OLBERMAN IS NOT AN IVY LEAGUER HE WENT TO CORNELL ALRIGHT >>>>Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.

If you've ever watched any three nights of his show, you know that Olbermann went to Cornell. But he always forgets to mention that he went to the school that offers classes in milking and bovine management.

Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent "Ivy League" education, boasting to Playboy magazine, for example: "My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class."

Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.

The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1 applicants).

Olbermann's incessant lying about having an "Ivy League education" when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a "Yale man."

Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Janet Reno, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom.

Graduates of the ag school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player, and Joe Nieuwendyk, multiple Stanley Cup winner.

One begins to understand why Harvard students threw a chicken on the ice during Cornell's famous rout of Harvard at a 1973 hockey game.

If you actually want to pursue a career related to agriculture, there is no better school than the Cornell ag school. I have nothing but admiration for the farmers and aspiring veterinarians at the ag school. They didn't go there just to have "Cornell" on their resumes.

In addition to the farmers, there are some smart kids who go to the ag school -- as there are at all state universities. But most people who majored in "communications" at an ag school don't act like Marshall Scholars or go around mocking graduates of Regent University Law School.

The sort of insecurity that would force you to always say "trebled" instead of "tripled" could only come from a communications major with massive status anxiety, like Keith. Without even looking it up, I am confident that Harvard, Yale and Princeton do not offer degrees in "communications." I know there is no "communications" major at the Ivy League Cornell.

"Communications" is a major, along with "recreation science," most commonly associated with linemen at USC. But at least the linemen can throw a football, which Keith cannot because his mother decided he was not physically robust enough to play outdoors as a child.

It may seem cruel to reveal the true college of someone who already wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat worried that he's a fraud. But I believe that by pointing out that Olbermann actually is a fraud, I am liberating him. You may not realize it now, Keith, but you will look back on this day and say, "That was the best thing that ever happened to me!"

Finally, you can stop pretending that you went to the hard-to-get-into Cornell.
YOU LOSER!

As a sportscaster he was funny and irreverent. he and Dan Patrick made a great team to watch. As a "news" broadcaster on msnbc he is ackward, mean spirited, biased, egotistical and worst of all, wrong about virtually everything he comments about. Were he less self absorbed and more objective he could become relevant again....but that is not likely. Reality being what it is, MSNBC isn't even relevant.

I'm shocked someone hasn't taken this guy out yet! Absolutely the worst broadcaster on the planet. My worst nightmare is he'll return to ESPN.

ESPN's best - EVER.  Discount the ratings/whining from Bush-huggers and right-wingnuts and he wins this easily.

Here's a guy who every other sports guy WOULD hate:  he's a Cornell (Ivy League) grad who does his own writing...and just about everything he's written in his "Special Comments" has been spot-on, or has been shown later to be spot-on.  I can see why he preferred to leave the sports-commentor profession, with an endless supply of loudmouthed, egotistic, overly-opinionated wannabees (the athletes who join 'em are mostly thick as a brick), who, if it were not for billions of position vacancies as sports commentors would be working behind the counter of "adult" book stores.

Typical liberal windbag...airing nothing but lefty propaganda.

Is it any wonder this guy has no ratings at all?

Keith Olbermann gets four stars out of five for his pre-MSNBC years when he was a fairly objective ESPN sports news anchor. His sense of humor and his open-air banter with Dan Patrick was spectacular. But lately (as in the past few years at MSNBC), Olbermann has forgotten his place as he has a nasty habit of offering his personal, biased opinions and comments (which are totally irrelevant if he would just present the facts and let the viewers decide for themselves). His smug "I know it all and YOU DON'T, SO SHUT UP!!!" attitude, as well as his feud with others (which ought to be kept to himself) only shows his childish need for attention. Olbermann needs to grow up for once and realize his waning popularity is due to his constant underestimating of the typical American viewer (as well as his growing ego and self-importance).

Was much better on Sportscenter than he is with politics.

Oh man, I love Keith Olberm... Wait this isn't a joke? Oh I got to get the hell outta here

incredibly smart and witty...i look forward to his show each night its on! cute too!

WAS good, get the f-out.

Best I ever saw. He must have seen the writing on the wall and got the hell out of moron town. ESPN has steadily gone downhill and is now in a freefall. I miss Keith more than any other anchor.

n/a

I like more Dan Patrick, but him and Patrick were the best combination I've seen on SportsCenter, Keith should have never left. Olbermann added very good humor and wasn't annoying.

Horrible, I hate his liberal propaganda on MSNBC too, the show will be cancelled soon. Keith Olbermann is a joke!

Keith is simply the best! His show on MSNBC is not only funny in that dry-humor sort of way, but he's also the only newscaster out there to cover all the voting irregularities. I hope the rest of the mainstream media wakes up and realizes that, if we don't get a handle on voting problems, we're no longer a democracy. Keep it Keith - someday I want to have your children!

Should never have left, Keith who?

The best! I feel bad for Dan Patrick, being paired with Olbermann's replacement Kenny Mayne. Olbermann was great; Mayne is annoying.

Great partner to Dan Patrick. Should have stayed on the show, though. Still funny and entertaining.

Keith's new show on MSNBC Countdown is simply brilliant. Too bad that O'Lielly is killing him in the ratings.

OK

Was great and one of the very best and most creative ESPN ever had. Olberman was just too brilliant for some to understand.

Put the biscuit in the basket.
