Tim Russert was widely admired in the world of journalism, and so when he died suddenly last Friday, his colleagues were understandably shocked and broken hearted. Except for MSNBC anchors Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. For their reaction, replace that part about “shocked and broken hearted” with “squealing with delight”. Page Six says…
Matthews was heard loudly discussing what seemed to be his strategy for landing Russert's "Meet the Press" show at Wednesday's memorial reception for the NBC Washington bureau chief at the Kennedy Center in DC. After Brian Williams, Carl Bernstein, David Gergen, Barbara Walters and NBC brass eulogized their friend, Matthews huddled with an unidentified "agent type" and seemed to be plotting.
According to our spy, "Chris, with his loud voice, was going over a pitch for Tim's job. He was saying, 'You know, Tim's thing was this, and my thing is that.' It was unbelievably tacky."
Meanwhile, Matthews' MSNBC cable cohort Olbermann, who was also at the memorial, is "threatening to quit if he isn't installed as Russert's replacement," another insider said. "I know, it sounds ludicrous, but, then, Keith Olbermann is ludicrous."
Olbermann is a fuckin creep. I never missed a show when he and Dan Patrick did Sportscenter, but today he’s an insufferable jackass. And he looks like a pervert. Mark my words, one day you’ll wake up and there will be sketches of him on flyers and you’ll see the FBI confiscating his home computers.
who?
I can’t tell the difference between these two guys and the Saturday Night Live players who mock them.
Love him. I'd hit it on sheer principle. But only with the lights out. And a fifth of vanilla vodka wouldn't hurt either.
I do miss the good old days of Sports Center.
What the hell is an olderman?
Anchormen are overrated, that's why world needs sexy, big breasted women on news.
When my colleagues get fired or quit, I jump on their clients like a serial rapist. I'm not playa hating on those whose mouths watered when they realized that one of their own died.
Olbermann vehemently denied page 6's allegations on last night's broadcast of Countdown. Keep in mind that rag is run by Rupert Murdoch and isn't worth the pulp it's printed on.
As much as I hate Matthews, if you believe this is true and not a Fox News smear, I've got a bridge to sell you*
*no I don't
Olbermann is a liberal blowhard toolbag.
That guy is probably the most annoying person ever recorded on film…….not named Michael Moore.
its the hint of chest hair that makes me hard
Can anyone with one of those "How I'm feeling today" magnet things tell me what exactly this facial expression is trying to convey?
Who gives a fuck? Can we get some titties?
Jack's Smirking Revenge: his expression is "Oh shit I want to fart but it will stink bad so I have to keep it, but I'm gonna explode, nnngggaaahhhh!"
If either Olbermann or Matthews gets the hosting job of Meet The Press I will never watch that show again…wait, I never watched it before. Fck it, who gives a sht?
See, I was thinking more along the lines of "Contented recent bowel release". But maybe thats just me.
Olbermann, Dan Patrick and Craig Kilborn
good ole days
Cue 5 pages of political meltdown in 3….2….1
Can Amy W. give this two just a pinch of tuberculosis?
Olbermann is one of those arrogant jerks that take a dump on your head then expect you to say thanks for the hat.
McKenneth hit it right on the head as I watched him last night “spit hot fire” during “Worst Person in the World”. I was a huge Olbermann fan when he was on ESPN and couldnt’ understand why. But when “Countdown” started picking up steam, he showed some skills doing “objective” political commentary. Would he love the job? Hell yeah, but fishing for the job while the body’s still warm? I don’t believe it.
