Anyone else catch Keith Olberman's brief reference to "Full Metal Jacket" tonight?

If so, what was it in reference to? I missed that. He quoted Gunny Hartman's line to Pyle ("disgusting fat-body") over the jelly dough-nut incident.

BTW: Got FMJ rolled up on the old home screen now!

1. I got my kid the Stanley Kubrick boxed set for Christmas

FMJ was one of the DVD. Great movie. But sorry, I don't usually watch KO until midnight, so I didn't see the reference.

6. But he did say "disgusting fat-body" ...

That was a reference to Laurence (Pyle).

3. Keith has been on fire the last three days

He has been very, very funny and perceptive, imo.

5. Well, the past few days have borne him gifts that keep on giving

I mean, that business with Paul Begala and Fox News--that's like a bag of gold landing on your head!

7. Yeah, but even that didn't beat Billo's meltdown at the Obama rally.

It's as if God smiled down on Keith and said "You've been waiting long enough for this...here it is."

8. And of course there's Sean Hannity's steeple chase through the mean streets of New Hampshire

with Ron Paul signs and American flags playing the role of pitchforks and torches! Keith hit the trifecta, you might say!
