Keith Olbermann's Ego Asks What is a Cityfile?

This obscure website seems determined to write the truth lies about Keith Olbermann's Ego.
But insiders at MSNBC and NBC News aren't too happy with Olbermann either, we hear. His attempt to cover up the backroom deal and then lie about its existence—in the face of evidence to the contrary—was viewed as a typically ego-centric move on Olbermann's part, one that served his own personal interests at the expense of MSNBC's credibility.
Keith Olbermann is Ego-Centric? Nothing could be more right wrong. Okay fine, so the Ego is well, The Ego but The Ego's fans like love it that way! Keith Olbermann's Ego is so big that it has its own website after all.
Making matters worse was how he handed the revelation that Countdown contributor Richard Wolffe was employed by a Washington lobbying firm.....Instead of acknowledging the mistake, cutting Wolffe loose, and moving on—or saying nothing about the matter publicly—Olbermann first pretended as if he'd been unaware of Wolffe's new job when issued his regrets. But then he changed course, suggesting he'd been so consumed with grief following his mother's death in April that he didn't have time to look into the issue, so he handed over the matter to his "management team" so they could take care of it. That Olbermann was quick to put the blame on his colleagues didn't sit very well with MSNBC insiders, we hear. The handful of lies and overall feeling that Olbermann had reignited a war that could have been brought to a close didn't do much to endear him to his colleagues either.
Seriously, did this clown or anyone else expect Keith Olbermann's Ego to take the fall for what was obviously his staff (and management's) mistake? Of course not--that's why they are there-to cover for Keith Olbermann's Ego! And then there's some driven about how the Ego is overpaid. At 7.5 million a year The Ego is a bargain! And this website acts like Katy Tur is the first person ever to get a job because of her boyfriend's pull.
Last week, Page Six reported that Katy Tur, Olbermann's girlfriend, recently started reporting for WNBC—a second gig in addition to her work at the NBC-owned Weather Channel—and wondered if Olbermann had anything to do with "boosting the news cutie's ascension." Indeed he did, a source tells us. We hear the new side gig followed Olbermann's complaints to NBC execs about Tur's role at the Weather Channel.... Olbermann, we understand, informed his bosses that the job was putting Tur "in danger" and he was deeply concerned about her safety, making it clear that he expected her to be reassigned. That will happen eventually.
See? This guy just confirmed that the NY Post lied when they said that Keith Olbermann spoke to someone at WNBC about a second new job for Katy. Keith Olbermann's Ego doesn't deal with low-level peons. He went straight to the top. And as you can see, Katy Tur now has two jobs at GE-NBC-Universal instead of just one. And in this economy, honestly, who doesn't need more than one job? The Ego is a firm believer in loading up on work. There's Countdown, the NFL gig, the Baseball Nerd, another book in the works, and of course, blogging at Daily Kos in addition to the Ego's duties in running MSNBC and putting the GE-NBC-Universal management types in their place. That's a full-time job right there. And of course, being God's Gift to the world the universe. As it should be.

You didn't really mind that Katy might be injured or killed while chasing tornadoes, you were upset because it took her away from her other "duties" for too long.

But you totally weren't lying when you said you spoke to no one at WNBC to get Katy another job. You spoke to someone at NBC. Completely different!

Keith Olbermann's Ego said...

My point exactly Marinara! The Ego would never, ever bother himself to speak to low-level peons at WNBC, the Ego goes straight to the top to hook up Katy with a job (because God knows there's no way she'd ever get one without the Ego).

Looking at the women that I know the Ego has dated, he’s definitely attracted to women with um, shall we say..."strong features".

I say he's got a Mama complex looking at pics of her (both young and old) and women we know he's been with: Laura Ingraham, Rachel Lobo, Katy. 2 out of 3 might have been blondes (bottle or otherwise) but they all had that certain look if you know what i mean.

They all look alike in the dark.

marinara said...

Ed, haven't you seen the pics of Karma Bites? She's a cutie, too.

Ed The Horse of Course of Course said...

There are pics of the filly called Karma Bites? Where Marinara?

Keith Olbermann's Ego said...

Marinara: This isn't show and tell. Unless of course it's a pic of The Ego.

marinara said...

I don't remember where I got the pics. They were posted at someone's blog, and I just copied them. Here you are! :)

Thanks for THAT stroll down memory lane Marinara.

"They all look alike in the dark."

You are a naughty, naughty ego, Ego... ;)

The Karmabites girl is much better looking than any of the women he's had before (including his current gold-digger)...but she sure does look quite young. How old was Miss Bites when she hooked up with Olbermann?

LK said...

Karmabites looks 100X better than either Laura Ingrham or Rebecca Lobo or Katy Tur that's for sure. But to me, Katy looks 10 years older than her stated age. High mileage perhaps?

Anonymous said...

Karma is BY FAR the best looking...and the Ego had to go and mess it up with her.

But new options will no doubt be on the horizon, since you've stolen those glasses from that guy in the Buggles (oh yes, I date myself here) and they are veritable chick magnets.

marina said...

Karma is Cuban, or part Cuban. Maybe that's why Keith didn't want her.

LK said...

Wasn't Lobo also at least part Hispanic?

Keith Olbermann's Ego said...

Please, the suggestion that the Ego is a bigot wounds.

TR said...

Come to think of it, didn't he leave Karmabites saying that his aunt had died? Wow he never wastes an opportunity to use a dead person for an excuse does he?

marinara said...

You're right, TR! But he didn't try to act all broken up about it or anything. He just told her he had to go to the funeral. Then he never called.
