The always modest Keith Olbermann used the occasion of Larry King’s retirement to do a little self-promotion. He tweeted a story about King being his second biggest fan (Olbermann, of course, is always his own biggest fan).
Mediaite asked CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein about the story.
Mediaite: Last night Keith Olbermann tweeted: “Larry King is a lovely, generous man who tried, for eight years, to convince his bosses to hire me to be his 8 PM lead-in at CNN.” Is this true?
Klein: Well it didn’t work.
Mediaite: But is it true?
Klein: Larry’s got a million ideas a day.
Tranlation: “The senile old codger told a dozen other guys the same thing. Olbermann’s the only one who believed it.”
