R.I.P. Theodore Olbermann: Keith Olbermann's Father Dies

By GottaLaff

Tears. Lots of them:

My father died, in the city of his birth, New York, at 3:50 EST this afternoon.

Though the financial constraints of his youth made college infeasible, he accomplished the near-impossible, becoming an architect licensed in 40 states. Much of his work was commercial, for a series of shoe store chains and department stores. There was a time in the 1970's when nearly all of the Baskin-Robbins outlets in the country had been built to his design, and under his direction.

Keith did a brilliant job of informing us while experiencing one of the most painful, difficult times of his own life. Thank you, Keith, and thank you Mr. Theodore Olbermann for raising such a wonderful son so well.

Like father, like son, like father: "Go back to your Google!"

If you ever questioned, even for a moment, that the apple fell far from the tree:

"No! You can go back to your, what do you call it, your Google, and you figure out all that."

-- Former President George H.W. Bush, in a Fox News interview, when asked if he would elaborate on some of his son's failures as president.

"You start to pity him until you remember how vast the wreckage is."
