Displaying what was surely the most unflattering photo [shown here] of Ailes he could find,

Where's the pic?

MSNBC is so horrible these days, I can't watch at all. Olberidiot participates in hate speech that is blessed by his network bosses. They have gone off the deep end, into the gutter and below. I recall when they fired Savage for much less than the olberidiot and spitty get away with. Abrahms as the new manager isn't doing a very good job as he allows this kind of idiotic and hateful behavior. I used to watch partially for the laugh factor, but they are no longer laughable with the analysis, they are now simply hateful. And this article is a prime example.

You know, I may not know much, but I know sexy and I know sexless when I see them.
In fact, judging by my man, I can pick 'em pretty good. Olbermann is as near to sexless as any man I've ever seen in my well traveled life.

Ok, he's not fat, but he looks like poi tastes!

Ailes may be fat, but Olbermann is an idiot.

Ailes can always lose weight, but can Olbermann become intelligent?

Keith, making fat jokes about Roger Ailes is not going to make it easier for him to hire you away from oblivion over there as the follow up act to Donny Douche. This is a very strange courtship he is attempting.

I don't understand how MSLSD can sustain such horrible ratings with this guy, Matthews, Scarborough, and the rest of the losers and still stay afloat.
I guess they are just scraping by but it can't last forever. I look forward to seeing the whole current format disappear, it serves no useful purpose other than driving everyone to Fox for real news.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Olbermann should be doing Gonzo sports somewhere. What is it with MSNBC or Air America? Are these people on a Short Bus set aside for employment? Their networks can't be making money.

The pockets come from Microsoft.

The fact that MSNBC allows this juvenile behavior speaks volumes

[adorno]

but can Olbermann become intelligent?

Olberman might have some intelligence, but hes not going to use it as long as he can get away with his shtick.

Besides, he's having a lot of fun carrying out his personal vendetta and grudge against the people that fired him: FOX!

But, to MSNBC, Olberman is a magnet for an audience that's tuning in just to see what new insults he can hurl at FOX and O'Reilly and the rest. We at FR are part of the problem when we give him free publicity with our threads regarding his latest antics.

Love your work gov, always read it when I come across it, but in Olbermann's case I think ignoring him is best. He's a baiter, and wants us to be "outraged" at him. Please don't feed the troll.

Who was it that said, "you can't fix stupid"?

[hole_n_one]

Ok, he's not fat, but he looks like poi tastes!

There is a reason he always sits behind a desk. There was a short period of time that during his show, when he spewed his drivel, he was standing up without any barrier between the camera and HIS fat ass

He's absolutely huge from the waist down.

There is a reason you no longer see images of Rita Cosby (left) in this type of open atmosphere...........

[Shimmer128]

Really?? You mean he's fat AND he looks like poi tastes????

Oh man, just kill yourself now, Olbermann.

:D

I think they hired Savage because they thought he was so outrageous he could be used as a bad stereotype of conservatism and because they disliked him so much they wanted to be able to fire him. I have found myself watching Glenn Beck lately. He is more entertaining to me than anything on MSNBC which I just don't bother with anymore.
