(((Chaos at MSNBC)))
While the Olympics continue in Vancouver, we’re hearing that things continue to fall apart at “The Place for Politics.” Despite having Olympic lead-ins to their prime-time line-up, ratings continue to be abysmal. Keith the Stalker has not been able to get out of his ratings slump for almost a year, and his bizarre personal behavior has begun to worry some NBC execs. Nobody knows when or if he will actually even show up to host his own show for one thing.

On another note, we noticed that some of the more obscure Olympic events were actually playing better on MSNBC than it’s actual programming. On Wednesday, curling, yes curling, bled over into Keith’s hour. When he finally go on the air, viewers fled.
We presume that new tagline will be - MSNBC: “The Place for Curling!”
I love curling.
Given a choice between curling and politics, I’ll pick the curlers every time.
Can’t they get the Cornell Ag School to pull 0verbite’s sheepskin?
LOL too true- the only reason I know anything about curling is that the curling matches were broadcast every Saturday immediately before the cartoons :-)
I could envision Olbermann snapping and going on a shooting rampage if he were ever fired. What a shock-treatment to his ego that would be.
Same here... Curling is fantastic.. Wish I had a rink/sheet near by to play, i’d definently be there learning. Closest is over an hour away.

Keith’s head would make a good target for one of those curling stones.
Olberman, a deeply stupid man, recounts a very sad medical episode with his dying dad, and actually did a pretty good job of relating his experience. But then he concludes with a rant about death panels that makes no sense. He insists that one payer health care would be good for his situation (a dad asking for death). He is his father’s health proxy and WAY too emotionally involved to reliably comment on Obama Care. He insists that those of us who resist One Payer Obama Care are somehow killing his father, or replacing his wishes to kill his father, or some insane thing. He’s ranting and making counter arguments and seemes unhinged.
I’d feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such a hateful bastard.
I also like how the networks split away from Barry’s health care skit to cover womens’ hockey.
