KO Suspended Rest Of Week Because KO Is So Very Stupid

[Joe Hass]

I really try to defend Olbermann whenever I can because I do think he's passionate to a fault and struggles to understand when to pull the reins, and God knows I know that feeling, but this is just so incredibly stupid that even I'm sitting here going "Wait...it started with *THAT*?!?" and me slumping over as all the Olbermann haters* are just having a field day with this, and deservedly so.

* Not to say the haters don't have legitimate beefs.

He goes to the time out chair for crapping on Penn State students for an annual pediatric cancer fundraiser.

Yes, that sentence reads *exactly* like you think it reads.

If he keeps this up, ESPN will release him from his contract, thus making him available to take over as Daily Show host

I am watching the DVR'd version of it now, and so far (min 25) they have not made mention of KO being suspended - if I had not read the story (plastered all over my FB earlier today by several of my red state friends eager to make sure I knew about it) I might have thought he had a shingles attack.

I agree with all of this. It is particularly Olbermann-ish that recently - and it may even have been last week - he spent a lot of time chastising someone (I forget who now) for getting involved in a trivial Twitter flame-war; and then he turns around and does something even worse himself.

The really dumb part of this is that most current Penn State students were not at the university when they were going through the Sandusky scandal.

Well, there are so many dumb parts to this that it is kind of hard to rank them, but you have identified one of them.

As a long time college teacher, I can testify that there is absolutely no upside to getting involved in an argument of any kind, in any context, with a college student.

Olbermann probably chastised Colin Kaepernick
