[UTUSN]

In introducing his website, ABRAMS doesn't claim to be a "fired employee."

Keith Olbermann Wants You to Remember: Dan Abrams Is Bald

Assailing PR man/humble website proprietor Dan Abrams, a known bald man with a hair-system of some kind, on last night's Countdown, thick-maned pirate Olbermann employed some very subtle wordplay. He used coded language and punnery to mock Abrams' shameful chromedomedness.

To call the details of the spat irrelevant would be giving them too much credit, so don't you worry your pretty, well-coiffed head about that. Instead, just listen to all of Keith's deft bald jokes. Which were, really, the core strengths of his entire rebuttal. A tipster lays them out:

"And in his attempt to implant his bitterness toward this place, to plug or weave it into his website, he has wigged out. He would like us to sweep his failure under the rug as if it were a bald-faced lie, or there will be hell to pay."

Cruel, masterful wordsmithery, Olbermann! Abrams is notoriously sensitive about his science hair — during his days at MSNBC, we hear the makeup people were not allowed to touch it — so that can't have felt good. Ten points for Olbermann house! Five points to Abrams because we feel bad. Won't someone be nice and go read Mediaite to make him feel better? Or, if you're really nice, Geekosystem.

A Note From Dan Abrams

by Dan Abrams | 12:38 am, July 5th, 2009
.... today I don’t know that I would be perceived as fair in reporting on someone like Jeff Zucker (ranked #1 on our T.V. Titans list). Jeff made my career as a reporter, and had the faith to make me General Manager of MSNBC. When I asked to go back to hosting a show, he let me do just that and later when MSNBC later replaced Verdict with the more network-appropriate Rachel Maddow Show (which I really like…Rachel is #40, btw), Zucker along with NBC News President Steve Capus (#7), and MSNBC President Phil Griffin (#38) went out of their way to offer me a number of other on-air positions, including another regular MSNBC anchor slot and fill-in time hosting the Today show.
Instead, I decided to start my own businesses and Jeff still encouraged me to stay on as the outside Chief Legal Analyst for NBC, which remains my title today. It would be fair to say that I might not be perceived as objective about him and more importantly about NBC since I still have a deal with them. While it’s true that one doesn’t have to look hard to find other examples of media critics who report for media entities, that is not a role I want at this time. ....

1. I had no idea there was this seething animosity between them...

I do credit Abrams with the original coverage on the corrupt Alabama legal system vis-a-vis the Don Siegelman conviction.. No one else would touch it.
