What is it about a photo of Keith Olbermann making a pouty face all
wrapped up in an American flag that is so damn hilarious? Seriously.
The picture itself is pretty funny (although we’re sorta thinking
he wanted it to be intimidating or something) but when used in a
joke-tweet by the genius of Iowahawk, aka David Burge, it goes into
nuclear hee-haw territory.
Ta-dah!

Yes, we took a swing at Olbermann earlier today, but this tweet was
just too good to pass up. Luckily Twitter responded in kind to
Burge’s photo-whomp with their own hilarity:
@iowahawkblog So brave and strong. So prepared. So…what I
want to be.

So brave. Although to be honest, Keith doesn’t look all that tough
wrapped up in our flag, really he just looks fussy and a little
constipated. Perhaps that’s what is resisting, his colon?
Heh.
I knew I'd seen this picture before

Same face! Just put a pair of glasses on that pup and the likeness
would be uncanny.
@iowahawkblog For somebody being all fighty-fighty, his
body language & facial expression sure say "Take my lunch
money".

These cartoon characters are far more intimidating than Olbermann.

Hrm … that might actually BE Keith Olbermann. Seriously, have you ever seen E.T. and Keith Olbermann in the same room?

I wonder what changed between 2012 and 2016, Slate?
