DC Trawler

Dear Keith Olbermann

Font Size:

whataguyHi, Keith. Nice to talk to you! You look good. Is that silk? That’s lovely.

Okay, let’s get started. I’ve been a big fan of yours for years, and I know that a big part of your job is searching the Internet to find insulting nicknames for people and organizations you don’t like, and then reading them on the air very loudly. This is a valuable service, so I figured I’d help out a bit.

Here are a few quips you might be able to use on your show, if and when you make this blog Worst Person in the World. (Fingers crossed!)

The DC Troller
The Cheesy Troller
The Sleazy Troller
The Queasy Troller
The Uneasy Troller
The Seamy Troller
The Seedy Troller
The Greedy Troller
The Needy Troller
The VD Troller

That’s just a quick list to give you some ideas. It might not seem very imaginative at first glance, but I really feel like whatever we decide on, we need “Troller” in there. Otherwise, people won’t get how funny it is. And if you could hit that word really hard, Keith? Give “Troller” your most stentorian, voice-cracking, vein-popping best? That would be great.

Hope that helps. It’ll really ease my mind when you use one (or all!) of these on the air, so I’ll just say it in advance: For this relief, much thanks.
