Olbermann leaves Daily Kos By: Andy Barr June 17, 2010 01:33 PM EDT

Keith Olbermann announced Wednesday night that he will cease blogging for the liberal Daily Kos over a comment directed at the MSNBC host’s coverage.

Olbermann and some of his MSNBC colleagues surprised their left-leaning fans on Tuesday with eviscerating critiques of President Barack Obama’s Oval Office address on the oil spill spewing off the Gulf Coast.

“It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days,” Olbermann said of the president’s remarks, echoing similarly negative comments from fellow MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow.

One commenter on the Daily Kos, where Olbermann has frequently blogged over the years, speculated that the pattern of hosts generally sympathetic to the president bashing the administration was too consistent to be a coincidence.

“Can’t verify, of course,” the commenter began, “but a friend in the news biz tells me he got a damaging e-mail from one of his pals at NBC. Something to the effect that their anger was pre-planned because ‘beating up on the president has been good for ratings.’ I haven't checked, but I'm hearing that Olbermann slammed the speech on Twitter before it even started.”

I suppose this is what a liberal temper tantrum looks like.

It's funny that one of the KOokS would be suspicious that the bashing of this administration was too consistent to be a coincidence.

I'm sure this person is equally annoyed when every MSM outlet spews the same lib talking points on a nightly basis, practically word-for-word! /s

At this point Keith is just comic relief.

So, whose image is most improved by this separation?

Reminds me of a joke I heard many years ago:

Did you hear that 50 students transferred from (insert a college name here) to (insert a different college name here)? It raised the IQ at both schools.

I think Olbersissy’s hissy fit is due to his unspoken desire to show everybody that his skin is even thinner than Obamie’s.

In that case, it's time to start spamming the MSNBC comments board.

Even the brain-dead losers who watch Olbermann are finally figuring out he’s a ratings-whore fraud. Queef’s days are numbered.
