Where the hell would this loser go? Air America? He has reached the pinnacle of his career and won’t be worth squat to any other network and the people who would have him have listening audiences of 10 people on a good day. Is he really that stupid?

Please quit Olbermann.

Meanwhile, Matthews’ MSNBC cable cohort Olbermann, who was also at the memorial, is “threatening to quit if he isn’t installed as Russert’s replacement,” another insider said. “I know, it sounds ludicrous, but, then, Keith Olbermann is ludicrous.”
Heh. That’s good stuff.

Let Olbermann and Matthews duke it out, and tear down NBC-PMSNBC in the process. Operation Media C H A O S
I don’t understand. I thought that Meet the Press included interviews with people on all sides of the political spectrum.
Olbermoron would no longer be allowed to patronizingly lecture and villify opponents who are not there to defend themselves. So why would he be demanding that position?
If gravitas is eight letters, they’re about seven letters short.”
The fact that they are good enough for cable is a sign of NBC’s lack of “gravitas” as a company. They are represented by these two guys and they are both hacks.
Gravitas? Well, one is rather grave and the other is an ass.

Interesting that Russert saw Chuck Todd as his successor. NBC could do a LOT worse than him. He’s not a big name now, but neither was Russert in 1992. From what I’ve seen of him he actually leans somewhat conservative.

Chrissy and Olberbite keeping it classy. Two steaming piles of crap.

The Ball Brothers, hanging around lusting for Tim’s job.

HA HA HA!
Go ahead, give him the job. The ratings for that show will fall like a rock.
This is win-win.

This might be only wishful thinking on my part but really don’t see how MSNBC can keep Olbermann there for much longer. Allah’s linked to people from Air America and a liberal columnist (I don’t remember the name) mocking him. That’s not a good sign when you got people on your team saying “Hey, you are too way over the top.”
Keith Olbermann went ape sh*t last night over the Page 6 article. It didn’t take long for Keith Olbermann to name Page 6, Ruper Murdoch and The Sun the Worst Person in the World for the rant he put on display for the Daily Kos losers. Keith Olbermann is the one who needs to shut the hell up!

Boy, Chris Matthews looks like crap without make-up.
Blake on June 20, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Olbermann quitting is a threat?
Promises, promises…

Oh please NBC, name Keith host of Meet the Press — the network’s two attempts at running “Countdown” on Sunday nights on the mother ship, including once the week before Olby’s Sunday Night in America debut, were dismal ratings failures, and it would be such a lovely piece of schenafruede to watch NBC’s Sunday morning ratings drop from first under Russert to fourth under Keith.

Threat? I hope it’s a promise.

Oh now THAT would be a good fit. Replace the fair guy with Mr. Worstpersonintheworld.
