"As the Spittle Flies" is nearing the end of its run.
This cable news soap opera -- a.k.a. "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" -- is alienating viewers as quickly as the angry and demanding diva has pushed away friends, family and colleagues over the course of his tumultuous career.
When will the show end? Hard to tell. But the increasingly wild-eyed Keith is drawing rubberneckers in the same fashion as a six-car crackup beside the interstate. One media columnist observes a "creeping mania" brought on by plunging ratings and terminal jealousy.

I really dont care if he goes or not, Quite simply I do not watch MSNBC, and will not as long as he and Rachel Maddow are it’s guiding lights.
I suppose some people verging on insanity do watch the two of them , and if that is the viewer that MSNBC wants then I will simply continue to flip through on my way to a real news outlet, and not the DNC suburb MSNBC is.
Don’t watch the POS or his station!!!!
Every once in a while it’s fun to take in a freak show. It’s sort of an orgasm in superiority.
It’s great fun to watch Olbermann’s on-air breakdown, but he hasn’t even bothered to show up for his own show lately. Luckily for the left-wing loons, keith is being subbed by the 2nd (maybe 3rd) craziest loon on MSNBC Larry (Creepy Liar) O’Donnel.
As far as giving him ratings, nobody will know if you’re watching, and Olbie’s best moments of insanity will be posted on plenty of other sites.
