The Cornell University Program Board has announced that they will be bringing the Edward R. Murrow of Our Time, “internationally renowned journalist” (his words, not ours) Keith Olbermann ’79, to Bailey Hall on Tuesday, March 29. The announcement reads:
CUPB is excited to present An Evening with Keith Olbermann ’79 on March 29th at 6:00 PM in Bailey Hall! Olbermann needs no introduction, but in case you’re unaware, he is a writer and political commentator who until recently hosted the nightly program Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.
Oh, trust us, CUPB, we weren’t “unaware.” We at the Insider are big fans of Keith’s and we’re just itching to see what hits he’ll pull out of his catalog to play at Bailey. Whether it’s “Bush Lied, People Died,” “John McSame. . .as Bush,” “Sarah Palin is a Stupid Liar. . .Just Like Bush,” or more recent cuts like “Bush Got My Show Canceled,” we’re sure the new “Chief News Officer” at a channel you have to pay DirecTV $1,000 a month to get won’t disappoint.
He’ll get a larger crowd in Bailey than he ever got for his show.
‘An evening with Keith Olbermann.’ What a crock. How dare they use the same pseudo-sophisticated title they used for the Elie Wiesel event.
He’s going to show us his baseball card collection
Yeah, I’m sure “The Cornell University College Republicans present an evening with Karl Rove” will be a night of reasoned, respectful political discussion as well. Give me a break.
