Olbermann at loose ends
NY Post: Unemployed, perennially confrontational talking head Keith Olbermann aimlessly wandered around Central Park South earlier this week, seemingly looking for a friend or a purpose.
Our spies snapped unflattering pictures of Olbermann decked out in a giant red pullover and clownishly baggy jeans as he strolled 59th Street near Seventh Avenue, smelling the roses — or, in this case, the horse manure, allergens and aromas from a nearby food cart. Spies said dejected Olbermann parked himself on CPS and stared into space for several minutes before slinking off by himself.
But in contrast to Wednesday’s schlumpy appearance, he looked ready to take on the world again yesterday, when he declined to speak to The Post outside his Upper East Side pad. A clean-shaven Olbermann, in sunglasses and a blue golf shirt, politely waved at a reporter before quickly walking the other way. He didn’t return calls from Page Six, and his manager, Michael Price, didn’t return e-mails.
Olbermann last month was fired from his $10-million-a-year Current TV job, where he hosted “Countdown.” He joined the channel last June after his departure from MSNBC in January 2011. He filed a wrongful termination suit against Current TV seeking $50 million to $70 million, and the network countersued.
Olbermann’s MSNBC protégée, Rachel Maddow, said she couldn’t believe they axed him. “Totally shocked,” Maddow said. “I did not know it was coming, it was crazy.”
Poor widdle Keify…

You’d think with his multiple millions of dollars wealth, poor widdle Keify can buy a pair of jeans that fits.
I believe he is 120 IQ, so why doesn’t he pursue some charitable pursuits, or help others to help themselves? I’ve found there is NO lack of matters that need our attention, from adoptions and orphans to helping people after a tornado, giving a homeless person meaningful work, etc.. ANYTHING would be better than wandering in a depressed state, thoughts and feelings darkening perhaps toward suicide, something unemployed people do at a higher rate than the employed. If I had his email address I’d send him some suggestions.
One down, now to get rid of the rest of the idiots! i appreciate the balanced conversation of differing opinions, but it’s great if they make some sense! MSNBC is impossible to listen to.
Never could listen to him or Ed Schultz. High blood pressure……!!!
Poor little Kiefy is still worth more than all of us combined unemployed. A Smurf’s fart is more noticeable than my compassion for Kieth Olbermann.
Let him sulk!
I know what it is.
He’s gotten too fat for his bathtub.

He was a panelist on the Stephanopolous Sunday show on ABC this morning. He was very mild and lowkey throughout. I don’t think he’s really chastened, just trying to show he can behave himself for brief periods of time if he wants to.
He probably exploded after his appearance
He’s gotta lay low until someone hires him…
Aw, poor baby… not a prostitute around when he needs one.
120 IQ? This man is a buffoon. He uses Word of the Day to get by. My IQ is considerably higher. People with high IQ’s can pick another high IQer out of a crowd. It’s like the old “Gaydar”. I can tell you for a fact, this man is an idiot who has lied, cheated, and manipulated his way through life. He is finally receiving his comeupance.
Just another fat ass, with mom-jeans!
