"I Have Never Fought the Word 'Genius' When People Have Said That About Me"

From Newsbuster.org via Ace of Spades HQ:

First of all, before I link it, do yourself a favor and guess who said it.

It's not unguessable. You might not guess it, but when you see the answer, you'll say "Oh of course."

It's not Obama. I'll get you off that particular trail so you have a better chance. .............................

To avoid putting you on the wrong track, I will tell you this person is insane to believe that he avoids anger, but it's completely inevitable that he should believe this about himself.

Okay, that's plenty of information. Now guess this douchebag.

On the cover of the latest Esquire magazine is this quote from ESPN host Keith Olbermann: "I’ve never fought the word genius when people have said that about me." In a "What I've Learned" interview, Olbermann added, "But what it is is instinct and a set of skills that are working so fast you don’t know they’re working."

Keith also declared "I have a leafy brain, according to the theory of the leafy brain. I associate things that many people never put together." This sounds like someone's brain on leaves...and a lighter.

He is always the adult in the room, and there is no one dumber than television executives, who have just never figured out how the word genius applies to him: "Don’t assume that anybody above you actually knows what they’re doing. And if you find somebody who does, stick to them like glue. Because the further you go into your career, the more you will discover to your absolute horror that you are the adult."

Talk about a total lack of self awareness and narcissism, he must be related to Alec Balswin ! ! ! !
