Earlier this evening, Twitter went nuts when Keith Olbermann said something during his program. You’ll never guess what it was!
Just how stupid was MSNBC’s suspension of obviously skewed political commentator Keith Olbermann? He got paid during it.

I ran out to discover this full rainbow over the National Cathedral! It had to have covered the entire city of DC. There is no doubt in my mind that it was from Tim Russert himself.”
