I heard this interview and thought at the time that this guy’s (O'Donnell) hate had taken him over the edge. I pay no attention to what he says now and am thankful that MSNBC is moving him to the Oblbermann time slot. He will make the ratings worse for that hour if that is possible.

I personally know 2 people who watch Olbermann, and you can't reason with them. I'm sure they love O'Donnell too.

Conservatives who have never watched Olbermann or O'Donnell have no idea of the hatred on the Left.

Reminds me of the recent ad on See B.S. where they make the claim that they are the MOST watched network on TELEVISION!
(So please watch our pathetic, failing series, and don’t forget 60 Minutes!)

My Ragdoll is sitting in my lap right now. He’s sooo sweet. His partner in crime is a little female Calico. She’s tiny and he’s huge. What a combination! The Calico is the little spitfire and usually wins any battles because of the Ragdoll’s sweet nature. They are so much fun!

Ed is even more vile than Keef to me. He seems like a mob thug. I think ‘Lockup Raw’ probably outdraws Ed.

I believe that the real reason that Olberman was kicked off of MSNBC is because Obama plans to use Comcast to regulate FOX. They can’t very well demand that FOX ditch Glenn Beck, while their own station runs Keith Olberman. Wait, just wait.

That is what I think, too. They are going to claim that MSNBC got rid of Keith in the name of civility and they are going to demand Beck be shut up. Beck is going after the Marxist underbelly and exposing the truth about political biggies the media don’t want exposed.

They don’t mind lip flapping commentary from Sean and O’Rielly on the latest nothingness. Beck is the problem for them because he’s turning up hidden information on the elite - he’s actually reporting new information like a real reporter used to do!

I guess Maddow was so immensely popular, that Olbermann couldn’t lick her at MSNBC. So he was sent packing.

Olbermann licking Maddow? Please spare me the vision!

So are you saying you still read after the phrase “iconic Countdown?”

Just a personal aside...I think it’s time to retire the word, ICONIC.

• Rachel Maddow won the nightly three-show race for 1st in the A25-54 demographic on Monday, as the top MSNBC prime time program. She had 253,000 viewers, Lawrence O’Donnell was #2 with 224,000 and Keith Olbermann had 218,000.

I think the move of O’Donnell is temporary. A few weeks ago he was whining on Morning Joe that he was cancelled before he began. Unless there was a recent change of heart, I doubt he is what Comcast is looking to keep as they just fired his clone. Frankly why Matthews is still there is a head scratcher.
