In what was probably an attempt to gin up ratings for his ESPN show, Kieth Olbermann used his Twitter account to insult Penn State students and earned a suspension for it.
@lisaadeleon …Pitiful

.@dave_seidel No, Son. I said PSU students were pitiful. Had nothing to do with fundraising #AlsoPSUReadingComprehensionAppearsToBeWeak

@codykon inability? It's a choice. You're Penn State. End of discussion.

The morons always blow themselves up. Read aloud: RT @jamescags coming from the guy that went Cornell agriculture school

Nothing. RT @kboydhello Wonder what @KeithOlbermann thinks of @penn_state after this weekend.

More PSU. You can't be "still hired," Goober RT @arjunarun1 Why is @KeithOlbermann still hired by ESPN? Shameful.

@EricOwensFS Don't make shit up, Sonny. You'll wind up running Penn State.

"You are" or "you're" RT @psurn92 @KeithOlbermann you a pitiful human being. PSU students raised 13 mill for kids with cancer.

I'd like to thank the students and alums of Penn State for proving my point about the mediocrity of their education and ethics.

.@dave_seidel Again – get your $ back – you didn't learn how to read. PSU students are pitiful because they're PSU students – period.
— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) February 23, 2015
.@dave_seidel Did you learn that at Penn State too? Fired once in 35 years. Sorry to interrupt your stupidity – carry on.

They forced the petulant child to apologize:
I apologize for the PSU tweets. I was stupid and childish and way less mature than the students there who did such a great fundraising job.

Frankly I’m surprised it took him this long to blow up. Let’s hope he doesn’t wait this long to entertain us again with his arrogant idiocy.
