The Democrats may have wrested back control of power in Congress, but that hasn't quieted the ire of Keith Olbermann.
Last week, he delivered one of his trademark blistering critiques of the country's leadership -- this time charging that President Bush failed to learn the lessons of Vietnam by perpetuating the "monumental lie that is our presence in Iraq." And don't think the victors of the midterm election are going to escape his sharp tongue.
"If the Democrats don't undo a lot of the things that have been done, like the Military Commissions Act and many of the other infringements on freedom, as I see it, there will be a special comment with their name on it," Olbermann vowed on a recent afternoon, wearing a crisp, striped shirt and suspenders, his large frame hunched over his desk at the cable news network's Secaucus headquarters....
But Olbermann's occasional soliloquies — typically a no-holds-barred excoriation of the Bush administration — have dramatically elevated his profile in the last several months, especially in the liberal blogosphere, and helped drive up the ratings for the third-place cable news network....

Ratings have shown that Olbermann's three or four viewers are excited about his tough talk!

Idiot Americans love this liberal clap-trap, it sounds soooo good, like yelling out a window, "I'm not taking it anymore!"
But produces nothing, ever.
Typical liberal.

Thought this was a threat to his string of one-night dates who "outed" him.

Keith Olbermann has gloves?
He is so evanescent and totally without substance, it is impossible to determine if there is enough protoplasm to even support the weight of gloves.
He is a phantom. In several different ways.

...drive up the ratings for the third-place cable news network... So what?
It isn't hard to drive up your ratings when most likely half of your new audience are people watching for the entertainment purposes only.
Like watching the monkeys in the zoo throw their crap at each other only is fun only for a while.
Keith is a baboon

****Hey,Keith...who won yesterday's Patriots-Bears game?***
Please, I'm still sick about it.
Almost two minutes left and that &%^$% Grossman tries for a home-run TD, the &^&%$%-head. Even if he connected that's way TOO much time left for NE to come back with a FG to tie, or worse.
