Keith Olbermann did his last MSNBC teevee show! It was a big deal, probably! Was hefired? Were therecontract squabbles? How much of histhirty million dollarsdoes he get to keep? Will it be enough, for whatever? All across America tonight (in New York and Washington and Los Angeles, mostly), people who carry dumb electronic mobile media devices "for work" have been looking down as little pop-up things and beeps and alerts tell of the exciting news: Keith Olbermann will no longer do a teevee show he has done for a while now, for this one cable station.
I was shattered when I heard that (from Wikipedia, no less), too, about Mike Nelson, but I gotta say, I listen to Rifftrax and he really doesn't sound like a wingnut there. Frankly, I've detected some definite commie-talk. But maybe I'm just in denial. Just don't tell me Joel Hodgson is a Republican! That would really shatter my dreams.
Stop blaming Sarah Palin for this you lame stream media vultures. Hasn't she been through enough? (Sarah, seriously, call Shailey Tripp for the best massage in the business.)
From SP&#039;s FB page:<blockquote> When Keith Olbermann unfairly said I was the worst person in the world those many, many, many times. I didn&#039;t take that blood libel personally. You don&#039;t see a Mama Grizzly going with the flow because she&#039;s a dead fish. We have a trifecta in this country. .</blockquote>
It&#039;s been <strong>1</strong> days since Olbermann went off the air.
Dude, America is largely a subcortical nation. Present facts and make rational arguments and you may get half of the white college educated populace to listen. You don&#039;t bring frontal lobes to a limbic fight.
This&#039;ll probably be my last comment in what is becoming the <b>Wonkette Civil War</b>....
People on here keep saying &quot;We need him because he was one of us.&quot; No, we shouldn&#039;t be expected to support Olbermann just because he&#039;s liberal any more than a fan of hip hop should have to like Souljah Boy, or a fan of science fiction should have to like Stargate. I may be a fan of the genre, but that doesn&#039;t mean I have to like everything or everyone who is a part of that genre.
I used to watch Olbermann all the time, but got fed up as his show degenerated from an entertaining news show with a liberal bias to segment after segment of straw men, loaded questions, and name-calling.
When Olbermann first blew up at Bush in 2006 for turning a comment Kerry made about Bush into a comment about the troops, Bush had it coming. Olbermann&#039;s argument was honest, logical, and dead-on. But as time went on and the special comments got more frequent, suddenly everything Bush did, even perfectly ordinary things, became a scandal (remember the &quot;Bushed&quot; segment where every mistake W made got the suffix &quot;-gate&quot; attached to it). His commentary on Scott Brown in which he took everything Brown ever did, no matter how innocent or inconsequential, as an excuse to call Brown every liberal insult in the book on the eve of his election was finally a bridge too far for me. There were plenty of reasons to be against Scott Brown without resorting to that kind of exaggeration.
And the decline in his show should have been extremely obvious even to him when he&#039;s immediately followed every night by a vastly superior show. That doesn&#039;t mean I wanted him off the air, though. I just wanted his show to be better.

I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords. They have my phone, they have internet, they might as well take the TV while they&#039;re at it.
Mmm, hot political nerd with a fill-in-the-blank body! *fap-fap-fap*

How awful! I&#039;m crying like Boehner. This is not the America a grew up in.
I think there are a number of Wonkers now fantasizing about foamenting all over your 36-DD all-natural reticence.
Real PUMAs paw their fetid feces around the kitty litter box, and enjoy it.
Seriously, these PUMA anger junkies must have contracted a variant of the same H1N1 hostility virus that infected America&#039;s tea supply.

Feh. Poncho-wearing liberal buffoons.
I made it up as a parody of her egocentrism. But Shailey Tripp is a real person. Google &quot;todd palin prostitute&quot;

i just wish I had a job.
He needed to do stuff like that more often.
Olbermann: a Sarah Heath wannabe.
