Keith Olbermann's Ego Exits Stage Left

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.

Keith Olbermann's Ego's Dictionary

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

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

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.

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

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

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).

Keith Olbermann's Ego returns

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

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

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.

No Keith's Ego tonight on Countdown

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.

Keith Olbermann is not a Narcissitic Outrage Junkie

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.

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.

Keith Olbermann is NOT bleeding.

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

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

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.

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.

Gawker and Mediaite remain dead to Keith Olbermann's Ego

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?

Hey Kids Guess What Time It Is?

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.

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

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.

Keith Olbermann's Ego is a Saint

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.
