I had the same reaction - Olberman. But, all-in-all, most of the Flaming Liberal commentators kept with the script - it’s about Baseball...
I was surfing and ran across it but the first face I saw was Olbermann and I immediately moved on....Shoot! I’ll try to remember it tonight.
Few years ago I attended a Yankees’ game at the “old” Stadium... before the MLB game there was the Old Timer’s game... that turd Olbermann was announcing the players from an on-field table near the home team warm-up batter’s circle... I kept hoping Donnie Baseball (or some other lefty hitter) would have hit a foul line shot off turd Olbermann’s paste-eating kisser, but no such luck.
Marginally related, Burns’ Jazz is...amazing. Highly recommended.
I work nights and recorded it on my DVD recorder; will do same tonight. Plan to watch with a friend this weekend. I knew already that Mike Barnicle was to be in it and thought I’d read that Olby was to be as well, though I guess in a baseball capacity rather than politics. Last night I checked to make sure it recorded OK, FF-ed a bit, and there he was.
Should be worth watching though and I can FF over him.
btw here’s a bit I recorded at a college radio station in
95 as I read “Green Fields of the Mind” by Bart Giamatti
(aka “It breaks your heart”). The music backing is from
the audio cass. copy I had (later got rid of, I think)
of the soundtrack from the original Baseball.
