Keith Olbermann Gives Abrupt Goodbye To MSNBC Show
Controversial Host Says Friday's Show Is His Last
Keith Olbermann was MSNBC's most popular personality and single-handedly led its transformation to an outspoken, left-leaning cable news network in prime time. Despite that, he often seemed to be walking on a tightrope with his job. Friday night, it snapped...
I would say there are some folks in the room who know ALL about "snapping". It's a liberal thing that comes from being too long on the wrong side of an issue.
Olbermann returned from one last commercial break on "Countdown" to tell viewers it was his last broadcast, and read a James Thurber short story in a three-minute exit statement. Simultaneously, MSNBC e-mailed a statement that "MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract." The network thanked him and said, "we wish him well in his future endeavors."
Olbermann was nearly fired in November, but instead was suspended two days without pay for violating an NBC News policy by donating to three political campaigns, including the congressional campaign of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. He returned and apologized to his fans, but not the network.
Olbermann's peripatetic career landed him at MSNBC eight years ago - his second prime-time stint on the network - with a humorous show counting down the day's top stories. That changed on Aug. 30, 2006, when Olbermann aired the first of a series of densely-worded and blistering "special comments," this time expressing anger at then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's criticism of opponents to the war in Iraq.
More anti-Bush administration commentary followed. Olbermann dropped any pretense of journalistic objectivity, and he became a hero to liberals battered by the popularity of Fox News Channel and its conservative commentators. Olbermann openly feuded with Fox, often naming personalities like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck one of his "worst persons in the world" for some of their statements.
So the ultra-liberals may need to find a new hero. It appears Mr. Olbermann's meds just weren't working anymore and the heat forced him out of the kitchen. If you can't run with the big dogs, then stay on the porch. For the bleeding hearts, there will be a group hug at noon so you can morn the fall of a liberal icon. And such a drama queen. So sad, so sad.
Actually Olberman has done something similar with ESPN. Don't weep for him, IIRC, his MSNBC contract was quite generous. I wonder what he will go on to.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Actually, Ann has been keeping me warm on those cold winter nights. I never knew the meaning of the word "insatiable" until I met her. There is something about those mature, conservative tigresses and mama grizzlies that makes you feel happy to be a man. They just seem so comfortable with their femininity and sexuality. I wish more women could just be "women". :thumbsup:

WTF does Coulter have to do with this thread? Does she have a show? Oh, and you forgot to mention Palin
Now if it the other two morons, Maddow and Shultz would find their way into the washed up liberal dumpster, MSNBC might get smart and hire people that could actually get ratings.
