Pat Sajak Sorry For Unleashing Keith Olbermann on America

By Sarah Crow Posted Nov 11th 2010 01:29PM

'Wheel of Fortune' host Pat Sajak may not seem like much of a troublemaker, but the TV personality certainly has some choice words for Keith Olbermann. Sajak, a steadfast conservative, took to his Ricochet blog this week to apologize to the entire country for featuring the cable host on his short-lived talk show in 1989.

In a post titled 'Mea Culpa,' Sajak writes of the recently reinstated MSNBC star, "I was the person who introduced Keith Olbermann to America ... I'm not sure how he morphed into the bitter-sounding, hate-mongering name-caller he's become, but I'm sorry he did."

Sajak, who hosted Olbermann, then a sportscaster, on 'The Pat Sajak Show,' continued his tirade, saying, "I do know that to whatever extent the political well has been poisoned, Keith has dumped more than his share of venom into the water. I'd like to think he knows that and maybe even regrets it. I liked the Keith Olbermann of 1989."

Olbermann responded to Sajak's criticism via Twitter, calling Sajak's statements "bulls**t."

"Pat Sajak did not introduce me to America. I started on CNN the same year he started on 'Wheel,'" he writes. "I think if he needs to apologize for anything it needs to be that talk show. When he was canceled, he was replaced by a crime-and-skin series called 'Silk Stalkings,' for God's sake."

...and how often do you hear of him doing anything for the minorities in this country including those on Welfare. The man is a fraud. He should be taken off the air for good.

Liberals in general and buffuns like him are the reason why so many are on welfare and why does anybody have to do anything for minorities anyway? Are you saying they are too stupid to make it on their own.

OMG! He donated money! He's still a douchenozzle.

I'm fairly well informed and this is the first I've heard of that.

Limbaugh should hire Sajak, bad hair piece & all. He could help "spin" the right wing crap for Fox. Vanna can handle the show by herself. No more Jeopardy for me.

Julie, even Ted Bundy had his good points. What's with that stupid "enough said" expression? Does that mean that your point is indisputable?

Sajak's career seems to be careening downward. Time for his appearance on Dancing With The Stars.

Why in the world would all you "blog sitters" care what any entertainer on TV has to say about anybody or anything? Do you dim bulbs realize these people are hired for their looks and voices, not their minds or intellect? The question here is, "What would the Cookie Monster do???"

Has no one told you it is rude to shout. You do know capital letters are a nono. Right?

He raises money on occasion to manipulate dim witted folks into believing that their ideology is "pure", the way to go! For folks like him, the goal is control! WAKE UP, people. Hitler and Mussolini tried the same thing. It's in the Bolshevik playbook. And total fools fall for it!
