Keith Olbermann needs to lighten up

By Richard K. Barry

Jimmy Kimmel took a few good shots at former MSNBC and Current TV host Keith Olbermann during Kimmel's White House Correspondents Dinner speech.

If you missed it, it went like this:

I'd like everyone to take a look under your seats. Under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann's resume. Is Keith here tonight? Limo wouldn't pick him up?

And this:

[Olbermann has] burned more bridges than the arsonist of Madison County and has more pink slips than Marcus Bachmann.

While Olbermann claimed to take the jokes in stride, saying that he was "fair game," he also pouted that Kimmel lampooned him because he didn't go on Kimmel's show recently, implying that the comments were revenge of some sort.

Nah, they were just good bits.

Come on, Keith, nobody likes a sourpuss. Smile for us. You're so much more attractive when you smile.

Gotta admit the Marcus Bachmann line was killer.
