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.

1. I think KO would enjoy this, too! Thanks! nt

[Wetzelbill]

2. You're welcome!

Good to see you, babylonsister, been a little while.

[babylonsister]

3. I see you more elsewhere than here; I honestly

didn't know you were a writer. I'm glad you are; you're good imo. Keep it up, Bill. :hi:

[Wetzelbill]

4. thank you very much!

Yup, I live to write. Sometimes serious, sometimes not obviously. :) Yes probably on FB right? I am over there much more than here. I never remember DUer names to real names though, lol.

[babylonsister]

6. Yes, FB. And we're friends.

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

7. I know

I just can't remember your real name, lol.

I can't tell you how many times I've coordinated with people unknowingly back and forth between DU and FB, lol.

[RavensChick]

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.

:)

5. There is only one cure for the Mc Rib jones...

Cold Turky....And the golden arches should add it to the menue...could be called Mc Turk....and if you got it bad get the Big McTurk.

[Wetzelbill]

10. you know

I have never had one. Seeing as how people go so crazy over them I think I'll abstain.

[zeemike]

17. Actually I did not even know they existed until you told me.

I seldom eat fast food...and when i do it is usually a sub sandwich from Subway.

[Ken Burch]

31. They could have Donald Faison from "Scrubs" advertise it:

"Turk likes the McTurk!".

[Roon]

8. I once worked at a mcdonald's

I was working the counter the day after they quit selling the mcrib. Some people got ENRAGED! It's sucked working the counter after that/

[Wetzelbill]

9. I've heard people go crazy over it

We live in a bizarre country, lol.

[Roon]

11. Yeah, the simpsons did a gag over the whole mcrib thing

Pretty good episode.

[Wetzelbill]

14. the Krusty Ribwich

lol Here is the episode: http://smotri.com/video/view/?id=v10781240858

[Roon]

22. Nice!

Thanks for the link!

[Wetzelbill]

23. You're welcome!

[scarletwoman]

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.

:mad:

[Wetzelbill]

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.

[Patsy Stone]

13. Afternoon K&R

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Wetzelbill]

16. muchos gracias!

:)

[Catshrink]

18. Thanks for the chuckle.

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

[Wetzelbill]

19. lol

You're welcome.

[Turborama]

20. K&R Thanks for the laugh, Bill. Great to see you!

Either I've been missing your posts, or you've been AWOL for a while? :hi:

[Wetzelbill]

21. yes I have been

I was gone visiting my parents for a few months and they don't have a computer, then when I got back home I had computer trouble for almost a month. Great to see you too!

[blondeatlast]

24. Recced for the phrase alone, no spoilers though for those who won't bother to read.

Well done yet again, sir.

[Wetzelbill]

25. Thank you!

I appreciate the rec!

[Wetzelbill]

27. Kick

[Catshrink]

28. Kick again

[Ken Burch]

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.

[Melissa G]

30. Ah, Wetzelbilll is back! A few posts from Mr K and DU will be much improved again!

:grouphug:

[Catshrink]

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.
