Just goes to prove you can go a long way without a "college education".
if you are a genius or work for fox. think olbermann is over the top, but who would you hire first?
Olbermann was born January 27, 1959, in New York City to Marie Katherine (n?e Charbonier),[16] a preschool teacher, and Theodore Olbermann, a commercial architect,[7] and is of German descent.[17] He has one younger sister, Jenna, who was born in 1968.[18] Olbermann grew up in a Unitarian household[19] in the town of Hastings-on-Hudson[20] in Westchester County, and attended Hackley School[7][9] in nearby Tarrytown.
Olbermann became a devoted fan of baseball at a young age, a love he inherited from his mother, a lifelong New York Yankees fan.[16] As a teenager, he often wrote about baseball card-collecting and appeared in many sports card-collecting periodicals of the mid-1970s. He is also referenced in Sports Collectors Bible, a 1979 book by Bert Sugar, which is considered one of the important early books for trading card collectors.[21]
While at Hackley, Olbermann began his broadcasting career as a play-by-play announcer for WHTR. After graduating from Hackley in 1975, Olbermann matriculated at Cornell University at the age of 16, a university he chose after being rejected by Harvard but being offered a full scholarship to Boston University that would have required him to complete liberal arts curriculum before becoming a communications major.[22] At college, Olbermann served as sports director for WVBR, a student-run commercial radio station in Ithaca.[22] Olbermann graduated from Cornell in 1979 with a B.S. in communications arts.[3]
He has always been this way. Now he just gets to take it out on public figures. I don't watch him, but catch his rants online from time to time, especially the epic ones. They are usually very well researched and can be downright lyrical.
I agree, he is terrific and terrifically intelligent. Surprise, surprise I watch him 5 days a week religiously,...uh I mean consistently!
