OMG U GUYZ, look who’s on Twitter:
James Thurber Friday! Did you know Keith Olbermann is really smart?
As Olby fan(s) will recall, just a year ago Keith declared Twitter “Worst Person in the World” because he thought somebody was impersonating him. It turned out to be an official Twitter account set up by MSNBC, but Keith didn’t have this information because it wasn’t posted on Media Matters or Kos. He smeared a guy named Dan Cooper as being part of some supposed Twitter conspiracy, and eventually he had to issue the following pseudo-apology:
Thanks for clearing that up! I don’t know about you guys, but I much prefer his “I’m in Full Outrage Mode Even Though I Haven’t Really Fact-Checked This” face to his “I Am a Cornered Animal and Have No Choice But to Kinda Sorta Say Sorry” face.
It remains to be seen how well Keith operates within Twitter’s 140-character limit. He can’t even clear his throat in less than 500 words.
P.S. How can you not love Ruth Graham?
