Olbermann Lifts Self-Imposed Twitter Ban After Only 3 Days

It looks like Keith Olbermann just can’t go without his 140-character messages. After announcing on Thursday that he was suspending his Twitter account due to a tweet war over Julian Assange, Olbermann released his digital self from exile late last night:
As of publication time on Monday morning, Olbermann has not tweeted anything new.
Some readers may remember that Olbermann pulled a similar stunt with his TV segment “Worst Person in the World.” That ban lasted about two weeks. It’s unclear if Olbermann is also a yo-yo dieter.
UPDATE:
Olbermann has finally started tweeting again. Tommy Christopher gives a full run-down of 140 character messages. Here’s how Christopher sums them up: “Someone should gently suggest to Olbermann that when you’re already in a hole, stop digging.”

Posted on December 20, 2010 at 10:04amWas there any doubt that Olbermann wouldn’t get back on Twitter. After all he is the king twit of twitter. I don‘t and won’t follow him on twitter or anywhere else. I like the one post saying that his 5 folllowers going on 6. But I think he has the total a little high. Only if the FCC would listen to the people and get these clowns off the air. Because evidently you don’t have to report any truth to stay on the air.

Posted on December 20, 2010 at 9:53amRight MAMA , I do the same thing during commercial breaks on FOX ,and I can only take a few seconds.. But they do say, you should listen to both or rather ALL sides .. I’ll tell ya though, all they do is report on what is going on at FOX, so why listen to them spin a FOX story, when I can go straight to the horses mouth and actually get the truth.. ?? right ?

True, tamalies of javalinas are good, though I prefer mine basted with thick layers of butter and the full trimmings. The reference to the javalinas is that they would not even touch the picture of the guy, and a javalina (to non AZ blazers) will literally eat ALMOST anything.
