Olbermann was the key to MSNBC's primetime line-up. Everybody that has a show after 5pm on that network got their start guest-hosting Countdown, including Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, as well as David Shuster and Ed Schultz. They recently brought in Cenk Uyger from The Young Turks to guest-host his show.

Be interesting to see how this shakes out.


The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

And it's not secret that most journalists freely contribute and endorse to the DNC, so this story that Olbermann was sacked for this silliness is just a smoke screen.

Think Progress points out, however, that it does not appear this NBC policy has ever previously been applied to MSNBC hosts.

This is the first time in world history a "journalist" was fired for political contributions.

So he was fired because Republicons won, and MSNBC now wants to cater to them by sucking their dicks.

I wonder whet liberal will be the next to get axed? My guess is Ed Schultz, he's half nutz, wants to have sex with Barry, and has a nasty temper.

Personally, I would have fired him for being such a complete big-headed idiot soaked in ego, and no, I don't believe the political contributions have necessarily anything to do with it. Maybe last straw or something. Between his ratings, those damned Friday What's-his-name readings, none of which I ever saw...well, I saw little of Olbermann for a long time anyway. Anyone wonder if it has anything to do with that last hideous rant he did on some right-winger recently? It was pretty ugly and he deserved to be FIRED for that!

I hope they find someone decent to replace him...ANYONE from the Young Turks makes me leery, but I don't know the guy. I usually don't start watching until Maddow anyway, and she's followed immediately by Jon Stewart/Colbert on Comedy Central, so that's my dose of politics for the day now.

Keith Olberman in less than one minute:

My all-time FAVORITE is the SNL skit with Ben Affleck doing Olbermann impersonation. I can't find the damned thing, and I wanted Jim to see it. Can anyone else find it?

Please, you bi-sexual old hag, you've been sucking Olbermann's cock for years....And when not sucking his cock you were sucking Maddow's cock....I laugh at you. What a bad month this is for you.....lol. Get back on the couch and take your temp., put on MSNBC, and cry along with the rest of the tards....ROFL

That you get your dose of politics from a gay libtard and a comedian is....Priceless.

Olberman has also been the one to show other people's criticism of himself on his show, and to even admit to going too far in some instances. When Stewart lampooned him, it was pretty scathing, but there was also praise in there for Olberman's work as a man of integrity, who had lost his way some in the polarized culture of them versus us. NOt that you give a shit how Stewart feels about him...

I roar with laughter when I see Niki and Kwiki trying to separate themselves from one their great leaders and proponents of liberal insanity, Keith Olbermann. That's more than hysterical, because those two have taken his hard left ideology, along with the dishonesty and hate that goes with it, and regurgitated it in the RWED every day of their lives.

I'm asking because I've seen you post reasonable things on occasion, and I am encouraged that I can typically expect something other than talking points from you. Still, thse days, I see you frequently posting generalized, non-specific diatribes about how bad the left is.

Given the things I've seen you post in the past, and given the subject of this thread, I thought I might actually get a thought-out response from you on this.

Yes, I am absolutely dubious that you can come up with a name on the right that is solid, or even close, and yes, I indicated that outright. It doesn't mean I'm not genuinely interested. I'm going to assume your response is not in any way shape or form an indication that you yourself find the pundits you favor hard to stand by.

And you know, I'm not sure what level of polite I'm supposed to be. You characterize liberals, all of them, pretty harshly, and I happen to be one. I would think you could take a little condescension, being that you're so willing to dish out what you do.

A strange thing happens to Jongsie/RiverLove around election cycles - he goes from occasionally reasonable to full-on batshit crazy partisan. The election's over now, but he seems to still be stuck on nuts. Which is oddly appropriate, being that he's a tea-bagger.

"Most expensive election in history" rang my "damn we WASTE so much" bell and got me thinking.

If you're gonna spend THAT MUCH MONEY politically, why *not* do something bloody useful, helpful, with it ?

Feed the poor, build some houses, help some people, you know ?

For all the money they spend on political bombardment, which just irritates people to no end, they could generate good will and word of mouth by this, and cheaper, to boot!

I mean, you help someone out, you stand at least some chance of gaining their support, or at least some "cred" with them - I barely even *KNOW* Ben Cardin, for example, but his staff helped force a hearing on an important legal matter for me, and I pay my debts.

And yes, I bloody well KNOW it's all bread and circuses, but hey, don't forget the BREAD - you can't eat junkmail (although that'd be a damn fine idea, make it edible, wouldn't it ?) and a phone call won't buy you a cup of coffee, so that effort is in most cases completely wasted.

Which is STUPID, and this is why the Powers That Be are eventually gonna lose, cause when it comes to cases they're so mentally disconnected from the rest of us that they might as well be aliens.
