Either Relevant or True » “We had booze with lunch.”

Gail Shister talks to Our Mr. Olbermann for TVNewser:

As for his not voting, Olbermann calls it “a stupid, symbolic sportscaster thing. ‘Don’t bet on a game you’re covering.’ I just like to distance myself. There’s some place I should be neutral.

“I could conceivably not take a political stance in my work, but that’s not going to happen. My commentary is much more valuable to the process than my vote. On an à la carte basis, I have fulfilled my responsibility on a civic level.”

I was unaware that democracy was à la carte. I was under the impression it was prix fixe.

Speaking of punches, Olbermann says he would crush his nemesis, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, in an arm wrestling match.

“He’d never do it, because every time we’re in the same place, he keeps himself 25 feet away, but I’m ready to go. I do yoga, work out three times a week. I think I could take him if it comes to that.”

Okay. I may pay to see that. Can we get these two in the ring and Wrestlemania 237?

The voting thing is just silly at this point, but, whatevs.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Daily News has chimed in on the winners and losers of the 2008 Election year on the digital LCD screen, calling Keith (along with Saturday Night Live and Elizabeth Santamatina Fey) a winner, and dubbing Ben Affleck’s Olbermann impression a loser:

Ellen Gray Column, 11/12/2008 Philadelphia Daily News.

Keith Olbermann doing yoga!

I wonder how that enormous body can contort into all those complex poses?

OK, on Tuesday I write regarding Keith’s appearance on “The View”:

“He looked like me teaching kindergarden (sic) Sunday School.”

Last night Keith says to Joel, “I looked like a kindergarten teacher sitting with the kids.”

Is he reading us or do great minds think alike?

And doesn’t Joel have the cutest baby in the world?

I’ve heard that he does read here, sometimes.
Joel’s baby looks a lot like Joel, which is to say, pretty cute.

I think that the cameras used on The View are set to make everyone look longer and thinner, and the longer you are naturally, the more it is exaggerated.

Isn’t there some old W.C. Fields line about not appearing with children or animals?

That baby was delightful, and when he wet himself, Keith’s rejoinder was priceless.

Although, I doubt if Keith will dare to go back on The View after commenting on the “Battle axes”. I had to wonder if he had meant all of them or was designating by either age or obnoxious personality.

It was fascinating to see/hear Thomas Friedman, and then he was on The Daily Show last night and Hardball today.

Awaiting the Green Bubble.

Zzzzzzz…Ducks and Beavers!
