I *know* this is shallow ...... but did anyone see Olbermann on Letterman last night?

[Stinky The Clown]

Was that an ill fitting suit or is he plumping up a lot?

Or maybe both.

He was obviously VERY uncomfortable in the suit and VERY self conscious of it..

[LSparkle]

1. OMG -- I JUST thought that the other night when I saw him on "Countdown"!

Is his young chickie girlfriend (yes, I'm an old, bitter woman!)
feeding him too well????

[Catshrink]

2. I wondered about that

and thought maybe it was because we were seeing a different camera angle and TV does "add" pounds.

Given the size of my butt though, I have no standing to rag on KO about being chunky.

[hisownpetard]

3. I didn't realize he had "plumped up" a bit until he had his 5-yr Countdown anniversary

and showed clips from the past 5 years. I don't remember him being as thin as he was back then.

Some of it may have been from giving up smoking.

I love Keith, through thick or thin!

[momster]

16. His Makeup was Awfully Orange Then

Maybe because of the different technology...videotape makes you orange (?) but I noticed that the pancake they used 5 years ago was Daily Kos orange. A coincidence?...hmmm....

[panader0]

4. that's just too shallow to reply to

Actually, I didn't see it. But I like KO

[Stinky The Clown]

8. So .... you didn't see the show and don't respond to shallow posts ......

.... but felt the need to state that in this thread. For what? The Record?

Is that about it?

Run along ......

[Warpy]

5. Could it be concealing Kevlar?

You know what he's saying is unpopular with the lunatic fringe out there. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out he's getting credible death threats.

[glowing]

6. He's not that far out there.. he could be worse..

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

7. He does seem to have a bit of a belly now

If he gains another 400 or 500 pounds, he may catch up to Rush Limbaugh

[Stinky The Clown]

9. "A bit of a belly"

"Thick" is the term that occurred to me.

[Maddy McCall]

21. Probably because he quit smoking.

[NNN0LHI]

10. I thought it was that pregnant guy walking out for a minute

Must be eating well.

Don

[Cleita]

11. He's getting that middle aged "beer belly" thing.

I always thought he was a guy who enjoyed his food and his beer. It may mean he either needs to get new suits or diet down to fit into the old ones.

[poiuytsister]

12. I didn't watch last night but after reading this thread I watched

when they showed the replay on Countdown. He is definitely seems to be gaining weight. And on top on it Letterman called him gigantic. Keith wasn't sure how to take that altho I guess if it bothered him that much he wouldn't have showed the clip.

[hisownpetard]

18. Letterman said Keith was "an enormous man." For whatever reason, KO seemed to

delight in it.

[AlCzervik]

13. he looks the same to me which is---F O I N E!

[ShortnFiery]

14. Yeah, it's shallow. But equally shallow is my opinion that Keith would still be mega-handsome

to me even if he plumped up to 300 lbs. :shrug:

I guess that I'm a typical woman who considers the sexiest part of a man's body THAT is situated between his ears. ;) :smoke:

Love Ya Keith Olbermann! :loveya: :yourock:

[CTyankee]

17. Well, what if I like the "other part, too?"

Just sayin'.

[muffin1]

15. Didn't see it, but

he could weigh a thousand pounds, and he'd still be sexy as all hell.:loveya:

[seabeyond]

19. he always has had it from what i remember.... for a while anyway. desk hides it

i remember beeing so surprised seeing him one time from behind the desk, a year or two ago.... yup. he is who he is....

[seabeyond]

22. more surprising is colbert with a toupee. he joked again last night about it

a couple months ago he had pulled back of hair, looking like he had a toupee. i started a "boy isnt this shallow" thread on that. not that i care, nor do i care about ko's weight, i am not nearly the ass so many of our people are with women and their appearance, i digress.... but.... started a thread on colberts toupee and consensus was he didnt have one. but last night again he SAID something about his toupee (having something? under it) and pulled the back again, making it look like he is wearing one.

see that surprises the shit out of me. i am not good at seeing that. but if he does, sure is a good one.

[defendandprotect]

20. His glasses are also too small for him --- his face is blowing up ---
