Keith Olberman IS ALIVE and doing Keith Olberman stuff.....

[a kennedy]

Who can forget former MSNBC political commentator Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" segment during his 2003-2011 show, "Countdown with Keith Olbermann?"

But today, perhaps Olbermann earned that title himself. Why?

It all started with Clarion Ledge outdoors writer Brian Broom writing a piece about a Mississippi hunter bagging a rare white turkey. The story has been extremely popular with Clarion Ledger readers.

Olbermann, no fan of guns or hunting, retweeted the story today to his 1.08 million followers with the following comment:

"It be rare and beautiful so me should kill it. This pea-brained scumbag identifies himself as Hunter Waltman and we should do our best to make sure the rest of his life is a living hell. And the nitwit clown who wrote this fawning piece should be fired."

1. I miss him too

[TheBlackAdder]

36. Did anyone mention that the Clarion Ledger is owned by Gannett, the same owner of USA Today?

2. Keith

get your ass back on TV.
Build a bridge
get over it.
I know baseball starts in 2 days.
Just do it.
Thankx
America.

3. The ammo-sexuals,...

... will put Keith's face on the target sheets down at the red neck gun ranges. Seeing who can put more bullets threw his head.

[marble falls]

4. Miss Keith. Twitter is not enough.

[Marie Marie]

5. I miss Keith and I miss Jon Stewart.

[k8conant]

6. Yes, indeed, I miss them also.

[GoCubsGo]

7. I'm thinking Jon might pop up from under Stephen Colbert's desk some time in the near future.

I miss him, too. And, Keith. I was just thinking the other day how much I miss him. I hope he'll start another YouTube series for GQ soon.

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. This x 10000000000

[SamIam715]

9. Just saw Keith....

Husband and I were having appetizers at a sports bar just now and he was on the air, talking sports, his first gig before he landed on MSNBC. I sure do miss him as well.

[Mosby]

10. I really think it's time for KO to come back

Someone must have a spot for him. Heck even comedy central.

[busterbrown]

19. I know it's not important political talk..

But I loved Keith when he was on ESPN..

[kimbutgar]

11. I think Keith has had his life threatened

Remember after the orange maggot won and Keith was on Esquire magazine via you tube. He had some hard hitting commentary and then he was gone. I really think he got a death threat and that is why he is silenced.

But I so miss his voice. Keith, if you are on DU reading posts please come back! I’m sure we could get you in Free Speech or a You Tube channel. I would love to have you back and I’m sure others feel the same way. If the pimple popper could make money on you tube you can also!

[niyad]

31. actually, KO was on GQ.

[kimbutgar]

33. You are correct I knew it was a magazine but said the wrong name

[area51]

12. Iirc, he said he was getting out of political commentary

because Trump was going down; well, it's unlikely Trump will, and it would be great to have his commentary back until Trump gets hopefully fired in 2020.

[busterbrown]

20. Love Keith... But he only appeals to one group..

Us...His old MNSBC Show? He could never get anyone from the other side..Just like Rachael and Lawrence..,

[NCLefty]

28. He can get Donna Brazille now. She's at Fox :p

[calimary]

30. Oh great. Donna Brazil. She who never fails to bring a feather duster to a gun fight.

I’m sure she’s a very nice person with long experience in politics. But as a reliable, ruthless, and take-no-prisoners political combatant...

[ReformedGOPer]

13. Watching Keith on Countdown was the only thing that got me through the Bush years. He was the first

commentator I saw on cable who criticized George Bush. Such a breath of fresh air. I miss him.

[budkin]

21. Same here. Watched it religiously

He needs to be back in the political arena.

[USALiberal]

14. Countdown was best show ever!!!! nt

[bluestarone]

15. THIS!

loved it too!

[Different Drummer]

23. Same here!

"Worst Persons" was one of the best things I've ever seen on TV.

[djacq]

16. Keith Olbermann - The Closer & The Resistance... best pain reliever.

All 187 Episodes still on YouTube;

[Honeycombe8]

17. I agree with what he said.

This thing about men killing "rare" wildlife just sickens me.

[Pepsidog]

18. He was my go to guy during Bush years

[Paladin]

22. Come back, Keith. All is forgiven.

Many worthy targets await your irate commentary. Fire at will!

[George II]

24. I follow him on twitter, most of what he's doing now is trying to find owners....

....for homeless dogs and making a few comments about sports (mostly athletes' contracts and Hall of Fame nominations)

Plus, he periodically post BEAUTIFUL pictures of Central Park and NYC from his apartment on Central Park South. I reminisce, I can see the building where I lived in the '80s on CPW in most of his shots.

I wish he was back on MSNBC, he was great.

[Laffy Kat]

29. Sadly, he's bad about burning his bridges.

With the exception of ESPN, I'm not sure any other network would have him back. It sounds like he's difficult to work for/with. I do miss him, too, so I wish that wasn't the case.

[stopbush]

25. I remember KO's "Special Comments," where he unfortunately tripped over his words

most of the time, mitigating the impact of his message. Edward R Murrow he was not.

Still, he had passion and was outspoken. It was KO who gave Rachel her break with MSNBC.

IIRC, he also dated Katy Tur for awhile.

[donkeypoofed]

35. Sadly, Keith also dated Laura Ingraham- yuck!!

[Totally Tunsie]

26. I miss his head...both inside and outside.

KO was always one of my favs.

[LovingA2andMI]

27. K.O.

Is living his best life, talking about sports and animals on Twitter and TV. He is not coming back to Politics. Period. And with the state of this Country right now, who can blame him?

[niyad]

32. what the hell is that asshole gassing about?? KO had every right to comment.

KOEB

[java108]

34. But in the meantime we still have Tom Jumbo-Grumbo!

He plays a blowhard (pun intended) blue whale news pundit who hosts a show on MSNBSea. It's brilliant parody not only of cable news, but himself as well.

[Gothmog]

37. I miss Keith
