I wonder what KO will have to say about SNL....

[fadedrose]

Anybody want to venture a guess?

Strange that NO ONE HAS MENTIONED IT ON MSNBC, and I've had it on all day and yesterday too.

1. He'll probably spend 30 minutes obsessing over it n/t

2. Here's Olbermann's email to Ana Marie Cox of Time Magazine:

SNL and my Football Night In America show share adjoining studios, so upon my arrival yesterday, awaiting me was one of the cue cards from the bit, with Ben writing of the sketch: "Keith - Remember, a) I didn't write this; b) it took years of study - fondly, Ben."

As to the giddiness: Honestly, everybody deserves a laugh but if on the weekend before the presidential election they spent more than seven seconds bothering with ME, the campaign staff has even less of a clue than I thought.

Also, what's this "about time" jazz? Since spring they've been trying to cajole, sweet-talk, bully, threaten, blackmail, and bribe everybody at NBC from the pages to the presidents to get the milquetoast coverage they want - especially to shut me down. Then McCain spoiled his otherwise impeccable performance at the Al Smith dinner with that angry-old-man bit about me. They have helped bury their own guy in the polls and helped me pass O'Reilly in the ratings. So, seriously, if they'd like to spend any part of the penultimate day talking about me I'll send them all fruit baskets of gratitude.

One last SNL thing: I'll be reporting the details on this tonight. ask them why Governor Palin didn't say her first line as scripted three shows ago. As they pulled back from the monitor shot of Tina doing the impression she was supposed to compliment Tina. Could've been a real rehab to her image - why'd she refuse?

4. Thank you for posting this

I think I need to email SNL and MSNBC because the SNL thing really made me angry.

It'd be different if there was had been any semblance to the truth, but there was none. Just an insult for no good reason other than to get vengeance on a guy who has hurt the Reps with the TRUTH....

3. Frankly, I didn't think the piece on SNL was particularly funny.

5. As long as he's not talking about O'Reily for 20 mins I dont care.

I love KO but he's spending WAY too much on that petty BS between him and O'Reily.

8. Yes, the SNL skit should have been on BillO and KO's competition

That might have been funny and held a kernal of truth...

That cat thing should have gotten somebody fired...

6. It was an absolutely horrible impression... not even close

But it was still funny.

7. He'll do a Special Comment.
