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.

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

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.
