Keith Olbermann Tells Donald Trump to ‘FOK Off,’ and Denounces Wonkette

Those looking forward to Keith Olbermann‘s installation of a new rear entrance for Wonkette in his Worst Persons segment might be a little disappointed in the web impresario’s denunciation of Jack Stuef‘s Trig Palin story, but the segment is somewhat redeemed by Olbermann’s clever (so clever he hyped it in two separate tweets!) “special greeting” for Trump: “FOK off!”

Olbermann deserves credit for denouncing Wonkette early on Twitter, and to some degree, for devoting a third of his “Worsts” segment to denouncing the site, but this only gets a silver? And gets beat out by Trump v Seinfeld? How is Trump’s nasty letter to Jerry Seinfeld worse than attacking a three year-old child?

Olbermann starts off strong. He calls Stuef’s post “despicable,” calls his apology “half-assed,” and delivers perhaps his most scorching missive to Wonkette, comparing them to…print publications! (blood-curdling horror scream!)

But then, he shifts his criticism to the “legitimate question” of whether Palin uses Trig as a prop, and essentially slams Stuef for giving Palin one more thing to bitch about. Even if you buy this premise (I don’t), couldn’t Olbermann’s attack have launched without this extra payload? The guy crapped all over her baby, can you give it a rest for five seconds?

Olbermann finishes the segment amusingly enough, however, with a characteristically articulate takedown of Donald Trump’s feudlet with Jerry Seinfeld, and concludes by hanging a supernova-bright lantern on his sign-off joke.

“Keeping in mind that this is the FOK News Channel website,” he begins, “F-O-K, Friends Of Keith,…Don,” oh boy, here it comes! “FOK off!”

Keith, it’s the internet on line two. They want me to tell you you’re allowed to say “fuck” here.

Tommy is definitely a night person. I wish I could get paid to swill wine and write missives about cable news personalities.

Tommy: “The guy crapped all over her baby, can you give it a rest for five seconds?”

No he can’t. No more than a Klansman can control himself. Hate is hate… and it will rot you to the core.

When it comes to half-assed apologies for despicable behavior, Keith Olbermann knows whereof he speaks.

Oh CMON ! Olbermann was DEAD serious about his Scott Brown apology !

You find his FOK off remark clever? Is there anything the least bit redeeming about this buffoon and misogynist? Why are you so focussed on him? He’s a has-been who’s nearly forgotten but for some reason he occupies space in your head. I don’t get it.

lol, no. Read the piece again. The only reason I posted this video at all was because of how hilariously he belabored the joke.

Tommy,

I think you need to get a life. Are you really giving us a play by play on Olby. He doesn’t even have a show anymore.

The Bith Certificate issue is a matter of character.

Does he have one?
If not, what is the (credible) reason he doesn’t have one.

Forget his grandma, newspapaer entries, etc. – just those two questions.

Oh, and why he spent 2 million dollars NOT answering those questions!

His LAPDOG mainstream media will do everything they can to protect THEIR INVESTMENT in this Lying POS, but Trump keeps putting the doubt in people’s minds as to whether we can TRUST the Bum – We Can’t & Won’t!
Barack Must Go

If Olbermann really wanted to prove he was truly outraged by the Wonkette hit piece he would have compared it to himself.

Anyone that gets off on this idiots potty humor is more hopeless and lost in the wilderness than he.

His sycophant fans, especially those in the press can’t even see what is happening right before they’re glazed over eyes.
All the unmistakable signs are there. There is no mistaking this guy is a six months from taking the stairs to the roof,but no code red 911 call will be made.

They’ll just cry and say why. why, why, he seemed perfectly fine to me…..if there were omnly a sign….that’s what they always say only it’s already too late.

These broadcasts are okay but everyone wants to hear him finally tell the real story about MSNBC and what is going on over there. Until then Fok off?

TC,
Olbermann is irrelevant and disingenuous…
Those who slavishly cover him are at risk of the same…

TC,
Do you have the gumption to author a post about the McD’s beating?
Would have more societal and media relevance than some has-been in his penthouse…

Unfortunately for Olbermann he burned out and faded away simultaniously. Once your gone……you can’t come back. Here is a video for all you stoners and hipsters. Conservatives aren’t all that much different than you really.

If you just took a bath once in a while, combed your hair and GOT A JOB you might even be tolerable…..MIGHT.

This is sort of Keith Olbermann’s anthem, ENJOY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O1v_7T6p8U

My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is 12 years older than me, lol.

It’s a little bit funny to hear Keith denounce Donald Trump….since he lives in a building that was developed by Trump.
http://www.sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

Seinfeld is offended because Trump questioned Obama’s birth (a Constitutional issue), yet he fully offends England by questioning and mocking the birth right of the royals. In the end, he takes it out on the kids…. Tacky.

Of course Olby couldn’t leave well enough alone. I knew his worst person bit about Wonkette would be “half-assed”. He is afraid to piss off his rapid fan.

“…but the segment is somewhat redeemed by Olbermann’s clever (so clever he hyped it in two separate tweets!) “special greeting” for Trump: “FOK off!””

You’re teasing, right?

FOK – I thought it stood for *F*ck off Keith*.

Mr. Christopher,

I do not understand why you devote any of your time to an irrelevant has been…unless he’s paying you to do so.

I think the “real” story is already widely known: -0verbite is a crude joke, he has no talent and no redeeming virtues. I would strongly question the rationale of anyone lauding him.

Amazingly, I agree with old X-3, Olbermann is yesterday’s news. What isn’t yesterday’s news, is Donald Trump. Trump is a Joke that keeps on giving. At least Trump, the Joke, is relevant, at least until he decides to renew his reality show. Then all of his “idiot” followers will be left out in the cold, wondering how their savior could desert them. Realizing, as most rational people do, that he has taken them for a ride, albeit a self promoting ride. And once reality has called Trump’s bluff, “The Donald” will become yesterday’s news, just like Mr. Olbermann.

I find it amusing that “The Donald” has become the quintessential Conservative. Meaning he has Flip-Flopped on almost every issue, he espouses. Not too long ago, he sang the praises of Barack Obama, now he claims Barack is the “worst” president, in history. Not too long “The Donald” was a Pro-Choice, advocate. now, not so much. Not too long ago, “The Donald” was for raising taxes, and now, well you get the picture. This new trend of “Flip-Flopping”, by conservatives is curious, indeed. Newt Flip-Flops, on just about every issue, that arises. His position, on issues, depends on who he is addressing, at the moment, or what the administration’s policy is, at the time.. No doubt, Mitt will be Flip-Flopping about “Health care”, considering, Obama’s health care legislation mirror’s the same model, Mitt introduced, in Massachusetts. Yes, the very philosophy, the conservatives used, to bash John Kerry with, in 2000, is now the philosophy of choice, by conservatives. It is apparently chic to be a “Flip-Flopper”, and the “Ultimate Joke”, Donald Trump, embraces the new philosophy with open arms.

Why would Mediaite pay any attention to this guy? He wasn’t much on cable, and finding him now requires a lot of effort. He’s had his 15 minutes of fame; let him slither back under his rock.
wickerchino

Who doesn’t know who Donald Trump is?
Why does this site cover Olbermann so much, even though he’s off now?
Why doesn’t he have picture logos for the worsts segment anymore?
wickerchino

I no longer agree with his politics even though I used to listen to this segment all the time back when I was a lib, and I think he’s a ham now among many other things, but I always found that segment interesting.
