What, was he getting bored with his war with Bill O’Reilly?
Uberboy lost his war with O’Reilly, claimed he would no longer refer to O’Reilly, and then started bashing him again, accusing O’reilly of killing the abortionist Tiller.
O’Reilly never took the bait, but crushed Olbermann by exposing the lying bias of NBC and the criminality of GE, so Olbermann had to switch targets in his desperate search for attention.
I wouldn’t be surprised fo find that Olbermann had been ordered to switch from O’Reilly to Beck by his owners.
