After a very intense lead story yesterday (Please read, if you have not.), hereβs something light. Wave at cousin FatCat. π
Doesnβt Tina do a wonderful job channeling Mooseolini, The tweeting tundra twit?
It pains me to share so great a loss to one who has given us so much.
Theodore Olbermann, father of MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, died this afternoon after suffering complications from a surgery last year. Keith posted a tribute to his father at his Baseball Nerd blog a short time ago.
"He was my inspiration, and will always remain so," he wrote. "His bravery these last six months cannot be measured. He is as much my hero now, as he was when I was five years old."
In the past few months, Olbermann did not anchor a number of "Countdown" episodes so he could spend time with his dad. He had also discussed his father’s hospitalization several times on the program.
Condolences and notes can be sent to countdown@msnbc.com

I hope you will join me in letting Keith know that he and his are in our thoughts and prayers.
