u guys have no life and get a proper name for your website!!!!
I’m thinking Anonymous is a KO hater and was elated to find a blog called “Keith Olbermann is Evil” only to have his/her hopes dashed by this eclectic collection of posts on Dan Patrick, the New York Mets, politics, history, birdwatching, etc., and very little on Mr. Olbermann. Other blogs and sites do a much better job of keeping up on Keith News; this is just the little bastard KO blog. I apologize for the deceptive blog name and sincerely hope I did not ruin your online experience. For the record, I do have a life, but it doesn’t include writing a single-themed blog. I’m interested in too many things and don’t have the discipline to blog on one topic.
OK, I hope everyone feels better now.
I read this last night: Clinton Offers Regrets for Spouse’s Remarks. At first I thought “Hey, that’s decent of her. Bill’s comments after the South Carolina primary were a thinly-veiled insult.” But then I read her statement:
“If anyone was offended about anything that was said, whether it was meant or not, whether it was misinterpreted or not, then obviously I regret that.”
Yikes! It’s the classic Non-apology Apology that Keith and Dan love to deride. I hope KO brings this up on “Countdown” tomorrow night.
Further news in the Department of Contrition, I saw this on the Sports Illustrated site (which I read a little more often than before but I still like the ESPN site better): Sorry state of affairs: Most players’ mea culpas rate low on apology meter.
The secret to a perfect apology, according to perfectapology.com, is “asking to be forgiven in the right way and at the right time.”
I agree that the apologies coming from players mentioned in the Mitchell Report are pretty weak. Eric Gagné should also apologize for taking $4 million from the Red Sox last season (he blew a bunch of saves down the stretch and I recall reading that he helped the Yankees get back into the wildcard race). Gagné signed with the Brewers this season for $10 million. Who said cheaters never win? Gagné has a World Series ring and has made millions of dollars. You can’t say the same thing for Ted Williams.
