It’s a special day for a special reason: It’s Keith Olbermann‘s birthday! He‘s 52 yet doesn’t look a day over 54.
Here at THE BLAZE we want to wish him well and another fantastic year on the edge of obscurity. And while we won’t actually be giving Olbermann anything for his 52nd year on Earth, we did have ideas of things we thought would make great gifts. After all, it’s the thought that counts.
Here’s what some members of our team had in mind for Olbermann…
National Security Correspondent Buck Sexton– “A suit that fits.”
Assistant Editor Madeleine Morgenstern– “Emergency candles, in case his studio lights blow out again.”
THE BLAZE magazine editor Chris Field– “The gift of self-awareness.”
Business Editor Becket Adams– “I’d buy him a shot… of dignity.”
Front-Page Editor Jon Seidl– “A Twitter war. I’ve always wanted to get in one with him, but honestly have been afraid I won’t be able to contain myself once it started.”
Faith Editor Billy Hallowell– “An education: with a major in common sense and a minor in reading comprehension. ”
“Sparks” Editor Mike Opelka- (Opelka wanted to get Olbermann a gift but…) “I went by The Humility Hut, but they had nothing big enough to cover him.”
READERS– Leave your gift ideas for Olbermann in the comments section below!

Posted on January 29, 2012 at 7:07amI can’t help picturing his eyes adjusting to the flash of lighting that match, to find that he’s just lit the candle wick-length fuse of a beautiful, white, stick of Dynamite!
Many happy returns!

Posted on January 28, 2012 at 4:58amA birthday cake made from “contributions” from fellow and former colleagues and subordinates.
Perhaps the birthday card from his boss included a carbon offset certificate to compensate for the output of the candles. Not enough in the world to offset the bluster from even one of his tirades.

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 5:02pmI never met him, but probably something from Pottery Barn. Maybe a candle from Yankee Candle. They have good deals and it is hard to shop for someone you don’t really know. I figured something topical and easy would be best for a gift.
