Jimmy Kimmel Trashes Keith Olbermann and Al Gore at White House Correspondents' Dinner
Jimmy Kimmel on Saturday trashed former MSNBC and Current TV anchor Keith Olbermann as well as the controversial commentator's former boss Al Gore.
During his keynote address at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, Kimmel said, "I’d like everyone to look under your seats. Under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann’s resume" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JIMMY KIMMEL: Alright, it’s time for the fun part of the evening. I’d like everyone to look under your seats. Under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann’s resume. Is Keith here tonight? Limo wouldn’t pick him up? The thing about Keith Olbermann is he’s so likable.
Al Gore launched Current TV in 2005 and it took off like a North Korean rocket. To be honest, I didn’t even know Current TV was still on the air, but then I don’t get channel a million.
Keith Olbermann burned more bridges than the Arsonist of Madison County. He has more pink slips than Marcus Bachmann.
For his part, Olbermann shot back via Twitter saying, "Funny that Jimmy Kimmel ripped me after his people desperately wanted me to fly to LA to be on his show this past Wednesday."
Looks like this could be oodles of fun.
Stay tuned.

Olbermann shouldn't be upset. In show business the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity. Celebrity has often offset irrelevence or a lack of talent .
There was no resume

Because A) KO can't write, and B) Like BHO, he has no record to run on, and if he did, no one would want to hire him.
BHO's resume needs to be POUNDED into EVERY America household possible, and people asked do they want to hire this guy for another 4 years.

The best way for Keith to combat a joke that is so undeniably true would be to graciously laugh it off, maybe with some self-deprecating humor. But no, he gets all arrogant, thereby proving himself to be as much of an a-hole as the joke says he is.

Someone needs to tell Keithy Baby twitter is for girls....He acts like a Sissy Boy everytime he's attacked by Tweeting. What a Big Pussy!!!!
As for Keith's resume: Sure I'd hire a communist propagandist who tweets like a girl, can't get along with anyone, suffers from Narcisstic Personality Disorder, pisses himself under the desk, can't stop his legs from shaking or his mouth from lying. He's the ultimate candidate no matter where he applies....When thinking about ol' Olbergoebbels, I'm really glad Karma is a Bitch......

Keifie Olberdummy is a complete a@@hole, but at least he DOES have a resume, and he HAS had some jobs before - which is more than can be said for Boy Baraka - who, as I understand it, was getting some laughs at the expense of the Secret Service, who are probably guys that he personaly picked. Hey, Boy - maybe you outta 'watch your back' a little better..........those SS guys know a lot more about you than most people, including the StateRun Media.
Is Olby really that dumb?
Submitted by HockeyKid on Sun, 04/29/2012 - 5:53am.
That he thinks being asked on a talk show is a sign that the show respects him?
No wonder he can't keep a job--he obviously doesn't pay attention to what goes on around him.

let this one die. Every time he fights it, he proves it correct. His best option is to take the barbs on the chin. He takes damage either way. Keith went too far and this is karma at play. He put that energy out there, it is who he is. He sinned against the liberal power establishment. They know how much of a loose cannon Keith is.
This is so much fun!
Curse that Kimmel guy.

Just when Olby kicks off his next big comeback with his appearance on This Week, this has to happen.

Looks like Jimmy Kimmel burned a few bridges himself

Jimmy Kimmel burned more bridges than the Arsonist of Madison County. He will have as many friends from the mainstream media as Rush Limbaugh.
He will be permanently blacklisted among liberals. Look for his show to go kaput within a couple of months, and return to his Fox NFL predictions gig. Marcus Bachmann is not high enough on the liberal's "hate" index to merit immunity from such a liberal ban.
One possible saving factor: inferring Rush Limbaugh is an a-hole, though supposedly "nobody" knows it.

You've gotta wonder what Boy Baraka was thinking when he heard a couple of those remarks...........we all know that his skin in thinner than cellophane, and he DOES have ways of 'getting even'. Plus, Mooooooooochelle has pretty thin skin herself, in spite of her huge caboose, and although she apparantly treats Boy Baraka with disdain, she's smart enough to know which side of her bread the butter is on - although she looks like she's eaten the whole bakery AND creamery!!! So she might do a little undercover pay-back also, just to protect her status as Moooooooooochelle Antionette.

I dunno, killa. I'm thinkin' Bambi just might have had script approval for everyone's routines, especially given his onion-skin thin hide. I'm almost certain he did not want any "surprises" to risk being caught on camera with an unrehearsed (negative) reaction to a comment.
But of course, as Dennis Miller said, "That's just my opinion; I could be wrong."

You're probably right, Model...........I don't think anything goes on around Boy Baraka that isn't pre-tested. That's why I think these Secret Service guys were probably approved by Barry also............hell, he won't even go into a photo-shoot or a speech or any other function without making sure that the people around him are in the tank....................I think the last time he made that mistake is when he ran into Joe the Plumber - and look what happened to poor Joe, NOT Boy Barry!!!
Maybe he allowed Kimmel to say those lines - they were pretty lightweight, especially considering what anyone COULD go after Baraka about!!!!
