Floats Like A Butterfly, Sounds Like A Jackass

Keith Olbermann knows how to spew petty, ad honinem attacks with the best of them, as evidenced by this rant about ex-colleague Dan Abrams' hairline a few weeks ago.

Now Olbermann has managed to keep his name relevant for at least one more day through a dust up with ESPN columnist Bill Simmons, on Simmons' comparison of Tiger Woods' comeback to that of Muhammad Ali. On Woods' comeback, Simmons wrote, "when Tiger Woods returns to golf, he will face a level of pressure that well surpasses anything any other transcendent athlete has faced in my lifetime."

Simmons comments drew a fair amount of negative response, including this gem from Olbermann on his blog:

"If the writer can let me know when Woods is punitively drafted by the military even though he is about eight years older than almost all the other draftees, I'll begin to take him seriously. In the interim I am again left to marvel how somebody can rise to a fairly prominent media position with no discernible insight or talent, save for an apparent ability to mix up a vast bowl of word salad very quickly."

That's about the same way I feel after watching Countdown.

Olberman is relevant where? He's on MSNBC right? That's the definition of irrelevant...

A guy passing through Wyoming stops at a bar full of cowboys and ranch hands. He goes up to the bar and asks for a beer. As he's waiting he looks up at the tv and there's Keith Olberman so he says to the cowboy next to him, "That guy's a horse's ass". The cowboy hauls off and knocks him off the bar stool, and he and every other cowboy get up and walk out in disgust. As he picks himself up, the bar tender returns with his beer. Rubbing his jaw he says to the bartender, "I never would have guessed it, but is this Olberman country?" To which the bartender replies, "Nope, horse country."

Olberman brings to mind every father's warning that masturbation could cause one to go crazy and blind. We know Olberman has achieved the former and his glasses tell us that he is well on his way to the latter.
