Oh man, Keith Olbermann took to his nightly airwaves to try and shame
CityFile, Wonkette and us for raising questions about his unexplained
vacation last April. We're not sorry.

The story that CityFile originally reported was that Olbermann was so
upset about the decision by Ben Affleck - who had mercilessly mocked
Olbermann on SNL - to appear on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show that
Olbermann wouldn't go back to his Countdown set until the mandarins of
NBC News sufficiently kissed his ass.

Earlier today, Olbermann put out a statement that said his sudden
vacation was instead due to his mother's death, a subject which,
nearly two weeks prior, he very emotionally addressed on his show.

So, here we are. We maintain that Olbermann threw a hissy fit because
he felt upstaged by his hand-picked protege; he says we're heartless
assholes because he's been in a state of mourning. That would be a
fair enough argument, except ... except, it wasn't just CityFile that
claimed Olbermann took his unexpected leave of absence. A Gawker
source, with intimate involvement with the situation, maintains our
version of the story. Olbermann - who, by the way, would be entirely
within his rights to say he was taking some time off to attend to his
mother's funeral - didn't bring up his mother's death until today.

We made repeated calls to MSNBC today to get Olbermann's side, but
never heard anything back until he went on his show to slam Gawker and
the horrible, horrible blogosphere in his new WTF segment. So much for
the journalistic cred of the MSM.

P.S. We've been a fan of you, Keith O. Just please don't be such a
touchy jerk.

This story was filed May 14, 2009. It's ancient history now, so why
repost it?

Olbermann is on five nights a week, so if you must rag on him you should
be able to find something more recent to talk about.

That's the point... there's nothing to rag on about Keith.

Ubi had to go back months to find something to complain about.

How sad and pathetic.

Hardly. Your posting of follow-ups thru sockpuppets via Google is a lot more.

I'm sure his four viewers can get together and come up with something,

Only if you can manage to interupt them from their circle-jerk long
enough.

I think you guys are vastly underestimating the entertainment value of
the Troll o Meter that points to zero.

pissed him off because he's digging up old posts and showing up on
rec.arts.theatre.musicals where he used to be "mikey.")

Prior to "mikey" did he ever refer to himself as "nancy boy"?

Actually as mikey he was accused of being a pedophile by a couple of
other rec.arts.theatre.musicals posters. (Not me.) I think he has kids,
and he claims to be a teacher. And now living in Florida.
