Keith Olbermann's Ego

These Guys Have all the Fun Indeed

2011-05-17T09:51:00.007-04:00

So there's much buzz about this new book on ESPN. And as this exerpt proves, The greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego was living large and in charge back in the day (BTW this exerpt should also prove to some of the fanboyz and girlz out there that the Ego doesn't just quote Shakespeare but also has a working vocabulary that most certainly incorporates quite a few four-letter words). But if you really want to know where and how the Ego got his smooth moves with the ladies you have to look at the book's outtakes. First there is the epic story of The Ego's old high school buddy Chris Berman.

And this charming little anecdote reveals the true meaning of Play Ball!

Good to see the traditions still continue to this very day at ESPN too.

Sure GQ has a warning that these aren't true but come on you know their lawyers just made them say that right?

Whose Ego is Bigger? Keith Olbermann's or Katy Tur's?

2011-04-14T08:09:00.004-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego got Katy Tur an agent (his own) and a job at WNBC-TV in New York City, the number one media market in the nation, despite her overwhelming lack of a) talent, b) experience, and c) gratitude as evidenced in this twitter post from Katy Tur's ego. Now she's unhappy with her "name" being associated with Keith Olbermann's? Maybe she should have thought about that before she decided to take the express route to a television news career. Here Katy--a song (and a career) for you:

This is Why the Ladies Love Keith Olbermann's Ego.

Jeff Daniels to be Keith Olbermann's Alter-Ego On Aaron Sorkin HBO Series?

2011-03-21T21:01:00.007-04:00

So we all know that once upon a time Aaron Sorkin wrote a show called Sports Night. Which of course, is a thinly veiled account of the greatness that was Keith Olbermann's Ego's life during his ESPN days. Which character you ask? Why both of them. Because as you know, the Ego is so much man that not just one fictional character can contain his greatness.
The series ended, sadly, after just two seasons but now Aaron Sorkin has been inspired by the Greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego brilliant cable news career to write a new series based on The Ego for HBO. And who you might ask is going to play the Greatness? Rumor has it that Jeff Daniels is now in negotiations for the part.
Excuse the Ego for saying this, but we're just not getting the resemblence.

***Update***: Something called New York magazine has dared to disagree with Keith Olbermann's Ego.

Jeff Daniels is currently in talks to take the lead role in Aaron Sorkin's HBO pilot about a difficult, smart cable-news anchor, modeled on the likes of Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, and Brian Williams. Daniels's jerkiest role to date, in Squid and the Whale, was such a believable, aggravating, nuanced performance of jerkiness that we're sure he'll be a great fit.

***Update #2***The Egotwit has weighed in on this entire casting situation.

Keith Olbermann's Ego needs Diversions

2011-03-14T22:18:00.006-04:00

Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of Keith Olbermann's father's death. Here you can see The Ego Twit dispensing advice on how to move past the death of a loved one. Diversions. Yes. Diversions. Like these Twitter Friends of Keith Olbermann.

Now we're not saying that all of these lovely ladies are "dear friends" of the Ego's like Katy Tur but you can bet a lot of them would like to be. Luckily for them, Keith Olbermann's Ego loves nothing better than "diversions".

The Ladies Love Keith Olbemann's Ego

2011-02-18T12:58:00.003-05:00

and the Ego loves ~~himself~~ them too. And that's why Keith Olbermann's alter-ego's ego (?) on Aaron Sorkin's new HBO series, modeled 100% after your very own Ego will be a ladies man and then some. Isn't that right Erin?

The Daily got its hands on the still-untitled script, which Sorkin researched by spending time with Olbermann before the newsman ditched MSNBC for Current; here, the Olbermann stand-in is named "Will McAllister," and he's a network-taunting liberal who likes the ladies. In fact, the show opens with McAllister returning from a sexy St. Lucia vacation with ESPN's Erin Andrews, only to find — in a twist that will surprise no one who has watched an Aaron Sorkin show before — that his show's new executive producer is his former love Mackensie McHale.

According to the Daily, in the pilot episode we learn that ~~Keith Olbermann~~ Will McAllister has alot of hate-filled email and a reputation of being difficult to work with, even asking, "Are you telling me that Bin Laden is easier to work with than me?" Sounds like the Ego we all know and love right ladies?

Chain Keith Olbermann's Ego?

2011-02-11T15:41:00.004-05:00

Who the hell does Al Gore think he is? I mean sure the guy has an Oscar and a Nobel Prize and was the Vice-President but come on, telling Keith Olbermann to chain The Ego (in all its greatness) at the door of Current TV?

The ex-MSNBC'er has been told to chain up his considerable ego at the door."No doubt Al is very happy to have Keith join his network," one Current TV insider tells me. "Yet Keith is a double-edged sword. He'll attract a huge amount of media and viewers to the network, but let's be honest, he's a total pain in the ass to deal with."

Obviously, Al does not understand that the Ego is what makes Keith Olbermann, THE Ego. This does not bode well for either Keith Olbermann or The Ego.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Exits Stage Left

2011-01-21T21:14:00.004-05:00

It's a wrap. After eight tumultuous years on air at MSNBC, Keith Olbermann's Ego exits, stage Left.

MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

There's a certain implied "Don't let the door hit you on your ass" in that statement, no?

Television has never been known for its gratitude however, and the Comcast effect must already be in place at MSNBC for The Ego to exit so quickly after they took over.

This blog has snarked on Keith's world-famous Ego for the last couple of years. We've had some good laughs at his expense and we thank him for never suing his for it. While not always thrilled with the bravo and bluster, and while we could have done without some of his excesses and obsessions, we now end our relationship, such as it was, as a fan.

Good luck to Keith Olbermann's and his world-famous Ego in all that he does from this point forward and thank you for being a voice in the wilderness for the eight years. So here's a song in your honor, Mr. Olbermann.

Back to Work for Keith Olbermann's Ego

2011-01-03T10:36:00.002-05:00

It's a New Year and it's Back to Work for the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. As we kick off 2011 it's important that you remember one thing above all else: it's all about me.

Happy New Year from Keith Olbermann's Ego!

2010-12-29T20:27:00.004-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego and his very dear friends here would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Keith Olbermann's Ego will Live Forever

2010-12-21T15:53:00.005-05:00

Many people admire the Ego's physique (aka "more to love") and now the Ego has proof that his preferred workout method leads to a longer life. Sez so right here.

Frankfurt, Germany, December 6 -- A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.

According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women's breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years.

She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out."

A five-year research on 500 men Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so.

At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery [a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body.] disease.

Sexual desire linked to better blood circulation The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health.

Weatherby explained the concept stating, "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthy.

"Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."

In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes.

The Ego will never die.

Keith Olbermann's Ego-Twit has Returned.

2010-12-20T09:21:00.005-05:00

After a few days protesting Sady Doyle's pathetic accusations, Keith Olbermann's Ego Twit has returned in victory. As it should be.

Update: Gawker and their shitty little comments remain on the Ego's enemies list for obvious reasons.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Twit has left Twitter

2010-12-16T17:07:00.013-05:00

Now see what you evil mean twitter types have done to the fragility that is Keith Olbermann's now-shattered Ego? Keith Olbermann has left Twitter. See, it even says so on Huffington Post. The Ego doesn't tweet just for the fun of it people. I thought by now that people would understand the immense neediness that is Keith Olberman's Ego. How dare anyone ever question what the Ego (or the Ego-Twit in this case) says or does? See what happens? Twitter accounts get closed.

Olbermann began receiving a flood of heated criticism on Twitter for hosting Moore and for retweeting Jagger's post. In response, Olbermann apologized for any offense he had caused, but denied that he had done anything else wrong.

Again, people should know the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego well-enough by now to know that the Ego should never, ever be criticised. For anything. Ever. What part of that is so difficult for people to understand?
And this was even after the Ego-Twit tried to, sorta, kinda, apologize.
Rape has touched my family, directly and savagely, and if anybody thinks I have addressed it without full sensitivity, then that assessment is the one that counts, and I apologize. But these accusations that I "revealed" an accuser's identity by retweeting Bianca Jagger's link, or that I 'shamed' an accuser by asking a question about the prosecution of a man governments are trying to bury, or that I do not 'understand' charges that have yet to be presented in their final form, reflect exactly the kind of rushing to judgment of which I'm accused, and merit the same kind of apology I have just given.

The Ego sacrificed himself by revealing that a female relative was raped and that it took her 20 years to "get over it". See the lengths to which the Ego is willing to go to on Twitter to simply share with you ungrateful bastards (and bitches--gotta keep it co-ed right?) even if it hurts ~~himself~~ a relative in the process? That's giving people. What finer definition of sacrifice could you possibly find than someone willing to use a relative's savage rape for his own exoneration of accusations that he retweeted the names of the women allegedly raped by the WikiLeaks dweeb which were posted in a retweet of Bianca Jagger's?

So The Ego has decided to stop tweeting. It's your own fault really. That and Bianca Jagger. And possibly Michael Moore. And of course, all those evil Twitter types. The Ego hopes you're happy. Now how will he amuse himself? More importantly, how will he receive the praise and adoration which is so vital to his utter survival?

And Gawker can bite Keith Olbermann's Ego. I hope they're hacked. What? They were already? How could they tell the difference? They are hacks, not like the genius that is Keith Olbermann's Ego.

Update: And what is it with women trying to use the Ego to get their 15 minutes of fame? Isn't it enough that I got Katy Tur a job at WNBC despite her obvious lack of talent at just about any and everything? And now Salon is on the Ego's enemies list too for printing this idiot's self-serving blather. The Ego is still waiting for her apology--there are NO charges against Aussange, just complaints.

Keith Olbermann's Ego really likes oysters and of course, himself

2010-11-15T20:49:00.002-05:00

But do you know who is not getting the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego? The suits at NBC. Howie Kurtz breaks it all down for you here.

The Rumors of Keith Olbermann's Ego's Demise

2010-11-07T21:16:00.002-05:00

are greatly exaggerated. The Ego returns Tuesday. Yes, this Tuesday. Be there. Boost those ratings minions.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Apologize? For What?

2010-11-07T11:40:00.004-05:00

Apologize?

Network sources tell Playbook that Keith Olbermann was suspended because he refused to deliver an on-camera mea culpa, which would have allowed him to continue anchoring “Countdown.” Olbermann told his bosses he didn’t know he was barred from making campaign contributions, although he is resisting saying that publicly. Olbermann may not hold as many cards as he thinks. He makes $7 million a year and MSNBC’s prime time is not as dependent on him as it was before the addition of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, who make considerably less.

Seriously? They want Keith Olbermann's Ego to a-p-o-l-o-g-i-z-e? Don't those pinheads at MSNBC get that the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego is never, ever wrong? And to admit it on air? Are these people smoking crack? They should apologize to Keith Olbermann's ego and the Ego simply refuses to back down to pinheads. As it should be.

So anything new about Keith Olbermann's Ego lately?

2010-11-05T19:04:00.001-04:00

As you know, having this blog seemed rather redunant given the EgoTwit's daily comments on Twitter. But suddenly, the EgoTwit has gone silent. Did NBC take that away from him too? Poor Keith Olbermann's Ego. Phil Griffin simply does not get the genius that is (or is that was) Keith Olbermann's Ego.

Keith Olbermann's Ego can Communicate with Dogs and Cats

2010-10-02T20:31:00.005-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego is so brilliant that he can communicate with animals. No really. See?
It says so right there on Twitter. So in Honor of the Ego's Ego's (or is it the Ego Twit?) we give you this musical tribute to the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ability to Talk to Animals.

Keith Olbermann's Summer of Love Continues--Keith's New Lady Friend

2010-09-14T22:43:00.004-04:00

Photo Taken August 30, 2010

Look at this babe. Yeah, Keith Olbermann's Ego loves the babes. And the babes love Keith Olbermann's ~~money~~him. And who wouldn't love the hunk of burning love that is Keith Olbermann's Ego?

Keith Olbermann's Ego's Stunning Mystery Companion

2010-09-02T17:31:00.005-04:00

The Ego loves the Post. No seriously. It's 100% true that Keith Olbermann's Ego love the NY Post when they talk about the Ego's latest hot babe like they did here.

Keith "Uberdork" Olbermann was showing off a new brunette girlfriend at Monday night's Yankees game. The bombastic MSNBC commentator was spotted by our spy "with his arm round the woman, who looked a lot younger than him, in her early 30s. He was taking pictures of them together on his cellphone and chatting to her throughout the game," causing some fans to speculate, "She must have been secretly wearing earplugs." Olbermann split with his much younger WNBC reporter girlfriend, Katy Tur,more than a year ago.

Okay so they could have dropped the "Uberdork" but come on would the Ego be banging these beautiful babes if he was truly a Uberdork? Anywho, the Ego loves the love and since this is the summer of love for the Ego, The Ego has dedided to dedicate this tune to his latest babe.

Glenn Beck or Dan Abrams?

2010-08-31T11:21:00.004-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego cannot decide which one he hates more. Of course longtime defenders of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego will know that Dan Abrams is a sworn enemy of the Ego and created a website just to discredit Keith Olbermann's Ego (wait, no that was Tucker Carlson). Whatever. Abrams and his crew of cretins have struck again, dissing the greatness that is the Ego and his brilliantly funny comedic spoof on Glenn Beck's Fox Fan Rally.

This is just uncomfortable and embarrassing and in the future Keith Olbermann should avoid trying to do Glenn Beck. Oof. In one of those instances where you wonder how come a producer didn’t step in and say this is really not a good idea, last night Olbermann played the voice of God (I think) in a skit that awkwardly depicted him playing the “voice Beck is hearing” from a “secret backstage” area in some sort of weird upper class accent

Obviously they are not fans of Family Guy (which of course gets the greatness that is the Ego and have wisely used the Ego's talents in the past to "voice" a character).

You know what would have been slightly less awkward and uncomfortable to watch? Keith Olbermann eating a big bowl of sour grapes while crying into his baby blanket. At least it would have been honest.

Oh yeah? Keith Olbermann's Ego will tell you what's honest and true: Dan Abrams and Mediaite suck great big giant bowls of sour grapes because they are insanely jealous of the huge, huge talent that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Both Tucker Carlson and Dan Abrams were fired from MSNBC. They blame the Ego for their dismissal and cannot be trusted or believed. Consider the source my friends, consider the source.

Keith Olbermann's Ego's Dictionary

2010-08-26T10:04:00.005-04:00

"My Dear Friend": a phrase favored by the Ego when describing former fuck buddies.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Doesn't Even Like football

2010-08-05T20:42:00.001-04:00

so why would the Ego care that he's just been kicked to the end zone at Football Night in America?

Keith Olbermann's Ego, EPs, Blind Items, and Blogs.

2010-07-19T17:04:00.006-04:00

So about a month ago, this idiot at Inside Cable News decides he'll run a not-so-blind item.

Which cable news show may be showing signs of internal trouble? Rumors are flying that the show’s EP has “had it” and another key staffer is leaving the program…

The Ego would like to point out that the denizens of said blog mostly guessed Beck.

But today the little bitch reveals on twitter that it was the Ego he was referring to all along and hints broadly that there is a real story there if one wishes to dig deep enough. Attn: Mr. ICN: it's 2010--no one does investigative journalism anymore, it's dead, dead, dead and if it's such a good story why don't you break it your own damn self? Oh and here's what the SOB is citing as "proof" that blind item was about the Ego. So the Ego's EP, Izzy Povich is leaving. Like the Ego cares?

And of course Dan Abrams and his shitty little site are there to blame the Ego too.

Remember Keith Olbermann Fans: These bitches are all just jealous of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. They aren't Kings of Broadcast Journalism like Keith Olbermann, they are a bunch of mice who run blogs. Jealous, bitter, little mice. Never, ever believe anything that these idiots have to say about the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego--unless of course it happens to be true. And if it's true and flattering, believe away but if it's true and not-so-flattering, it's always lies-got it? Good. Nothing to see here, move on people; the Ego has.

Oh and that crap on TVNewser about more than one person leaving the Ego's show because of the Ego? Lies, all lies. Except you know, the parts that are true.

And no, this had nothing to do with the Ego's two-week vacation (and even if it did, the Ego would never, ever admit it). Remember people, there is a reason all three of those websites are on the Ego's enemies list.

Keith Olbermann vs. Tucker Carlson

2010-07-15T21:33:00.002-04:00

Tucker Carlson. Seriously? Seriously? Listen you little bow-tie wearing bitch, Keith Olbermann's Ego will end up owning you and yes, Keitholbermann.com.

Keith Olbermann's Ego has Left Twitter! Sorta Kinda Maybe--Not.

2010-07-11T12:09:00.006-04:00

Yes, the Ego-Twit is up and out of there. Except you know, for the post he made 16 hours after he announced he was leaving. So leaving equals overnight. Apparently there was fan-drama involving spelling/grammar usage, a fan who organized some sort of Mom boycott, and a 12-year old boy. The Ego really doesn't have time to dive into the particulars. I'm sure however that the minions will be more than happy to fill in the details, it's their job after all to hang on the Ego Twit's every tweet, as it should be.

Thanks to Greyfawn for the tip.

Keith Olbermann's Ego has feelings too: Why Keith Olbermann's Ego has Abandoned Daily Kos

2010-06-17T13:33:00.005-04:00

Which is why Keith Olbermann's Ego has denounced Daily Kos and left it in protest after a mean commenter ~~made him cry~~ made him angry. Of course Gawker is having a field day with this. Now the Ego demands that all Keith Olbermann fans immediately leave Daily Kos in protest (btw, the Ego loves the mash notes supporters are leaving on DK begging him to return).

Update 6/22/10: Of course, the Ego reserves the right to change his mind.

Vote for your Favorite.

2010-06-14T08:29:00.006-04:00

A new post. And this time you get to vote on your favorite Keith Olbermann Twitter Stalker. Now we know that the Ego-Twit likes to complain about his stalkers but come on, let's get real here. That's Egospeak for "I check my @KeithOlbermann every day to see just how adoring and sycophantic my fans truly are." Because as we know, that's how the Ego loves it. So vote for your favorite Ego-Twit stalker. Will it be the sweet but desperate Donna? The very busy NightOwl? Or someone else whose obsession has escaped the Ego's attention? Sadly, the Ego himself is not eligible for this competition (because as we know, the Ego is the Ego's biggest fan--as it should be).

The Musings of the Ego-Twit

2010-05-04T11:00:00.002-04:00

New post to discuss the most recent (and often incoherent) ramblings of the Ego-Twit.

A Public Service Announcement for Keith Olbermann Fans

2010-04-30T10:23:00.003-04:00

As a public service announcement, Keith Olbermann's Ego sends this out to his crazy, cat-loving fans. Yeah, the Ego knows your out there. You and all 97 of your crazy cats. Let this serve as a warning to you all. Also, a reminder that Keith Olbermann's Ego is very allergic to cats. And dogs. But that doesn't mean he still doesn't love pussy...cats.

The New York Times, Danny Deutsch, Colonoscopies and Other Pains in the Ass

2010-04-21T18:45:00.005-04:00

So Brian Stelter of the New York Times, Danny Deutsch, and Colonoscopies are the causes of today's pain in the ass for the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. So Deutsch is whining like a bitch about how somehow the Ego was responsible for getting his lousy show yanked. Why does he think that just because he criticized the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego that I would do such a thing? I mean, just because I ~~run~~ own MSNBC doesn't mean I have any power over programming decisions. I mean sure the Ego owns MSNBC but it's my bitch Phil Grifin that takes the blame for the Ego in such matters, as it should be. And Stelter, don't even get me started. Here's what the Ego-Twit had to say about Stelter and this Ego heartedly agrees.

Sad to say, @BrianStelter was an innovative and hardworking blogger. He's in over his head where he is now,

And then there's Gawker and Joe Scarborough. They just can't wait to complain about the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Scarborough's just a Republican punk. He can't even bring himself to say the Ego's name (and if he does, trust me, my buddy Phil will be taking care of him just like he did Deutsch. And Dan Abrams. And Rita Cosby and.....a bunch of other people whose names escape the Ego's mind at the moment). Now back to the subject the Ego loves to talk about most of all: The Ego. And the Ego-Twit's real pain-in-the-ass for today, and just as some predicted here once the Ego-Twit got a Twitter account, it was bound to happen, discussion of the Ego-Twit's bowel movements. Don't say this blog didn't warn you it was coming. At least this Ego has some discretion where such matters are concerned. That's more that can be said for the real thing.

Keith Olbermann's Ego-Twit's Tweets in the Library of Congress

2010-04-16T18:45:00.000-04:00

It's no accident that a week after the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego-Twit began tweeting that the Library of Congress decided to being archiving every single tweet tweeted on Twitter (you try saying that three times fast). Now Keith Olbermann's Tweets will be perserved forevermore as evidence of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego (along with the Ego's well-known fascination with anything baseball, Yankees-related, and of course, hot young babes).

For all the many women who love Keith Olbermann

2010-04-13T10:48:00.006-04:00

especially those that Keith Olbermann's Ego might also love (or you know, whatever) in the past/present/future. Yeah, I'm talking to you Katy, and you Donna, and you Misha, Kellie, Janx, and my favorite black kitty-kat, Jean, Shannyn, Cynthia, and Rachel (No, not that Rachel). And any other woman with a spectacular rack whose name begins with A-Z that the Ego might have overlooked and will friend in the future. Let the games begin. Today is Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. And there is nothing the Ego loves more than ball season, (which if you're the Ego is every season if you catch my drift). Let the Games begin! The Ego is a free man once again and what he loves most of all is his freedom. And you know, hot chicks.

And yes, even you, Martha Stewart. You look pretty good still for a super old broad.

What's next for Keith Olbermann?

2010-04-12T18:15:00.001-04:00

What's next for The Ego's louder, more obnoxious, and much more needier alter-ego after this? Snaps of his latest bowel movement perhaps? Good God man, have some type of restraint and dignity.

What's the point really?

2010-04-12T09:25:00.003-04:00

Over the weekend Keith Olbermann's Ego has been doing a lot of thinking. In fact, the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego is thinking of giving up this blog.

Really, what's the point when Keith Olbermann's real Ego is on full display for the World to see over on Twitter?

The real Ego seems to be having a grand old time. And why wouldn't The Ego be happy? Look at all that fawning by fan girls (including the old, ugly ones), political nerds, fellow celebs, and other devotees and admirers. And by now, you all know that there's nothing that the Ego loves more than fawning. Lots and Lots of fawning. The more, the better. Particularly when they are from attractive, young, and willing females. Why The Ego even likes attention from his exes.

So this Ego is really pondering the need to continue on with this Blog in light of the real Keith Olbermann's Ego's newfound embrace of all things Twitter and of course Ego. And hot chicks. Lots of hot chicks.

You May Now Tweet Keith Olbermann

2010-04-08T20:56:00.006-04:00

Dear fan girls and potential stalkers. Keith Olbermann's Ego now has a Twitter page. Please feel free to direct message the Ego if you're under the age of 25, very attractive, and ready to rock the Ego's world. Those interested in using The Ego to advance their own career need not bother. And no neo-cons either. Unless, you know, you're really hot and of course, under 25.

Add People Magazine to the list.

The enemies list that is. How the hell did Rachel Maddow and her frumpy girlfriend get a piece in People magazine? Why didn't they want to do an article on The Ego instead? Keith Olbermann's Ego after all gets better ratings that Maddow. And who owns MSNBC I ask you? And The Ego ~~has~~ had a super-skinny, much younger girlfriend than Rachel managed to snag. Obviously People Magazine does not get the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego.

This blog belongs to Keith Olbermann's Ego

2010-04-03T10:24:00.004-04:00

and not Katy Tur's dammit. So why are you people looking up information about Katy Tur's Ego and not Keith Olbermann's Ego? My good friend Flowergirl over at this website recommended a while back that I get a stat counter for this blog. Let me tell you, it was love at first site for Keith Olbermann's Ego because there's nothing the Ego loves more than checking out who is checking The Ego out. But lately the Ego has noticed that more people are landing at this website while looking for info on Katy Tur than they are on The Ego. This hurts the Ego deeply.

Key search terms over the last week have included Katy Tur, Katy Tur breakup, Keith Olbermann and Katy Tur breaking up, Did Keith Olbermann and Katy Tur break up, Keith Olbermann girlfriend breakup, Katy Tur Weather Channel, Katy Tur + Keith Olbermann + broken up, Who is Keith Olbermann dating in 2010, Katy Tur Anchorwoman, Katy Tur girlfriend, Keith Olbermann girlfriend, Tur, Olbermann break-up, and my personal favorite, lou dobbs is fat. Okay that last one had nothing to do with the Ego but neither do all of these damned searches about Katy Tur!

Who cares about Katy Tur? Certainly not Keith Olbermann's Ego anymore. Sure once upon a time The Ego dedicated one of his books to her, even revealed that she called him "Bear" (it sounded a lot classier than Sugar Daddy the Ego realizes now). But that was then. This is now and the Ego is a single man once again. Let Katy Tur's Ego get her own damn blog and she can update all of you on her status. But this blog belongs to me, the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. And this blog has absolutely nothing to do with Katy Tur (not any more); it is all about me me me, Keith Olbermann's Ego, as it should be.

(And confidentially to those Olbermann Ego fans in Toledo, Ohio, Lancaster, Pennsylvania and some town in Texas the Ego has never heard of: Do you people have lives? I mean 30 plus visits in 24 hours is a little obsessive don't you think? Ha ha. Just kidding. The Ego loves that you're so obsessed with the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Keep it up. Hell, make this your homepage if you want: The Ego enjoys people who are as obsessed with Keith Olbermann as Keith Olbermann's Ego is obsessed with its own greatness).

Keith Olbermann's Ego returns

2010-03-29T13:35:00.003-04:00

No, really. Keith Olbermann's Ego is really back on air and this time it's for the entire week (minus Good Friday, Passover, and any other holiday the Ego can claim). Watch people. The Ego needs the ratings. And the love. The Ego needs to know you still love him. And there's no better way to do that than to invite over your friends and family to watch the show with you tonight.

But only for one night

2010-03-23T20:27:00.002-04:00

What? You expected Keith Olbermann's Ego to stick around for an entire week of shows? The Ego will be back if and when the Ego feels the time is right. Right now, the time is not right. But watch Larry what's his name until the Ego returns.

Keith Olbermann's Ego is Back

2010-03-22T16:15:00.002-04:00

In the house, on the air, tonight 8pm central/5pm on the left coast. Be there people--it's time for another very special comment. Yep, on Health Care. And yes, plugged on Daily Kos too.

Katy Tur's Ego is Looking For Love

2010-03-20T08:53:00.004-04:00

Yep that's right bitches. The greatness that is Katy Tur's Ego is up and out of here. Check it: http://www.weather.com/outlook/videos/best-airport-to-find-a-mate-16151?from=search_siteresults<1>. You didn't really expect Katy's Ego to stick around after Keith's Ego hooked her up with not one, but two sweet jobs did you? And stay with him and help him nurse his dying father? What do I look like? Wait, don't answer that. Where was I? Oh yeah, freedom. Sweet freedom. Now Katy Tur's Ego is out on her own and looking for ~~another sugar daddy~~ love. Or whatever. Sure I'll miss those sweet seats at Yankee Stadium but living with Keith Olbermann's Ego? Hell to the no. Katy's Ego doesn't have to do *that* ever again (and by that, I mean Keith's Ego--ha ha). And guys? If you're broke-ass just out of college, you need not apply. I'm looking for rich and influential. Isn't that what love is all about?

Thanks Bunny for the tip.

RIP Theodore Olbermann

2010-03-13T18:38:00.000-05:00

Sincerest condolesences to the Olbermann family at this difficult time.

It's called Strategy people.

2010-03-09T20:18:00.004-05:00

So how does Keith Olbermann's Ego keep his name at the forefront and garner press while taking a ~~vacation~~ time-off to be with his ~~baseball column and Ebay~~ ill-father. Easy people: start a media feud with a semi-famous sports writer. Unconventional, yes, normally The Ego likes to strike up and bat at a bigger media target, your Bill O'Reillys, Rupert Murdochs, etc. etc. But baseball season is coming up and it's time once again for the Ego to solidify his bonafides as The Sports Authority. So the Ego takes what he can get and it's this punk Simmons. And it's already paying off, see, comparisons to Howard Cosell! Ignore this one. It's from that little pesky website that Dan Abrams runs. All lies. And I don't know what this idiot is talking about, Keith Olbermann's Ego doesn't even own a horse. And Deadspin, just know that Deadspin is run by the same people who run Gawker. They are on the Enemy List. But look, they all mention the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego and that's what it's all about people: getting attention when The Ego ~~can't be bothered with showing up to work~~ is nursing a sick loved one. The Ego particularly likes it when people point out (quite rightly) that Simmons is doomed because to engage in a battle of wits you have to have them to begin with and the Ego is packing people. And obviously Keith Olbermann's Ego has won this pissing match because this little bitch Simmons has already cried uncle.

Look Fast--this won't last for long.

2010-03-05T23:22:00.002-05:00

So right-wing Republicans and teabaggers have taken to the Baseball Nerd blog to demean the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's ego. Where is the editor to delete those comments? Fire that idiot immediately!

Keith Olbermann is Not Flaming Out

2010-03-01T21:25:00.003-05:00

Nor is he a liability to MSNBC. No matter what these idiots have to say. As always my dear minions, please let the people at this substandards website know how much you love and care about the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego.

No Keith's Ego tonight on Countdown

2010-02-26T15:47:00.002-05:00

Sorry fans of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego which is usually on full display every night at 8pm Eastern on your TV screens. Keith's out again tonight. For those of you already in withdrawal, go to Youtube and pull down all of the clips there of Keith and Countdown. That should tide you over until Keith's return. In the meantime, please revisit Keith's Special Comment regarding his father from Wednesday night's show.

Witness the greatness that is Katy Tur's Ego

2010-02-26T15:18:00.001-05:00

It's Katy Tur's Ego Live and in color straight from Vancounver and the 2010 Winter Olympics. It's just a matter of time before I take over MSNBC bitches! And you know what anchor chair is calling my name? That 8pm time slot. So for now just enjoy this video and imagine how great an entire hour would be with Katy Tur's ego.

Keith Olbermann is not a Narcissitic Outrage Junkie

2010-02-25T09:27:00.005-05:00

Pay no mind to Gawker. They have a well-documented history of hating the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Obviously, they are all Republican right-wingnuts over there at Gawker.

And Keith Olbermann's Ego hasn't lost a damn thing thank you very much Dan Abrams. No wonder MSNBC fired you. You're dumb and so is your toupee and your website which exists purely to mock the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's much more superior career. But don't worry Danny Boy, I don't think anyone will notice your hairplugs/hairpiece/whatever the hell it is you call perched on top of your skull (dead rat maybe)?

Dan Abrams must be stopped.

2010-02-24T15:11:00.002-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego respectfully asks his minions to please heap their dislike and scorn upon Dan Abrams and his pitiful little website which continues to tell lie after lie about the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Get busy minions and show 'em how much you love the Ego.

Could Life Get Any Better for Keith Olbermann's Ego?

2010-02-17T08:19:00.002-05:00

Spring Training is about to begin (and Katy Tur's Ego is over 3,000 miles away in Canada at the Vancouver Olympics). It just does not get any better than that. So life is good for Keith Olbermann's Ego but then again it's always good being the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego.

Keith Olbermann is NOT bleeding.

2010-02-04T15:52:00.000-05:00

No matter what those know-nothing bloggers at Dan Abrams little website have to say. Remember, if it does not come from Keith Olbermann's Ego, it is NOT true.

The NY Post Continues to Hate on Keith Olbermann's Ego

2010-02-04T12:56:00.002-05:00

Of course Murdoch's rag would not have a single good thing to say about Keith Olbermann's Ego. Cancel the Ego? The EGO made MSNBC what it is today. Without Keith Olbermann's Ego what would MSNBC be? I can tell you: dead air.

The LA Times is now on Keith Olbermann's Hate List

2010-02-03T21:34:00.005-05:00

Because they tell horrible lies about the supposed demise of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. And what's up with the pic of O'Reilly? See how stupid they are? They don't even run a picture of Keith Olbermann's Ego! (And for the record, the LA Times was already on the Ego's enemies list because of their continuous disses against the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego: they are obviously on the GOP/Fox payroll).

Lies. Lies. Lies.

2010-01-30T10:10:00.004-05:00

Don't believe the lies people. Believe Keith Olbermann's Ego. Countdown and Keith Olbermann's Ego still rule cable broadcasting, idolized by ~~millions~~ hundreds of thousands.

It's Keith Olbermann's Birthday today

2010-01-27T12:54:00.000-05:00

Happy Birthday to Keith Olbermann and his Ego too!

Keith Olbermann's Ego Runs MSNBC

2010-01-24T16:30:00.000-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego ~~runs~~ owns MSNBC. Sure the Ego isn't listed as President of MSNBC. Officially, Phil Griffin holds that title. But longtime fans of The Ego know that Phil and The Ego go way, way, way back. The Ego has always been that little SOB's boss and for the record, still is.

But earlier this week it seems that Joe "How about that dead intern in my office" Scarborough decided to tweet about The Ego attacking nude-centerfold model turned GOP politican Brown soemthing or other (don't expect the Ego to remember specifics like full names of these neocons. Seen one, you've seen 'em all). Anyway where was I? Oh right. The Ego called Brown out for what he is: a sexist, racist, homophobic, porno-loving GOPer. Scarborough, in his official role as GOP apologist, decided to name-call The Ego in return. Naturally The Ego was not amused. So Phil "Butt Boy" Griffin had to issue this statement to all employees of MSNBC (except you know, to the Ego because the Ego of course ~~really runs~~ owns MSNBC.

We have many strong personalities with differing, passionate opinions, but it is important to remember that we are all on the same team. I want to reiterate my long-standing policy: We do not publicly criticize our colleagues. This kind of behavior is unprofessional and will not be tolerated. Let me be clear: I encourage you to keep doing what you do best. Give the viewers your perspective and a vigorous debate on the issues they care about. But do not turn substantive differences into personal ones.

Well said Phil. I couldn't have said it better had I written it myself (and The Ego doesn't like to brag but, well, The Ego may have written this statement. Just saying). Phil also further clarified The Ego's standing as owner of MSNBC when he told TV Newser:

"An important rule was broken. I spoke to Keith and he said in the spirit of teamwork and the free flow of ideas, he didn't think it warranted punishment or suspension. I also talked to Joe and he apologized to me," said the MSNBC president, adding, "That's why I made the decision that this didn't rise to the level of punishment, but I felt it was necessary to reiterate my long-standing policy."

See who thought that Scarborough's insult to The Ego didn't warrant punishment? The Ego. I so rule.

Gawker and Mediaite remain dead to Keith Olbermann's Ego

2010-01-24T10:45:00.004-05:00

And for the record, both Gawker and Mediaite remain dead (and on the Ego's enemies list, natch) to the Ego. Clearly they do not get the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Furthermore, they refuse to support The Ego and can't seem to refrain from openly criticizing The Ego. That is a no-no in the Ego's world. Minions, you know what this means: man (and woman) your battle stations! Flood those sites with pro-Ego comments immediately! Defend the Ego! That is your greatest duty to The Ego as a Keith Olbermann Fan. Now get let's get busy people--I mean what else do you have to do except defend the Ego?

Jon Stewart is Dead to Keith Olbermann's Ego

2010-01-22T09:26:00.002-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego is sad to inform you that Jon Stewart and the Daily Show are now official enemies of Keith Olbermann's Ego. Why you ask? Because of this. Sir, how dare you mock the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego? Minions you know what to do: boycott The Daily Show immediately. Also, please inform Mr. Stewart that you do not appreciate his unwarranted attacks on The Ego. That is all.

Or not. As you can see, Keith Olbermann decided to make a statement to TVNewser. Note the sly slam at Stewart who simply does not compare to the statue of Academy Award Winning Actor (and screenwriter), Ben Affleck's impersonation of The Ego.

Research shows that Blondes feel entitled.

2010-01-18T12:15:00.002-05:00

Like this is something Keith Olbermann's Ego hadn't already figured out after living with Katy Tur's Ego? Park Avenue apartment, not one but two jobs courtesy of Keith Olbermann's Ego, yes, The Ego has found out way more than he ever wanted to find out about how entitled blondes feel.

Happy Almost Birthday to Me

2010-01-12T15:26:00.002-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego's Birthday is coming up. The Ego still likes to think of himself as a slim, trim 35, not the actual 51 that The Ego will be on 1/27. Anyway, The Ego knows that his fans love to shower him with gifts for his birthday. The Ego thought that he would provide you with some helpful hints to avoid buying loser birthday presents. Now where shall we begin?

Baseball Cards. That would be a negative. The Ego already has every baseball card ever made and do you honestly think that you mere mortals could hope to produce a card not already in The Ego's possession?

Playboy Magazines. The Ego already has a complete collection, but thanks for thinking of what The Ego likes to think about: naked women. If however, you are under the age of 25, and your measurements equal no more than 100 inches TOTAL (38-26-36 equals 100 ladies) and you have a face that won't stop a clock, then by all means, feel free to submit your photos to me for the Ego's personal enjoyment if you catch my drift. If you've got a butter face like most of Tiger Wood's rejects, then just send me the body shot instead. Then again, maybe something like this would be better altogether. They don't ask for half your fortune later.

Ties. Also a big no. The Ego has a very carefully color-coordinated wardrobe and given some of the ahem, interesting, choices made by fans in the past, The Ego does not want and will not wear your ugly-ass tie on air. Although The Ego is not ruling out using them for uhm, restraints.

Artwork Unless it's a signed original by a collectible artist or an authentic print again by a collectible artist, The Ego is not interested. This means no homemade shit that I've seen some of you posting on the internets. You make think you're Van Gogh but The Ego, having seen your artistic..uh..talents thinks it's more of a case of Van Gosh. And Van Don't. Please don't. Let The Ego re-emphasize that point. No homemade bumper stickers you think are clever. No photoshops. No reproductions of the Ego's likeness in Toast.

Food. The Ego will not accept any type of edible product unless it comes from a well-known third-party (Godiva) and arrives completely sealed for the Ego's protection. We do not want any repeat of the attempted-poisoning of The Ego that occurred a few yeas back.

Cologne. The Ego does not need to receive a box set of Old Spice or English Leather.

Books. Unless it's a signed first edition by a well-known author, again, The Ego is not interested. This goes double and triple for any books on baseball. Do you really think you're going to find a baseball book that The Ego doesn't already have in his possession and couldn't write better if he had been the author?

Bobbleheads. The Ego does like his Bobbleheads. But again, if you've got something you think is original and The Ego would like, it's already in the Ego's collection.

Anything Monty Python or A Christmas Story related. Please, if there's a valuable collectible of an Ego fav, don't you think that Keith Olbermann's Ego already has it and it is already placed in The Ego's archive along with the baseball cards and the old Playboy mags? I know, I know, you think you're special. You're different. You and you alone are capable of picking out a unique present for The Ego. Again, after many, many very bad presents, The Ego knows differently and would like to point out that these are the same post-menopausal, pathetic spinsters (that means over the age of 25) who also operate under the mistake delusion that they would make an ideal mate for The Ego. Again, WRONG.

Now that we've got the ground rules all squared away, The Ego would also like to remind you that he will not accept any gifts that come to his personal home address. Sure the address has been posted on the internets. I know you know where The Ego lives. That does not mean you're allowed to visit there or send mail to that address. Those who violate this rule will either be thrown in jail for stalking or your pathetic present will be thrown away without being opened. If you really think you have come up with a unique present, then by all means, send to The Ego's attention at 30 Rock in NYC. There The Ego has a team of willing interns who understand that it is their job to give their lives if necessary to protect The Ego by opening his mail and performing other assorted duties for the Ego.

Jay, Conan, or Keith Olbermann's Ego?

2010-01-09T19:49:00.004-05:00

So apparently NBC is trying to either get rid of Conan O'Brien or push back his show and give Leno another shot in the 11:30 time slot. Or someone could end up going to Fox. Now normally The Ego would advise anyone against going to Fox but in this case, The Ego has an idea. Keith Olbermann's Ego believes that what NBC should do is give the Ego his own talk show. I mean think about the possibilities. What does Keith Olbermann's Ego love to do more than anything else? No, the answer is NOT eat. It's talking people. Talking. And the Ego has always dreamed he could one day grow up and be just like Tom Snyder (go look him up people). So Keith Olbermann's Ego would like to invite one of these guys to go to Fox, please go to Fox. That way the Ego gets his own talk show.

Happy New Year

2009-12-31T22:37:00.002-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego would like to wish the fans a Happy New Year. Now what are your New Year's Resolutions (not that The Ego cares--the Ego just wants you to make sure that your first and foremost resolution in the New Year is to watch Countdown).

The NY Times does not understand Keith Olbermann

2009-12-28T21:08:00.003-05:00

The NY Times is clearly on a vendetta to attack MSNBC, which as you know, Keith Olbermann's Ego ~~runs~~ owns. Look, it was a holiday weekend. The Ego was on vacation. You don't expect the Ego to interupt his vacation to report on something so trivial as news do you? How would that benefit the Ego exactly? The Ego needs his rest people and so does everyone else at MSNBC. What's the big deal anyway exactly? CNN & Fox were/are all over this story. Go watch them or something instead of whining about how MSNBC wouldn't interupt their very fine (and highly rated) crime documentaries to cover something so trivial as a terrorist attack on the United States. The Ego will be back in 2010, and so will MSNBC's primetime. Whatever happens between now and then is not Keith Olbermann's Ego's concern. So just chill the hell out until then okay? I mean, priorities people, priorities. The Ego (and MSNBC) have them and clearly it's getting our vacation time in, not adding to the hysterical over-reporting exhibited by CNN and Fox News this weekend over some guy stuffing some explosives into his underpants. Hell, The Ego has his own explosions in his underpants every now and then too. You don't see MSNBC cutting into our taped program to report on that do you?

Happy Holidays

2009-12-21T15:42:00.006-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego sends you Seasons Greetings. The Ego likes using phrases like "Happy Holidays" and "Seasons Greetings" because it pisses off Bill "Say Merry Christmas or else you're a terrorist" O'Reilly and the other network of freaks over at Fox News.

I know you want to know where The Ego has been lately and the answer is none of your damn business. Just know that The Ego is a very very important man and has many important things to do, you know, like bidding on even more baseball memorabilia on Ebay. Where was I? Oh yeah, Happy Christmas, Merry Holidays, blah blah blah. Now what did you get me for Christmas because as you know, it's all about The Ego, as it should be. Now please excuse the Ego while he takes the rest of the year off, because it's an exhausting job being Keith Olbermann's Ego after all.

Hey Kids Guess What Time It Is?

2009-11-30T15:36:00.001-05:00

That's right children, The Ego's ratings haven't been good lately so you know what that means right? Yes, it's another Very Special Comment tonight on Countdown. Be there. The Ego needs the Ratings.

Olbermann's Ego Wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving

2009-11-26T10:00:00.000-05:00

and all the turkey you can eat. And speaking of turkeys--have you seen the ratings for NBC lately? Talk about turkeys. Good thing they have Keith Olbermann's Ego saving them huh?

Naked Keith Olbermann--You Know You Want It

2009-11-19T21:33:00.003-05:00

The Ego does not think that this is the most flattering representation of himself (or anyone else for that matter) but if you want to purchase this alleged work of art, it's up for bids on Ebay.

The Ego's Weekend

2009-11-15T21:27:00.006-05:00

I'm sure you're wondering what Keith Olbermann's Ego was doing this weekend and The Ego is happy to tell you that he was at the Joe Torre Safe at Home annual benefit dinner where The Ego was one of THE featured celebrities in attendance. Sure Joe no longer coaches the Ego's much-beloved Yankees but the Ego is all about helping the ......what the hell is this charity for again? Anywho charity. The Ego is all about the charity. Why the Ego's favorite charity is one Miss Katy Tur who benefits greatly from the Ego's charity. I mean honestly---does she think she'd have those jobs if it weren't for The Ego's charity?

Gawker remains on Keith Olbermann's Ego's Hit List

2009-11-06T15:40:00.000-05:00

and by Hit List the Ego is not referring to the top 40 but to those that the Ego has banished and/or exiled due to their failure to get the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego. Although the Ego has to credit Gawker for one thing: name-checking the Ego in their latest attack on moi.

It doesn't help Olbermann's case that he does in fact, have a hugely overgrown ego, regularly put on display.

But why do they say it like it's a bad thing? You can't stop Keith Olbermann's Ego, you can't even hope to contain it and that is as it should be.

Do you know who Mike Murphy is?

2009-11-05T15:30:00.000-05:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego will tell you exactly who Mike Murphy is: a guy who used to have a job providing GOP propaganda on MSNBC. But no more and never again. The Ego has spoken.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Presents the Many Talents of Katy Tur

2009-10-27T09:11:00.003-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego would now like to present to you a photo montage of the many talents of Katy Tur. Too bad she's rapidly aging what with another birthday and all. The Ego of course likes his women to be between the ages of 18-24.

Happy (Belated) Birthday to Katy Tur's Ego!

2009-10-26T15:35:00.001-04:00

So Katy Tur's birthday was last week and it simply slipped The Ego's mind. But you will have to excuse Keith Olbermann's Ego (and that's an order, not a request). The Ego was really, really busy, what with advising the President of the Free World, ~~watching the Yankees go to the World Series~~ working on both Countdown and Football Night in America. How could the Ego be expected to remember that Katy Tur's Ego was having (yet another) birthday. About that Katy: as you know, The Ego likes younger women (just so long as they are legal). And Katy, sadly, is aging. Can you really blame The Ego for wanting to forget she was getting yet another year older? The Ego on the other hand is timeless, like fine merlot.

Katy Tur Lawbreaker?

2009-10-23T06:30:00.004-04:00

So The Ego got a tip recently from someone who said that Katy Tur violated a NY state law when applying for her Voter's registration card. Seems she didn't use the Trump Palace addy where she kicks back in style with Keith Olbermann and the NY state law explicitly states that you must use the address where you currently reside, not the address of a Mail Boxes, Etc. as Tur did on her voter's reg app. The source also informed me that this is the same address that The Ego used as a mailing address on a legal document when buying another property at Trump Palace earlier this year (no word on whether that was illegal or not). For those who care documentation can be found here.

Keith Olbermann's Ego is a Saint

2009-10-22T16:06:00.000-04:00

Yeah, that's right haters out there. Keith Olbermann's Ego is not just one hell of a guy, he's also a saint. Don't believe The Ego? Then just look at this. See how eager The Ego was to let everyone know he's personally raised (in the sense that he got other people to dole out their $$$) towards helping people without health-care.

The President meets Keith Olbermann's Ego

2009-10-21T20:01:00.004-04:00

Yes, it's true. And you know who wasn't invited? That's right. Anyone from Faux news. Ha ha. Eat your heart out Bill-O (that is if you actually had one). Yep, just me and the Prez kicking back in the Oval Office (forget all those other names that were there, we all know that I was the person that the Prez most wanted to talk to.) I'd love to tell you what we chatted about but you know, off-the-record and all. But don't worry, Keith Olbermann's Ego will remind any and everyone of the fact that the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego was called to the White House for a private meeting with the President of the United States (and leader of the free world and Noble Peace Prize Winner) at every single opportunity he gets for say, the next 20 years or so.

Talk about sick puppies.........

2009-10-20T09:35:00.003-04:00

And no, The Ego is not talking about how under-the-weather he's felt lately either. Keith Olbermann's Ego is still ~~secretly thrilled~~ outraged that President Bush (the first one) called The Ego (and oh yeah, Rachel Maddow too), "sick puppies". . Has the ex-Prez ever tuned in to Fox? That network doesn't have sick puppies: they have full-grown rabid dogs.

Happy Anniversary to Bill O'Reilly

2009-10-14T08:43:00.003-04:00

How could this have escaped Keith Olbermann's Ego's attention? It's the fifth anniversary of the sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill O'Reilly. The Ego would like to point out that he has never, ever had a sexual harassment suit filed against him. Not one. Bill O'Reilly can't say that now can he?

Gawker is still on Keith Olbermann's Ego's Enemies List

2009-10-08T20:29:00.004-04:00

Gawker is still on Keith Olbermann's Ego's Enemies List. But at least they name-check the Ego here.

Sure, it was for a good cause, but the fact that Olbermann believed that an hour-long monologue worthy of Fidel Castro was something that people wanted or needed to see, and that his bosses actually let him get away with it, brought to mind Ben Affleck's flawless SNL caricature of Olbermann's mammoth self-regard. It seemed at times last night that he actually took some pointers from Affleck's performance — Olbermann's ego is expansive enough to take such jabs as loving tribute, and incorporate them into his self-image like some ravenous blob that from a sci-fi movie.

Bosses at MSNBC? I got news for you Gawker, Keith Olbermann ~~runs~~ owns MSNBC. If the Ego wants to do something dammit, he does it. And The Ego isn't sure but he thinks Gawker just accused him of devouring Ben Affleck or something. Jennifer Garner, oh yeah, The Ego would devour that but Affleck? No.

If you really want to change the course of the health care debate and change minds, Keith—hell, if you even just want to inform people about the world around them, like your sainted Edward R. Murrow, now and again—try pointing the camera at something other than yourself. And let us know when you conquer death.

But my public demands that Gawker. They want Keith Olbermann 24/7--as it should be.

A Very Special, Special Comment by Keith Olbermann

2009-10-06T19:02:00.002-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego is famed for his Very Special, Special Comments. But tomorrow night's Special Comment will be even more special than all the Special Comments that came before. Why you ask? Because Keith Olbermann's Ego has seen fit to make it an hour-long Special Comment! You read right my adoring fans. Keith Olbermann will be devoting the entire 60-minutes of Countdown tomorrow night to a Very Special, Special Comment on Health Care. It'll be just like Glenn Beck but without all the insanity but with intelligence and eloquence--two things that no one on Faux News has but that the Ego has in abundance because as you all know by now, The Ego is a genius.

The Ego agrees with Bill O'Reilly!

2009-10-06T12:38:00.002-04:00

And vice versa. All thanks to David Letterman. Isn't America great?

Of course Keith Olbermann knows David Letterman's Blackmailer

2009-10-04T10:04:00.003-04:00

And spills all at the Baseball Nerd. Don't worry Dave! Keith Olbermann's Ego has your back on this one.

First time I've included a non-baseball story in here, I think. You saw the David Letterman extortion/blackmail attempt? Without defending Letterman's forced-to-confess-transgressions, I went slack-jawed went suspect Robert J. Halderman was arrested. He has been a Producer for CBS News 48 Hours, but what you haven't read is that when I made my television debut as the New York correspondent for CNN Sports in 1981, Robert J. "Joe" Halderman was the chief assignment editor in the CNN New York bureau. You know when somebody gets arrested for some horrific or moronic crime (like taking a personal check for two million dollars as a blackmail payment), you hear somebody say "that's not the guy I knew"? Not this time. This is exactly the guy we knew at CNN in 1981.

Keith Olbermann's Ego has some advice for David Letterman

2009-10-02T19:14:00.004-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego would like to offer up some advice for my buddy, David Letterman. Dude, next time don't sleep with your staffers. Do as the Ego does and sleep with fans instead. Avoids all those nasty sexual harassment issues.

For the record? Dan Abrams can kiss Keith Olbermann's Ass

2009-09-22T22:24:00.002-04:00

How dare he question the journalistic integrity and ethics of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego? The Ego has a primetime news show--what does Abrams have? A dinky website. Keith Olbermann's Ego rests his case and as judge and jury, I win, as The Ego always does.

Jenna BUSH Hager on the Today SHOW?

2009-09-17T10:02:00.002-04:00

WTF? How did this happen? Dammit Katy Tur's Ego belongs on the Today show--not some presidential spawn who can't read her way out of a paper bag. Do you people realize the sacrifices that Katy Tur has made to make it in this business? I sleep with Keith Olbermann people--haven't I suffered enough? Do you think that The Weather Channel and WNBC are enough for me? I need to be rewarded for my labor people. And Keith Olbermann's ego promised me he'd make me a star. He said he owned ~~MSNBC~~ NBC. A Star dammit, not a supporting character on the stupid weather channel. All I can say is that Mr. Ego better get off his fat butt and get to work. Or Katy's Ego will be very, very displeased. And you know what that means don't you Keith? No sexytime for Mr. Happy until Katy's Ego is happy again.

Jimmy Fallon does not amuse Keith Olbermann's Ego

2009-09-09T16:30:00.000-04:00

Not at all. No wonder his ratings suck.

It's Labor Day!

2009-09-07T09:30:00.001-04:00

Go out and see a MLB game or something, sure your seats won't be as great as the Ego's but maybe you can catch a glimpse of the greatness that is Keith Olbermann's Ego!

The Christian Science Monitor doesn't like Glenn Beck either

2009-09-04T12:35:00.001-04:00

See?

Now, Glenn Beck is an art critic. Last night on Fox News, Beck launched a lengthy and rambling investigation of the “communist” art splayed across the face of Rockefeller Center in New York City. (Video below.) In short order, he went on to accuse John D. Rockefeller, whose family developed the plaza, of supporting communism and fascism. (Apparently one can believe in both at once.)

Absolutely not, says Christopher Knight, an art critic (a real one) for the Los Angeles Times. Beck was as “nutty as usual,” Knight wrote: He pointed to a portrait of Lenin in Mexican master Diego Rivera’s destroyed Rockefeller lobby mural, “Man at the Crossroads,” but forgot to mention that old John D. had the mural removed because of it. (Facts are stubborn things — even more stubborn than demagoguery.) With comedy stylings like that, Beck is turning out to be the Harold Harby of our day. Who was Harold Harby? A Los Angeles city councilman in the early 1950s, Harby took up propaganda-arms with a paranoid group of right-wing loonies called the Society for Sanity in Art. They made it their patriotic duty to search out Communist symbols they just knew were hidden in that weird, postwar abstract art.

Is Glenn Beck a Murderer and a Rapist?

2009-09-03T10:52:00.003-04:00

Look, I don't know if it's true that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990, but if it isn't, Glenn Beck, alleged 1990 murderer and rapist, should produce the girl he didn't rape and murder in 1990 so that this matter can be cleared up. All we want is proof. What is he trying to hide? He should produce the girl he allegedly did or did not rape and murder in 1990 and until he takes the five minutes it will take to clear this little matter up then he should be deemed a suspicious character. But I really urge him to come clean on this and answer these important questions. And oh yeah, tell us if she was a communist or knows Van Jones.

And people think Keith Olbermann is crazy?

2009-08-30T21:21:00.002-04:00

I present to you Exhibit A: or as I and Gawker like to call him: a fear-mongering whore.

Back to School

2009-08-28T10:22:00.002-04:00

As you may have noticed, The Ego has been too busy to blog much over the last week or so. That's because school is back in session and the brains behind Keith Olbermann's Ego is gainfully employed by a school district. So The Ego won't be updating quite as much as usual but check back often as updates will be made periodically as Keith Olbermann's Ego continues to make news.

In Memoriam

Rest in Peace Senator Kennedy.

Keith Olbermann's Sexy Ego

2009-08-24T15:38:00.000-04:00

Yeah baby, feast your eyes on this Sex Symbol. You know you want it. As it should be.

Keith Olbermann's Ego is Not Amused.

2009-08-21T15:15:00.001-04:00

The Ego has just added the LA Times to the offical enemies list.

Here is an actual correction from Page A4 of today's print edition: FOR THE RECORD: TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday's Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV's "Jackass" show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" should have been listed.

Keith Olbermann's Ego Asks What is a Cityfile?

2009-08-12T20:11:00.003-04:00

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.

Keith Olbermann Asks You Do Not Read the NY Times Today

2009-08-08T08:03:00.003-04:00

Keith Olbermann's Ego ~~orders~~ asks you to not read the NY Times today. They are printing more ~~truth~~ lies about The Ego again. But since I named Brian Stelter WPIW along with the Times this past Monday night, my fans already know to completely ignore everything that is said in this article because I've already thoroughly discredited any and everything they will ever say about me, past, present, or future. Like this garbage:

Mr. Olbermann told viewers on June 1 that he would halt his jokes about Fox News because he believed that Fox had played a part in inciting the death of the abortion doctor George Tiller. Inside Fox, executives chuckled. They knew that a pact had already been struck by Mr. Olbermann’s bosses to end the feud.

I see that Brian and the Times are bucking for another WPITW title.

After the detente was reported by The Times on Monday, the fighting resumed and Mr. Olbermann claimed there was no deal among the parent companies. That was met by heated skepticism among bloggers.

As The Ego has already explained to you, repeatedly, these bloggers are all right-wing idiots hired by the GOP and Fox to discredit Keith Olbermann's Ego. Once again, The Ego ~~orders~~ requests that you no longer purchase the NY Times as they are clearly another GOP/Murdoch friendly publication intent on attacking the sterling character and reputation of Keith Olbermann's Ego.
