Keith Olbermann, Sean Hannity Friendly At Yankees Game

If there's one thing that could bring Keith Olbermann and Sean Hannity together (apart from the occasional CNN-bashing), it's baseball.

Both cable news stars showed up for Game 6 of the World Series Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Olbermann wrote about the game on his MLBlog, where he said of Hannity, "And lastly, a reminder that baseball does erase boundaries. The guy I'm taking a photo of, who's taking a photo of me - we get along perfectly at the ballpark - less so during our day jobs."

Mediaite's Steve Krakauer notes that Hannity pre-taped his 9PM show, while Olbermann's "Countdown" aired live at 8PM with guest-host Lawrence O'Donnell.

Keith, don't forget to bring along a vat of hand sanitizer when you meet Hannity at Yankee Stadium.

If you're planning to shake hands with him, I'd take a bath in that stuff afterward.

It's a mad mad world. We get entertainment on what is supposed to be the news, and at the entertainment events we get news of these two being civil with one another!

This isn't the first time KO said he and Hannity get along. He mentioned that on Bill Maher, KO said they sat on a panel together and that Hannity doesn't believe all of what he says and how he (Hannity) sold his soul and beliefs for ratings and money. A media trend I hope will come to an end soon.

This further substaniates my belief that KO is an unhappy, bitter person. He cant even smile at the World Series?

A picture taken representing one moment of time substantiates your belief in something?

Yea...ok...and how is that working out for you in general?

Maybe a more apt explanation is that they had to be civil toward each other because they were in the public eye.

You're both lousy photographers. Poorly framed, sun flare, out of focus. Good thing you work on the other side of the camera.

This is a disappointment, Keith. Have you no principles?
