Talk about your post-partisan era: finally, something we can all agree on . . .
On tonight’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann described himself as an . . . “a-hole.” He made the admission in the context of describing the various shows in the MSNBC line-up on the occasion of announcing that Ed Schultz will be joining the network’s, um, stable.
KEITH OLBERMANN: Alright, you’ve got the conundrum all of us have as this thing gets more and more successful. A show’s got to look like a relative of all the other shows right before it and right after it. But not too much. I mean, Chris is the political inside-baseball guy. Rachel is the affable, charming policy wonk. I’m the a-hole. What are you going to be?

Olbermann admits the obvious ping to Today show list.
First time I have ever agreed with him!
Blind squirrel, broken clock, pigs flying, you name it.
Schultz is a bigger, cowardly moron than Olbermann. The last time I saw Schultzy (or didn’t see him) was when he got mad at a question and stormed off the set on “Fox and Friends.” When they showed his chair, he’d already headed out for the tall grass. The little boy can dish it out but he can’t take it. He’s a girlyman.

...a starter-kit here for the resident photoshop crew.
“Being an a**hole is something some men feel somewhat braggadocious about.”
Good point; hadn’t thought of that. In a way he’s saying: yeah, I’m the tough guy in the line-up. As if.
Schultz has the potential to be their biggest draw and cement the network into the #2 position.
No, he’s just another O-hole. Nothing special.
He will be on at 6 PM ET, taking over David Shuster’s time slot, who is moving to 3-5 PM to co-host with Tamron Hall. Definitely a demotion for Shuster.
Who would have ever thought that the straight shooters at MSNBC would have ever been interested in somebody like Schultz.
Dennis Prager invited Schultz to debate him; I forget why. Schultz said only if he could do it in Prager’s backyard, so Prager said that was fine. Then Schultz said he would go only if Prager covered the cost. Prager agreed. Then Schultz said he wouldn’t do it, and attempted to blame Prager as the reason, somehow. Coward? It’s all too obvious.
Ought to be interesting. Shultz always sounds drunk on the radio the way he slurs his words.
Let me tell you what this is:
Trying desperately to counterprogram Glenn Beck.
Ain’t gonna work. Underneath all of this is a tried and true liberal Obama supporter.
Best,
Chris
From what I heard, Keef resembles a thumbtack more than a pr*ck.
Schultz has the potential to be their biggest draw and cement the network into the #2 position.
