"On the cover of the latest Esquire magazine is this quote from ESPN host Keith Olbermann: "I’ve never fought the word genius when people have said that about me." In a "What I've Learned interview, Olbermann added, "But what it is is instinct and a set of skills that are working so fast you don’t know they’re working."

[mkmensinger]

It's almost too easy, but I'll have a go anyway. Keith, I can't imagine a more seriously deluded individual.

I’ve always thought “arrogant asshole” applied to him perfectly.

To borrow a phrase from the 60’s hippies:

Liberal Genius is to Genius as Military Intelligence is to Intelligence.

[Bullish]

If by “genius” you mean “moron”.

[Hoodat]

This guy is still around? I figured that most of his former audience of 14 would have died off by now.

[NormsRevenge]

I’ll put my dog’s Mensa score above his any day.

arrogant is being to kind.. but this is a family forum. lol

[Noumenon]

Further evidence of malignant narcissism.

Just because I happened to have it bookmarked.

Ben Aflec skewers his friend Keef on Saturday night live. Not a fan of Aflec but he really has Keef down to a T.

LOL. Yeah, this is a family forum and “arrogant is too kind.” You’re right.

[laweeks]

This guy is still around?

He's still broadcasting from his mother's basement. If you look a little to the left, you'll see pizza boxes and his bed . . . just to the left.

Ann Coulter mocks Keith's claiming to be a Cornell grad

[NormsRevenge]

I remember when ESPN and him first emerged. he was a geek then, he’s an uber geek these days.

Hilarious. I stopped watching SNL years ago because the good skits were few and far between. But every once in a while they hit one out.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Ann’s right to mock Olberman’s Cornell degree, but I’ve noticed that she’s hung up on credentials and “smart” people. She comes across as very snobby, and her credentialism has led her to foolish endorsements, like Mittens’.

[onyx]

You’re right and he’s a clueless, vicious libtard, too.

[dowcaet]

Man, this guy’s career is like a black cat. It keeps getting nine lives. Being an arrogant blowhard would be acceptable if one has talent. Keith Olberdummy has no shred of talent yet the media conglomerate keeps finding work for this clown.

Probably “fought” extremely hard in his ebonics class...

I was thinking it, and you said it.
