Keith who?
Sound about as scary as being mauled by a tribble.
No thanks. I just ate.
I will be watching Tuesday so I can note the sponsors to Overbite’s sad excuse for a TV show. I will then be contacting sponsors to inform them I will not buy from them. As he says, what’s good for goose is good for gander?!
It must be “that time of month” for Keithie.
I would have to bet money on Beck on this one.
There will be more weirdness, freakiness, and dirt on the Obama czars (or commissars?).
There is that line about "in a battle of wits, you are disarmed."
Which purse will he use to hit Glen with? Hmm, evening or day bag?
I don't know why ANYONE pays ANY ATTENTION to what that clown says or does...much less why you guys bother to post anything about him...
I wonder if he behaved like this as a child.
Liberals are mentally ill. And inherently self-destructive.
Go, Keith!
More popcorn.
What, was he getting bored with his war with Bill O’Reilly?
The mouse that farted?
so what is the scoop with Olberman?
He pushed to be sexiest reporter for playgirl.
He used to broadcast sports but was asked to leave. (?)
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
I bet Glen is crying about now! He must be Soooooooooooooo scared!
ROTFLMAO@Oberbaby.
If Olberman falls in the woods and no one is around to hear, does he make a sound?
In other news, Monaco has started planning the invasion and occupation of mainland china.
Olbermann is like a pet Yorkie nipping at Beck’s ankle ;-)
