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.”

larry king is a senile leftist twit. of course he would love olberpussy. probably one of the best lays he has ever had!
Slight misunderstanding: He wanted Keith to be his piss-boy.
Olbermann is a legend in his own mind.
Not only that, he has burned so many bridges & pissed off so many people every place he has worked that I find it very hard to believe that he was wanted by anyone, let alone CNN. He is drama queen who has to have his way, too many Friday's off, & makes too much money for the low number of viewers he has to be worth the trouble.
