The only GE employee permitted to openly stalk people is at it again. Keith had another long segment about Rush Limbaugh on his Countdown show tonight when the glamorous Arianna Huffington was a guest .
Rush has asked Keith to please stop talking about him and try to get over his fixation, but the more Rush rejects Keith, the more Keith refuses to quit Rush.
This is a pattern with Olbermann. He is morphing from a serious news anchor into a deranged stalker who seems to have an obsession with powerful conservative men.
It has been documented in the past that Keith has issues with women, but I am not sure anyone has called Keith out for being a stalker.
Did you ever notice Keith's favorite picture of Rush is the one with the big cigar? Strange, no? Of all the images of Rush he could find, Keith chooses that one? Let's hope Freud is right and that in this case "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar?"
Keith cannot seem to stay away from these type of men. They are like catnip to him. Show Keith a famous middle aged guy with his own show or one in elected office and Olbermann is likely to become fixated. You can't shake him. He WILL NOT be ignored. In fact, the more you ignore him the more desperate he acts to get their attention.
Olbermann is like an obsessed cougar on the prowl. And he will do whatever he can to get attention from these men. He tries to bait them, embarrass them and get them to acknowledge him. When they continue to ignore him, he spends his valuable prime time hour gossiping endlessly about them on his show. Usually with one of his girlfriends like Arianna Huffington.
Keith is a very tortured person. He focuses on powerful conservatives, yet does not let him on his show. Instead, he fills his shows with men like Michael Musto, David Shuster, and Mo Rocca. Men who are not the type he obsesses about. Men who do not drive him crazy. I have often wondered why Keith does not permit on strong conservative voices on countdown.
Perhaps he fears he could not control himself if he had on a strong conservative type?
Watching Keith gossip tonight with Arianna reminded me of two best friends at a slumber party tearing down the guy who was ignoring them to make themselves feel better. Does anybody doubt Arianna would switch back to the GOP in a second if Rush asked her out? She would dump Keith for Rush in a New York minute. Mark my words.
[Side note: I will concede Arianna is very attractive, although not nearly as hot as when she was writing conservative newspaper column in the early 90s. She looked great the other morning on Squawk Box and should guest host more often. Don't get me wrong, Wilbur Ross and Ken Langone are smart and all, but AH is a little easier on the eyes at such an early hour.]
With his petty grudges, temper tantrums, and powerful men obsession Keith would fit in perfectly with the Housewives of NYC. I bet Keith definitely DVRs the show and identifies with Betheny and hates Kelly. He probably dishes about the show with those staffers off camera who you can often hear giggling loudly at Keith's incredibly witty insights and insults.
Olby must be crawling with jealousy over the report that MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell is being considered for the Houswives of Washington DC.
Keith, it is time to get over your obsession. No matter how much you act out and try to get the attention of these men, it ain't happening. They just aren't into you nearly as much as you are into them. You must know your obsession with them is not normal.
Perhaps it explains why Keith is so into collecting baseball cards. I guess he has a fixation on baseball players and powerful conservatives. (Rush did use to work for the Kansas City Royals which I am sure pushes all of Keith's buttons.)
God forbid a photo of Rush, Sean, Michael Steele or Bill O'Reilly shows up in a baseball uniform. It could be what finally pushes Keith completely over the edge.
