Yes, but don’t you see how much sense it all made to the Current TV progressives when they hired him. On the right network, headed by Algore, viewers would flock to hear Olby’s snide, spittle-laced, vicious, bitchy rants so they could affirm their own highly superior morality over us knuckledragging imbeciles.
The simple truth is, that besides Olby obviously being an incorrigible prima donna and an even bigger jerk in general, the average normal person just does not enjoy sneering, preachy, negative ranting day after day. By stark contrast, Rush Limbaugh is almost always sort of jovial, always pointing out the hilarity of just how ridiculous the left is. He doesn’t have to be nasty. His criticism is presented in the form of cogent, reasoned arguments, not personal malicious attacks. That’s why, in 24 years on the radio, he apologized exactly once with Ms. Fluke because it was a departure from his personal rule not to attack people on such a personal level.
Back to Olbermann: hopefully this is just one more stop on his way toward total obscurity, please G-d.
