At Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner, Jimmy Kimmel said some pretty mean things about Keith Olbermann's absence.
First, he instructed attendees to check under their seats for the recently ousted Current TV host's résumé before asking, "Is Keith here tonight?" (No, he wasn't.) And he did not stop there.
"Limo wouldn’t pick him up? The thing about Keith Olbermann is he’s so likable."
The Limousine crack related to Olbermann’s reliance on a leased car and driver. Olbermann does not drive because he lost depth perception in his vision due to an accident in 1980.
Back to the Kimmel unintentional intentional roast
"Al Gore launched Current TV in 2005 and it took off like a North Korean rocket," Kimmel continued. "To be honest, I didnt even know Current TV was still on the air, but then I don’t get channel a million."
After a few more weeks of skewering Olbermann, he will probably fade into the sunset. He has burned too many bridges to be hired. Besides, he is really no longer relevant.
