I'm not exactly sure what the wording of his infamous incoherent rant was, that fateful first day of his show, but what I posted was close.

I could not care less about olberman. If he dropped dead in the next 10 minutes, it would not affect my life.

 I've never killed a man, but I've read many an obituary with a great
 deal of satisfaction.

I found it...

Nope, Fat Al has a deck full of race cards, he’s safe.

MSNBC is stuck with....”This muck we mush and you can be sure we will munch much.”....everyday at 6PM FOREVER!


I think he meant AlGore, con-man and (part) owner of current tv...

No big thang, though - we all have days like this...

Sorry, I think I am correct.

Al Gore is at current TV, Al Sharpton is at MSNBC.

Reread the whole post.

Keith Olbermann comes across like the barfly who makes everybody else in the bar miserable, because he hates his own life and wants, after getting half a bottle, by shots, of the cheapest whiskey, to snarl at everyone and everything.

His job is as a deadwood employee of an indifferent company, with zero chance for advancement, raise or recognition. His wife is a drab who hates him, and they have a loveless marriage. One of their children is a homosexual prostitute and the other is a junkie. They both left home at 16, because it was worse than living on the street.

So he comes to the bar, because its liquor is cheapest, and everyone else there just gives a quiet groan and ignores him. After he gets drunk, then he starts ranting.

He is a bigot, who hates minorities. And a misogynist, who hates all women. And he hates capitalism, because he thinks he should be a billionaire, so he could hurt everyone he hates. And he hates government, because he wishes he could be powerful enough to hurt other people as well, as a dictator.

He never tips the barkeep and tries to swipe other people’s tips off the bar, and drink other people’s unfinished drinks when they go to the restroom. And when he really gets plastered, he picks a fight with the biggest guy in the bar, who thumps him. Again.

Having been thrown out of bar after bar, he is running out of places to get cheap liquor and be obnoxious, so now he is threatening to sue them for kicking him out.

I laugh at how many times the Left tries to recycle this misfits.

True, but you have the places wrong.

They move from the media to Democratic administrations and then back to the media.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama hires Olbermann to replace Reggie Love.

Someone mentioned it earlier. First Rosie now Keith.

My bet is these netwoks got narching orders from the WH to make the left seem more moderate and are using their two leftwing whack job standard bearers as sacrificial lambs.

I am thinking they tried that with Schultzie and his union ties but it was too expensive to buy him out and Obama didn’t have enough taxpayer cash to funnel to MSNBC.

Al Gore is at current TV, Al Sharpton is at MSNBC.

The confusion is understandable. There's something about the name "Al" - Al Gore, Al Sharpton, Al Jazeera, Al Qaeda,

Darn. I got all turned around thinkin’ USS Alaska was talking about the Al that owned current, not the Al MSNBC hired to replace the olberdork that current is now firing.

Not enough coffee and not a careful enough reading before posting so I got my fat, stupid Als all mixed up.

Sorry about that!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama hires Olbermann to replace Larry Sinclair.
