1. When did Keith Olbermann get a cable show? I always wondered what happened to him since he left SportsCenter. He was pretty funny doing highlights.
To paraphrase Bob Uecker from Major League:
In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the ratings, you haven't... Keith Olbermann has a show on MSNBC.
2. What the heck is his problem with John Thompson, the former Georgetown coach? Did he refuse to give Keith an interview when he was working at ESPN?
He must be talking about the other Free Republic. The bizarro one.
Meanwhilst, a new tagline.
I throw out a Bill Cullen and get nothing. Sad
Who is Bill Cullen? Is he involved with that Jim Thompson guy?

Jim Thompson was our former Combine Party (Republicrats) Illinois Governor from 1977-1991. Congrats to him for winning 2nd prize on the Olbermann show’s worst person.
Bill Cullen and Betty White were the Valerie Plame and (what’s his name) of the early 60s. Their cover was televised game shows.
I think this is the funniest thread I’ve ever seen on FR.

Wow. I thought he was scalped, gutted, and left to die by the.... ummm.... folks that do that kind of stuff.
And then crawled off and killed a grizzly to replace his hair and internal organs.
Last I heard he was between Silver City and El Paso, lookin' for someone, riding hard, and he was really, really upset. Really bad hair day for Liver Eating Jim Thompson. Seriously bad hair day. Can't comb grizzly bear fur to cover a bald spot where you've been scalped.
I hope that tenderfoot Olberman gets to meet our Jimmy.

Thanks. No matter how young you are there is always somebody even younger who doesn’t get the reference and makes you feel like you are old.
Happens to me all the time now. I’m only 41 but I have to explain crap to Gen Y kids whose birthdates are ridiculous, 1987, 1990.
They were the kids and college students who voted for Barack Fitzgerald Obama. Dumbasses are now waiting two deep in the unemployment line.
OMG...........that is hysterical! the poor guy....all fifteen of them.
Excellent analysis, BG!
Hank
Oh .... noooo.... Oh man. Those poor guys...!!!
Overbite is a racist! What has he called Bush and Cheney??

I made up my mind that I would make whatever references I felt like, because it was fun. I also suspected that there would be *someone* who’d get it. I know what you mean, though.
To make you feel better, I’ve heard that there are lots of 20 y.o.s who love the Beatles, and the music of the 60s-70s, because their parents would play it. A second generation grew up with it. Young guitarists love the more intricate songs, and acknowledge that there’s nothing like it today.
And our own Jim Thompson was undercover with Betty and Bill, and went by the name “Allen Ludden.” Remember? :-)
LMHO!
