"Keith Olbermann Fired?!"
The Bloviating Hammerhead Blog ^ | 01/22/11 | Jim Bennett

Yes, it’s true. Now the 17 people who watch “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” will have to find another source for sputtering, unsubstantiated vitriol.

I’ve never been what you would call a “Keith Olbermann fan.” Does it show?

But cheer up, Olbermaniacs! You’ve still got Ol’ Thrill Leg for a full hour of guests not being permitted to finish their sentences...

Be sure to check out the video clip of the person chosen to fill Keith Olbermann's time slot. It's a hoot. Made my day!

“Glenn Beck correctly predicted Keith Olbermann’s firing two weeks ago. What else did he foresee in MSNBC’s future?”

I read the comments beneath one of the stories of his show being cancelled. Unreal - they honestly believe that he is balanced, gives true facts and apologizes if he gets anything wrong. If any of those people had children I would suggest CPS checking into their home since there is no way they are sane.

MSNBC has one purpose. That is to be a campaign contributor to the America hating left.

They don’t care if they make a profit, it’s all about harming our country by any means possible.

"Keith Olbermann Fired?!"

What, again? I first read about 6 threads ago that he was fired. How many times is MSNBC gonna fire his butt?

Was it a horse show? I thought it featured an angry hippopotamus that was always trying to bite people. Was it Harry the Hippo?

He made an interesting prediction: the liberals will say they will get rid of MSNBC if they get rid of Fox and everything will be equal. It will be interesting to see if this is what happens. Just a thought.

Ah, yes, progressism, that big bash party for liberal corporations that promises to bring in some much “glamorous” musicals of wealth and prosperity in f@ggism. MSNBC is certainly in love with Hitler and the left in that promotion of progressism above that of the mores of the so called “previous” (who are actualy repenters). Obama and hating America is so new age, you know, get a grip man (sarc off)

The 1st time around was to draw attention to the show and a publicity stunt. His ratings went nowhere as a result (duh) and now he’s gone.

Kind of frightening that a monkey flinging feces at a wall for a hour a night could rank so high after anything on the FOX News network.

Very troubling...

His FB fanpage has gone nuts, they are beside themselves. It’s really kind of sad, they imagine that the rest of the media has a conservative slant that only Keith saved them from. It’s surreal...

That’s hilarious when Olbermann says that now we know he doesn’t know anything about TV either.
