IIRC, that phrase first burst on the scene in some championship series, like in the late 70's.
Now the Obama recession isn't over until Christina Romer spins.

February 02, 2010 The Fat Lady Sings for Keith Olbermann By Stuart Schwartz "It ain't over until the fat lady sings."
The fat lady is doing more than singing for Keith Olbermann. And, like most of the other women in the life of MS-NBC's premiere leftist sexist, she's not interested in dating him. Rather, she merely wishes to see his well-padded bottom fade into the distance.
In sports broadcasting, where Olbermann worked for twenty years, the phrase -- picked up from opera -- signifies the end of the game, the last minutes when hope of revival is past and fans head for the exits.

They forgot to mention his uncanny resemblance to Eugene Levy ... I’m sure that doesn’t help his credibility.
I hope they hang onto him until the network folds.
Wow, sounds like a sad, closeted gay man to me...
The final paragraph is a killer.
“Each person reveals himself by what he says and does, by the way he dresses, by the ways he responds to events, by what he reads and watches, and generally, by the way he lives life. By observing anyone, we can see what that person is like.”
Devastating. Way more information about his private life than I ever imagined wanting to know, but very, very funny. The man is sick. This is a front runner for post of the day.
WHo is the bigger fool - Olbermann, or the people who put (and keep) him on TV at MSNBC?
Excellent! Captures the real Olberman perfectly.
They need to move their all left shows to about 1:00pm to 2:30. It is the perfect time when all the working folks are at work and the left is just getting up from the night before.
The last sentence says it all.
When I read the fat lady was singing I was hoping the keith had joined john murtha and they were going to visit fat teddy.
Yeah this one is gonna leave a mark...
The only thing I am not clear on; is whether in fact - though if not, it cannot be long - the plug has been pulled.

Up-article, there's some evidence the term 'man' may be misplaced.
...a deranged diva who has yet to decide whether his jockstrap is half-empty or half-full.
Now we're getting somewhere with the term 'diva'. And I question he even knows what a jockstrap is.
I agree-it’s a classic!
Yowza! Superb zinger at the end.
Wow, reading that article was as satisfying as eating an expensive perfectly grilled steak.
It was yummy
That is a generous and chariable wish, and I join you in wishing it.
