Official "Get Well Soon" thread for Keith Olbermann

[Faygo Kid]

An appendectomy on Friday. Don't believe that "all you can eat" ice cream stuff, Keith! (Maybe that's a tonsillectomy. Whatever.) Anyway, all good DUers rally around this man of courage who is not afraid to punch the neocons in the gut (bad analogy). Get well soon, Keith, and may you have the very best in medical care. . .

[gateley]

1. Absolutely. I remember when he did his piece on "The Beginning of The End of

America" -- it was ALL OVER the internet. He contributes a lot of good stuff. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

[liberaldemocrat7]

71. Get Well Mr. Olbermann

Your appendix might have left

but Bush still remains

We need you back

for your wit and your brains

We're stuck with Bush

and his Republican horde

but when we watch you

We never get bored

in 2000 our party got Gored

you arrived years later

and you really scored

Yes, you work as hard and as well as Mr. Murrow

We need to send Bush back to Texas on a slow moving Burro.

Thank you Mr. Olbermann please get well.

[hisownpetard]

85. BULLETIN****KEITH: If Alberto Gonzales comes into your hospital room, DO NOT

SIGN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!! : If you open your eyes and see a short, pudgy man standing at your bedside
who keeps repeating, "Keith, I don't recall, Keith, I don't know, Keith, I can't remember - here, sign this,"
please have him imediately removed from your room. I'll explain later! But, in the meantime, just heed
this warning and - believe me! -he's up to no good.

[TwilightGardener]

2. Heal up--we need ya in fighting form!

[The Wielding Truth]

3. Keith, get well soon. Your eloquence and insight is always

needed.

[Janice325]

4. Oh, I did not know!!

Get well soon, Keith.
Sending you lots of love, hugs, and hopes for a speedy recovery. :grouphug:

[Mabus]

5. Get well KO

We miss you.

K&R. Off to the greatest with you.

[hisownpetard]

7. Noooooooooooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Not my Keifie!!!!!!!!!!!! What will I do

until he's well? What will we ALL do?

This is not sarcasm. This is the sound of a heart breaking (albeit only temporarily),
till he's back at that desk and we can once again hear those wonderful baritone syllables (WHICH
of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?) indicating that there is, indeed, other intelligent life
on the planet, someone who feels the way we do about most issues of importance.

Lots of love and healing kisses to Keith. Get well immediately, if not sooner!!!!!!!!!!!

[Faygo Kid]

14. Courage.

As Dan Rather once bizarrely used as a catchphrase, and as another so eloquently reminded us:

Who put the ape in ape-ricote?

Whatta they got that I ain't got?

Courage!

[hisownpetard]

53. Thank you for the inspirational words, which brought to mind another bit of

inspirationalia, posed in an even more searchingand gut-wrenching question, to wit:

Who put the LAM in lam-a-lamma-ding-dong??

My answer? Why, it must have been that wascally wascal, BILL-O.

Keith, come back soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

[EST]

38. They said Allison will sub for him monday and tuesday.

Although I am always disappointed when Keith is awol, Allison Stewart is the best temporary replacement money can buy.

[hisownpetard]

54. Yup, I totally agree.

[fooj]

190. Yep. I really like her.

Get well soon, Keith!

Truth is our most powerful weapon!

[Mabus]

56. I know what I'll have to do

I'll have to sit through at least two Countdowns with my husband bitching about KO not being there. Meanwhile I'll be miserable because I'll be missing KO too.

[Greylyn58]

Sympathies Keith; Been there, done that. No, there's no ice cream. But the drugs are VERY strong.

And just a forewarning...don't let your "friends" make you laugh. It hurts like hell.

51. Mr. O, PLEASE don't let John Stossel into your hospital room!

He'll poison your IV's and claim it was Michael Moore who killed you. And he'll provide evidence from GE and Halliburton to prove it.

Stay safe, get well, and come back. You're the only one who's fighting for us, and we don't need a corporate shill to take your place.

97. Oh, NO!

My (79 yr) dad calls me on the phone, but at one minute to the hour says, "Gotta go... Keith's on."

Now I'm gonna be stuck with listening to his garden tales for a week!!!!

Maybe there's an upside, he won't be calling me first thing in the morning with "DID YOU SEE KEITH'S SPECIAL COMMENTS LAST NIGHT??!!"

(I turned Dad onto KO in Nov., and now he has his TV set to automatically turn KO on at the right time. Phooey on 'demographics'.)

Please get up & attem quick, Keith!

[girl_interrupted]

136. Keith, You are The Joseph Welch of Our Generation

Words can not express the gratitude we all have for you, for speaking up. And you do it with great class, intelligence & eloquence.

During the McCarthy hearings Joseph Nye Welch had the courage to speak up: "Have you no sense of decencey, Sir?" We loved hearing you repeating those words in your "Special Comments" segments. Someone has to be asking that question of this administration and you do, and you do it, brilliantly.


Anyways, Take Care, Do what your doctors tell you & feel better soon! You are one New Yorker, who makes all of us here, so proud! We'll miss you till you return. We Love You!

137. Wishing you a speedy recovery

and return to TV. America needs you!
Be well.

[FREEWILL56]

138. As one who has enjoyed hearing you so eloquently

state the truth about these damn republicons, PLEASE GET WELL AND STAY WELL so that we may hear you continue to tell the truth that so desperately needs said in this era of one sided media blitzes. I too had mine removed after it had burst and you must watch out for other things that I found out the hard way. Do watch for any hernias as some people do develope them following operations. Also, watch for being abnormally not hungry for days with a sudden inability to keep anything down. This is the indicator of an ulcer brought on by the physical stresses of being operated on and this can kill you as it almost did to me and has nothing to do with being a mentally overstressed worrywart that some stereotype it as being from. I say this not in sympathy to me, but as preventative to you. Sh*t happens.

[LosinIt]

139. Take the best care

We will miss your wisdom and courage whilst you are recovering. Thanks for getting me through a rough time in my life. Your show was the only event I have had to look forward to in life for many months, but I am starting a new job today so you couldn't have timed this better ;-)

[ClintonTyree]

140. Get well soon, Keith.

America needs your voice now, more than ever.

192. If excellence in broadcasting was the determining factor in recovery from surgery, you've earned the

swiftest, most pain-free recuperation in the world! :web:

:patriot: Come back to us soon, Keith!

[Arugula Latte]

197. THIS is the story we'll be talking about tomorrow

I don't know whether Keith will ever see this thread, but I, too, want to add my sincere wishes for a speedy recuperation. Countdown is never the same (or nearly as good) when someone else is hosting as a substitute for Mr. Olbermann. His eloquence and talent for maintaining the right balance between serious discussion and a lighthearted view of the more frivolous stories of the day are indispensable, and he is irreplaceable.

ALSO: Next time, Keith, please do not accept any boxes of candy with cards congratulating you on your ratings success if they are sent by anyone with the initials B.O.

[rhett o rick]

Get well fast Keith and go home where you can really relax. Check your meds before you swallow them. You just NEVER know! ;-)

Darn those vestigial structures. Good thoughts sent your way KO.
