From Oblivion, Olbermann Hits Back at Kimmel's Cracks
2012-04-30
Keith Olbermann apparently didn't take too kindly to Jimmy Kimmel's ribbing of him during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner Saturday, hitting back at the comedian's digs afterward on Twitter.
Kimmel's emceeing a Big Shot dinner with the President of the United States and every celebrity in America and Olbermann's on...Twitter.
Winner: Kimmel

Kimmel had joked that he'd "like everyone to look under your seats, under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann's resume."
Who says it was a joke?
"Is Keith here tonight? Limo wouldn't pick him up?" Kimmel asked -- a reference to the former Current TV host's reported complaints about his drivers.
He's a busy man. I think one of the wheels on the shopping cart he uses to collect empties broke and he had to get it fixed.
"The thing about Keith Olbermann is, he's so likeable. 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 1,000,000."
That's why I've never seen it...
In response, Olbermann tweeted: "Funny that Jimmy Kimmel ripped me after his people desperately wanted me to fly to LA to be on his show this past Wednesday."
Ummmmmmmm...why?
He added minutes later, "I'm not complaining about the Kimmel jokes -- I'm fair game. I'm complaining about the revenge element. It reminds me of O'Reilly."
Yeah, but they're both working. So what's next, Keith? Greeter at the homeless shelter? It'll cover your room and board.

Wonder if Jimmy's band would've played "King of the Road" as Oldermann's entrance song?
