:)

Happy, happy, joy, joy

[garbanzo]

Wow...I could barely sit through the 3 minutes that clip ran, it was so boring. How was this show on for 8 years?

[Admin Moderator]

And I think I’ll have a glass of brandy to celebrate this news.

[dynachrome]

Thank you!

[Stayfrosty]

I think the liberal establishment is starting to crumble...

[Celtic Cross]

Adios’, Keith.

[lonevoice]

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

[John W]

Enjoy!

[woofie]

Yep I kept thinking .....I will never watch Olberman again....then I remembered I never watched him in the first place

[Stepan12]

FOX will hire him.

Is this a joke? It may not be if Rupert Murdoch resigns.

If Murdoch resign, then his Israel hating, Media Matters loving son will take over and Sean Hannity will be out.

Maybe MTV will hire Olberdork as an emcee for "Skins" or sumping.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I’ll go out on a limb and predict he gets a Maher-type show on Showtime... and that it lasts roughly three months.

[skimask]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA First he gets tossed from Sunday Night Football now the final swift kick in his a@@.

COMCAST executives probably found it quite uncomfortable to have a late drive-time/early prime-time image dominated by a sneering fascist wannabee in a suit.

Doesn't mean they won't peddle the same garbage but Olbermann was quite clearly out of his nut and getting worse.

[MAexile]

if MSNBC has a sense of humor, they will run 3 Stooges shows for week in his place.

Might be hard to tell the difference...

[Red Steel]

Du’er crying in their milk.

[abigailsmybaby]

[bboop]

Yes, Comcast just took over. Bye bye Keithie.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It does not look good for the rest. Olbermann had the best ratings.
