Has the Countdown to Olbermann’s Firing Begun? (PLEASE GOD LET IT BE!)

NBC insiders are starting to sweat Keith Olbermann. But not because of Olby’s politics. Thing is, Olbermann may have become a liability for NBC, literally:

Olbermann…went after former MSNBC general manager Dan Abrams Wednesday night, claiming Abrams had been fired and had a grudge against the network.

The tirade left NBC executives red-faced because Abrams, a lawyer, is still employed by NBC as a news analyst on legal issues.

If he’s not on tv I might forget I hate his azz.

[Gay State Conservative]

Geeze....Tim Russert,a RAT who at least had a shred of decency,drops dead of a heart attack and Olberpunk will live to be 100.

[reefdiver]

sure hope they don’t fire the lawyer, we need all of them we can get

[FLCowboy,]

Why? I think that he is a useful idiot. His delusional comments and rhetoric are so far out there that he causes anyone with more than two brain cells to embrace the right.

He is a useful idiot that's for sure. Anybody who associates with him becomes also a subject of ridicule. Leave him on TV so that his sound bites become the fodder for the Right. The only downside for firing Olbermann is the ascension of Chrissy Matthews to the lead jerk on MSNBC.

MSNBC needs to get rid of this jerk. I’m sure he will find a home with DU or the Kos Kooks.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

PMSNBC fire Unterwoman? No way. They are the gay network, aren’t they? That means they guarantee Keith and Rachel jobs for life...or until the network files for bankruptcy.

" . . . to embrace the right." Well maybe not embrace the right. But at least understand with intelligence. We need good, solid citizens who understand, not react emotionally. Emotional stupidity is the domain of the Democrats and Socialists.

[Popman]

Yes, he does need to go, but it needs to be on his terms.

Someone needs to leave a can of gasoline and some matches under his desk so he can go out with a real show when he finally goes over the edge.

He can set himself on fire right after he nominates himself as "worst person of the week"

[Belasarius]

Please don’t fire him!! I want to see a spider vs. scorpion fight between him and Abrams. I’d watch that on pay-per-view.

Totally agree. The only gamble here is the increasing number of "undocumented immigrants" and indigenous parasites who only possess one brain cell, plus native regenerating liberal spawn similarly equipped. But, call me optimistic that we'll be able to keep welfare state parasites from becoming a majority for the foreseeable future, and liberals in general will continue to abort their budding little amoebas and keep their native population from growing overly large. In the meantime, keep Oberfuehrer on the air to open the eyes of the remaining Americans with 2 or more brain cells that just haven't been paying attention!

“Oh, Lord, please hear our prayers! This blowhard has to GO!!”

No! We want him to stay! He’s doing great work for us.

[USS Alaska]

I hope they keep him and Maddow on the air spouting their ignorant poison

I'd like to see obermeister holding maddow's dildo as s/he performs on psmnbc.

Performs is to be defined by the reader's imagination and /or state of sanity.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

to embrace the right." Well maybe not embrace the right.

I was searching for a better way say it. So thanks for a better terminology. One thing that Obama has done for us, is to make those that have been asleep at the wheel realize that they were heading for a cliff.

[chris_bdba]

LOL I just love anything that makes liberals cry.

[Chode]

[greyfoxx39]

I’m sure he’ll find a job at CNN, ABC, or CBS. If worse comes to worse, he can go to PBS, though I am sure Moyer doesn’t want the competition.

I can just see the "Olbermann Hour" on PBS.....perfect!

[ozzymandus]

Supposedly, Olbie is not allowed on ESPN’s property. Apparently they had a reunion of former broadcasters, and Olbie was the only one not invited.
