(Newser) – Keith Olbermann explained what went wrong at Current TV by telling David Letterman he was a "$10 million chandelier" without a home to hang in. Rush Limbaugh agrees that the fired host should describe himself in terms of a household lighting fixture ... just not one quite so precious. "You're the guy wearing a $50 lampshade sitting in the corner of the room that nobody else wants to go in," Limbaugh said yesterday. "That’s what you are. Not a $10 million chandelier. Gee."

Why does that man always have to be so generous in his characterizations?  Ubermann is a $1.25 burned out 40 watt from Dollar General.  LOL

right. Keith is a sparkling chandelier while rush is a 49 cent coal mine bulb spending its entire life deep down in a very dark place where nothing but noxious gasses come out its vent hole
