For all of you out there who have legitimately posed the painfully obvious question as to the value to the posting of this article, the answer is while I don't give the newsworthy aspect of the article much more than a rodent's rear-end, there was a certain emotional satisfaction of posting a Keith Olbermann career eulogy a la Dan Rather.I simply could not resist.

Current TV does not come in on our Dish.

He must have gotten a better offer from the Obama Administration, and wanted out.

O sucks (double entendre)
Current isn’t so bad. I’ve seen a few really good documentaries. I also use their obvious propaganda to teach ny kids how to recognize it (see their doc on F&F).

And for as many times as this has been posted in the last couple of days, it still makes me smile.

Yes. Had I gone simply by visual cue (article in the front page news section) instead of doing it by article titl, I never would have posted it.

I’ve always felt a little pity for Keith Olbermann... I do not watch his show. Sadly, for Mr. Olbermann he CAN’T turn off Keith Olbermann... he must live with his miseable self each day... what a ghastly thought! I would be angry all the time too if I had to be Keith Olbermann!

Really? Only now? I thought everyone dismissed Keith Olberman years ago.

executives at Current declined to comment on the firing on Friday. But they immediately named as his replacement Eliot Spitzer, Un Roland pour Un Olivier

The sad part his, he's taking home lovely parting gifts. This zero has made millions of bucks.
I have to give him credit, I never thought I would see a sports announcer more odious and pompous than Howard Cosell. (Recall, Cosell once had a non-sports talk show on the ABC network called Speaking of Everything, a spin off from his show, Speaking of Sports.) Of course, Cosell showed what a truly classless ingrate he was when he published his memoir, I Never Played the Game. With Olberman, we didn't have to wait.

Plus, Olbie took his odious pomposity to the realm of news as well...even though nearly no one ever watched him.
Now maybe he’ll have time to date Ann Coulter.

I cant believe Al Gore didnt know what to expect from Olbermann. I just think he expected Keiths fanbase to migrate from MSNBC. While Al is all for wasting other people’s money, he wasnt prepared to waste another 40 million when he realized it was just money down the toilet. Capitalist Scum!!!!!!!!
To: FiddlePig
Right on Fiddler, but for the sake of common courtesy, lets not capitalize keith, olbermann, sharpton, jackson, calypso louie and company. Every one of these names are “poster boys” for Preparation H ointment.

Cosell had a show, Speaking of Everything, which was mostly political. And gawdawful.

The best thing Howard Cosell ever did was Monday Night Football, where his pomposity made him the unwitting foil for Dandy Don Meredith's homespun wit and wisdom.
