Olbermann wants life chronicled on True Hollywood Story

Olbermann addressed the topic on his latest blog posting on MSNBC.com, writing, “I feel I would be doing the human race a huge injustice if I didn’t at least make an effort to show the world how witty and, at the same time, undeniably sexy I have been for nearly a half century now. I also want the opportunity to clear the air regarding rumors that suggest I quit my job at ESPN because Dan Patrick and I had a falling-out. On the contrary, I left because the so-called ‘Worldwide Leader in Sports‘ is home to some of the ugliest people I have ever seen. Spend enough time around uggos, and… well, I think you know what can happen. So I got out while I still could.”

In pushing for what seems to be a pompous and profit-generating self-promotion rather than life story, the sports talking head turned political mud-slinger went on to say that, once finished, his exploits should be broadcast not on E!, but rather on pay-per-view television, requiring viewers to pay a fee of nearly $50 to tune in.

“Look, Keith Olbermann is a privilege, and you have to pay for some privileges,” Olbermann said, by way of defending his plan. “It’s the American way. I’m trying to do this country a service. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
