Far-left pundit Keith Olbermann, a man with a lengthy record of employment changes, decided to take a shot at popular commentator Megyn Kelly’s own employment record.
It didn’t end very well.
Olbermann’s ire was initially raised by the fact that Kelly had suggested former Fox News host Tucker Carlson would be better off after his recent firing, and blasted the ladies (I assume) of “The View” for being jealous of his ratings.
“What would you know about successfully hosting a show? Fired by Fox, fired by NBC,” Olbermann tweeted. “You’re 0-for-2 and you couldn’t get a job cleaning the studio at The View.”
If Kelly is 0-for-2 she’s still about 12 games ahead of Olbermann in the standings. Keith, whose podcast rants make him seem about as well-connected to reality as Dash Dobrofsky, has been fired and/or suspended from Fox Sports, Current TV, ESPN (multiple times) and MSNBC/NBC.
If one were to look up the phrase ‘pot calling the kettle black,’ Olbermann’s tweet would be featured as an example.

Megyn Kelly Just Destroys Keith Olbermann
The man without a media home, because he burned so many bridges throughout his career, calling out somebody else’s professional moves is incredibly rich.
Keith Olbermann’s rant didn’t end well for him when Megyn Kelly decided to respond – and she got very personal.
Kelly began by arguing that neither her departure from NBC News or Fox News was the result of being fired.
“First of all, you misstate the circumstances of my departure from NBC, sir. That’s all I’m allowed to say about it,” she said.
“And as for Fox, there were widely reported facts that I was offered $100 million to stay there.”
That’s when she really unloaded.

Things Just Got Personal
Megyn Kelly, whose own Sirius XM show has highlighted a fiery personality not previously seen on her mainstream media programs, got very passionate in her response to Olbermann.
“But the record is very clear that I left voluntarily because I wanted to raise my family,” Kelly suggested. “Something you don’t know anything about because no one would marry you.”
She didn’t exactly let up either.
“And you have no children,” Kelly continued.
“You have a cold, lonely life in which you’ve become a bitter, bitter man,” she said of the Colonel Sanders doppelganger.
“Something I wouldn’t know anything about because my life is joyful and I’ve managed to raise my own children. And someday I hope you have that pleasure,” added Kelly.
“But I don’t have high hopes it’s going to happen.”
Good Lord, somebody call the paramedics.
Olbermann’s seething anger in his podcast videos makes him the left’s version of Alex Jones. His unhinged rants about former President Donald Trump are a case study in psychological disorders.
He once dared to claim Osama bin Laden had done less harm to the American people than Trump.
And all of it looks like child’s play compared to what Kelly just delivered.
Why do you separate yourself from the terrorists, Dondi? You and your family have done more damage to America than Bin Laden + ISIS combined https://t.co/TaKeIP6RFt

Olbermann, once an absolute darling of the liberal media, made an announcement that he was retiring from political commentary back in 2017.
He did so on a political show sponsored by GQ that airs on YouTube. Why? Because he burned so many bridges elsewhere.
Unfortunately, he has not stayed retired.
OMG @megynkelly just dragged Keith Olbermann over a field of broken glass and then helped him wash his wounds with salty lemon water before pushing him down a flight of stairs. ??? pic.twitter.com/VQHxxxON6k

After Megyn Kelly was through with him, we’d imagine Keith probably wished he had kept his word about retiring.
