Onward State Welp. Keith Olbermann is back at it. Except this time, he’ll be more hard-pressed to find support from his blind followers. Apparently lacking the attention he so desperately needs, his latest cry for validation used THON and its $13 million total for the kids as a springboard into calling Penn State students “pitiful.”

If there is anyone out there who can go toe to toe with a Penn Stater, its Keith Olbermann. At Penn State Debate 101 the first two things they teach is to throw logic right out of the window and ignore any legitimate argument presented.

“Joe Paterno was a god and ran that city for decades!”

Oh than why didn’t he pull the god card and shut down all the rapes he heard about?

“ERRONEOUS ERRONEOUS ERRONEOUS!”

The thing that hurts Keith here is he’s so damn smart he is, in essence, arguing in the clouds, well above the comprehension level of his current foe.

At this point, it would be best for Keith to wave the white flag. His brain is still hung up on the gross things that went on at Penn State and how the students and alumni played the victim card when sanctions were handed down. He makes a very good point, but in this case maybe should see the whole picture.

To the contrary, Penn State people need to realize that your image still has a ton of tarnish and while your donation efforts are top notch, its OK for people to still think you’re scumbags. If you’re going to fly off the handle are start sparring on Twitter, you should probably proofread.

The funny thing is that through all this banter, at the end of the day, Penn State doesn’t exist to be philanthropic, or be a football powerhouse, it’s there to educate. While millions of graduates will go on to do big things, those who have the spotlight during this debate have done a poor job displaying the benefits of a Penn State education.

Side note, Keith absolutely murdered Penn State in his rant last month. If you consider his tweet(s) an extension of the rant on his show, he is the undisputed champion of debating.

UPDATE

ESPN We are aware of the exchange Keith Olbermann had on Twitter last night regarding Penn State. It was completely inappropriate and does not reflect the views of ESPN. We have discussed it with Keith, who recognizes he was wrong. ESPN and Keith have agreed that he will not host his show for the remainder of this week and will return on Monday. The annual tradition of THON and the efforts of the students of Penn State to fight pediatric cancer should be applauded.”

Time is a flat circle. Classic tale here, Keith poke’s the bear and makes a lot of valid points. Unfortunately for him it’s a girl bear, during that time of the month, and all her little cubs have gone on to become big shots at ESPN aka his employer.

Fair enough, let him live. ESPN knew the kind of controversial guy they were getting when they brought him back. That’s why he’s in isolation in a New York studio and seldom is cross promoted with other shows. The good news for Keith is when he gets back he already has his “Worst Person in the Sporting World.”
