Olbermann To Matthews: 'I Miss You Already'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It's a love-in, man!

Looks like the grown-ups at NBC/MSNBC have taken the kids aside and told them to kiss and make up. After the embarrassing "tension convention" [to quote Imus] at the DNC amongst Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough, we've already seen the Countdown host plucked out of the GOP convention, under the convenient excuse that he would be anchoring—back in NYC and safely removed from St. Paul—the coverage of Hurricane Gustav.

When Olbermann and Matthews appeared on split-screen during the 7 PM EDT hour this evening, they were clearly on their best behavior. The dueling duo traded kind words, culminating in Olbermann's touching claim to "miss" his erstwhile antagonist. Chris got things off to a conciliatory start.

KEITH OLBERMANN: Joining us now from the site of the convention, Chris Matthews from St. Paul. Chris, good evening.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Good evening, partner.

View the video, here. Was that an amiable grin on Chris' lips, or the sardonic smile of someone who's been taken to the woodshed?

Think I’ll just step back and let people have fun with this ping to Today show list.

Too much tingling down too many legs for my comfort level.

PMSNBCs two “tingler” boys have their legs tingling tonight with abc and CNN coming up with one “gate” after another. Sarah sure as done a lot of stuff for someone who has never done anything.

The look on Matthew’s face is priceless.

The dour frown of complete failure.

I imagine the RNC got word to MSDNC that they would make all kinds of trouble for MSDNC with the FCC and FEC and that they would not have any access to our candidates if this crap didn't stop. It was really subversion of the election laws on media advertising for it to continue

I have noticed a significant change since the big blowup last week. The Leftists must have gotten their asses handed to them by the bosses

I have been told by someone currently under contract by NBC that Matthews is unlikely to survive his upcoming contract negotiations. We didn’t discuss Olbermann, but since he is the only one drawing any kind of ratings for this dysfunctional network, it looks like the future is Olbermann for MSNBC.

I'm thinking that they do not want Scarborough in the same room as “Queef” Olbermaniac lest Olbermaniac lose some teeth.

Both of them are just naturally mean people. Why not let them be themselves?

“Hey maybe they’ll move to SF and get married. I can see they’re in love.”

I’m reminded of Samuel Butler’s comment on Thomas Carlyle and his wife:

“Yes, it was very good of God to let Carlyle and Mrs. Carlyle marry one another and so make only two people miserable instead of four, besides being very amusing.”

I went to Office Depot today...They had a sale on DVDs...You know stuff that no one wants...2 for 1? In this discount bin was John McCain’s life story.. Faith of My Father....

I watched this and thought...My God, we do not know this man. We have no clue...yet we all need to learn from him.

Go to Office Deport tomorrow and buy the DVD... 9 dollars for two...Watch it and pass it on....

I’m sick to death at the small people still on this forum who continue to bad mouth McCain...I’ve come around... He’s a great American and we should be all proud that he is our candidate...

I have 60 days to promote this man...I’m tired of hearing the negatives from the bloggers here....You know who they are...

Let’s work to get our ticket elected...

Dollars to donuts both were on some "good," powerful meds to force them to make nice.
