Pat Sajak has "apologized" for introducing Keith Olbermann to America. Olbermann fires back.

[WillParkinson]

Wingnut Wheel Of Fortune host Pat Sajak has "apologized" for introducing Keith Olbermann to America. Olbermann fires back.

Pat Sajak did not introduce me to America. I started on CNN the same year he started on “Wheel” (1981) and by the time I guested on his show in 1989, I’d already spent three years as a national sports correspondent for CNN, had a feature done on me by The Today Show (1986), been on the CBS Evening News (1988), and begun guest-hosting on ESPN (1989). I think if he needs to apologize for anything it needs to be that talk show. When he was canceled, he was replaced by a crime-and-skin series called “Silk Stalkings,” for God’s sake.

1. Pat who? Maybe if he was a guest on Olbermann i could learn who he is.

[romantico]

3. Jealous!

Keith is an intelligent newsman. Pat is a game show host. I rest my case.

[JuniperLea]

9. And his show is for people who can't make it on Jeopardy...

I'm betting Keith would do just fine on Jeopardy... Pat... not so much.

[rurallib]

22. I think Pat was on Jeopardy once IIRC

and it was brutal. not quite Wolf Blitzer brutal, but close.

[GoCubsGo]

31. He DID do just fine on Jeopardy.

Al Franken beat him by a buck, and they both stomped Gretchen Carlson:

On edit: Run your mouse pointer over the dollar amounts for each question. They have the transcripts for the conversations between Alex and the player who won that question. Pretty funny.

2. Pat Sajak SHOULD apologize, It was Rush Limbaugh he brought us

I had never even heard of that fat fuck Limbaugh until he replaced Sajak for the last few weeks of his talk show's pathetic life.

[RedSpartan]

4. Outrageous!

Keith needs to apologize for his apology! I have two words for Keith and his backhand against "Silk Stalkings:"

Mitzi. Kapture.

[dsc]

5. Yeah I worshiped at the alter of Estes

great show or at least great eye candy.

[QC]

14. He's even hotter now than he was then.

[dsc]

15. yeah to think he is four years older than I am

let's just say only one of us aged well.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Oh, _N_P!

[laughingliberal]

7. KO! nm

[quinnox]

8. Instead, Sajak should apologize for unleashing his lack of

any real talent on the unsuspecting masses via TV. What a douche.

[Gold Metal Flake]

10. Rec...nt

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Pat SDajak? That buffoon???????? BTW ..I really liked SIlk Stalkings....

Never have..and never will watch "Wheel of Fortune"

[Kablooie]

12. Vanna White apologized for introducing Pat Sajak to America.

[progressoid]

13. He's still alive?

[earth mom]

16. Sajak is just jealous that he is stuck on a mindless game show & no one likes him.

Karma, Pat, Karma. :evilgrin:

[Johonny]

21. it's like that show sucked his will to live

I saw him in 2008 getting interviewed. Anything that was energetic or interesting about him was gone. He clearly became the person he depicts on that brain dead show.

[EFerrari]

17. LOL! That's funny. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

18. HAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

[Scurrilous]

19. K & R

:thumbsup:

[fadedrose]

20. Whose Pat Sajak now? What a sneaky way to get his name in the news again...eom

[glinda]

23. Pat trying to ride on Keith's coat tails. Jealous and desperate.

[11 Bravo]

24. I see Sajak at Washington Capitals games all the time.

I think a friendly, "Hey Pat, Keith and I both say FUCK YOU may be in order."

[fascisthunter]

25. another smug little right wing piece of shit

enjoy your millions wimp boy!

[upi402]

26. Pat is beyong irrelevant

he's an imbarrassment with respect to American society.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. I saw pat being interviewed once.

He's fairly bright, but his main problem is that he thinks he's cute and obviously has an inflated opinion of himself.

As far as Keith, I cannot believe his transformation from 1989 complete dork (I would not have given him the time of day) to Countdown's senior studmuffin! Some guys just get better with age!

Dear Hubby is one of those.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

28. Hey, hey!!! I liked Silk Stalkings!

Fuck Sajak for putting Limpballs on.

[Festivito]

29. Zajak's grandiose idiocy is so indicative of the RW. /nt

[JoePhilly]

30. I'd like to solve the puzzle .... SMACK!!
