Keith Olbermann has found solace in the McRib

Diary Entry by Bill Wetzel

Keith Olbermann has found solace in the loving arms of the McRib.

::::::::

Suspended MSNBC anchor, Keith Olbermann is reportedly soothing his wounds with a newfound love of the McDonald's McRib sandwich. The McRib, also known as The C*cktease of the Sandwich World, has recently been added back on the McDonald's menu after a sufficient withdrawal-inducing hiatus, where it will then be taken off, then added on, then taken off, and added on in a perpetual mindf**k cycle calibrated to increase sales and terrorize the weakest consumers among us.

Olbermann's suspension has caused great rancor in the Librul blogosphere, so much so that they have evidently forgotten that a tearful drunken orange is likely to be the next Speaker of the House. However, those close to Olbermann are also concerned with his welfare, and no not the kind that people who sit on the couch and do nothing all day long receive.

"Keith is depressed, all he does is eat those damned McRibs, I'm afraid he'll soon move on to cooking them on a spoon and injecting them into his veins!" grieves an unnamed Olbermann relative who I totally made up.

An Olbermann spokesman countered: "Keith is in a hard place now and Mr. McRib makes all the pain go away, at least he's not addicted to falafels like somebody else we know."

President Obama was drinking a 200 million dollar cup of Darjeeling tea in India and could not be reached for comment.

In other news, UFC middleweight contender, Nate "The Pretty Decent" Marquardt has visited a library for the second time in his life.

26. I'm on FB too!
It's like a see saw going up and down between here and FB but surprisingly I manage.

Great post, BTW. I only had the McRib once and that was over 25 years ago. Guess what's old is new again, in a sense.

12. You know, if you hadn't suspended your campaign for president none of these disasters
would have happened.

And now you think you can just casually sashay back into DU with your clever little satire and your cute ass, and assume all is forgiven.

Well, I for one have NOT FORGOTTEN, WB, and I will blame YOU to my dying breath for the fact that I am compelled to consume unwholesome amounts of alcoholic beverages in order to cope with the pain of living in a world of simulacra and simulation, and an orange-skinned Speaker of the House.

It's all your fault.

15. All of you Wetzelbill-o-bots are the same
You blame me and never share the alcohol. I weep at the bottom of a bottle for my country too. And when I think just how much I could abuse my travel privileges as president, I weep even more.

I was drawn in at first - and thought OMG, I hope he doesn't gain any more weight. Silly me.

Well done yet again, sir.

29. "The Pretty Decent" went back to the library? Oh, NO!!!
Nate said he was "off the books". Now his friends will need to do an intervention.

32. The place could use a little humor.
It's a either a war zone or Olbermania. But, I'd rather have Olbermania than Palinfinitum.
