCenter?
I think he has a crush on Rush.
LOL Media Blog on NRO has been ripping Schuster a new one.
Olbermann says outrageous things about Rush every so often. Personally, I think he's trying to get Rush to respond to his insults on his radio program, as that would only spread Olbermann's name out to far more people than actually watch his awful show. However, Rush is smart enough to notice this tactic every time some liberal wannabe tries it, and simply ignores the venom.
Project much, Keith? Please don't attribute your toileting skills, or perhaps your leisure activity choices, to others.
Who is Keith Olbermann???
I don't really care to know.
"LOL Media Blog on NRO has been ripping Schuster a new one."
What's the scoop on why Fox dumped Schuster?
