Stop this reality, I want to get off.

Keith Olbermann scored an even sweeter exit package than previously reported. Sources connected with NBC tell us Keith is pocketing "well in excess" of $7 million.
Sources tell us ... Olbermann was due for two salary hikes during the last two years of his contract, which would have netted him just over $17 million. The exit deal, we're told, gives Keith much more than $7 million, though our sources would not be more specific.
And we're told ... Olbermann agreed as part of his exit deal not to do television, but our sources say he'll be benched for less than 4 1/2 months. Conan O'Brien had to sit out twice that amount of time.
And speaking of Conan, we're told attorney Patty Glaser, who negotiated Conan's exit from the same network, did the heavy lifting for Keith, along with his agent and manager. We're told negotiations for the exit went on for seven weeks.
Worth every cent.
Perhaps we should take up a collection to get "Tingles" off the air also?
And, as a good liberal, he’s going to give every red cent that he can to the federal gov’t, right?
Good riddance.
The little award was for announcing... the big one was for going away.
How much does he need to live on anyway?
Carbon guzzler!!
If those fools were stupid enough to promise this fool that much money, they don’t deserve to have it. That said, I wonder if Oberdork will move off to the sunset or just keep on trying to pollute peoples’ minds with his poison. I hope Obama taxes the shit out of him.
If he was a man of principle he’d have forced them to fire him for his views. But instead, he took whatever money he could get. I hope his liberal supporters realize they’ve been duped as bad as AZ got duped by McCain.
MSNBC has got to be the ass-backwards business of all time. Just hilarious. They keep their worst rated host (Mathews)and pay their best rated host to leave.
That’s awfully capitalist of them.
Why did he accept it?

RE: Why did he accept it?
Liberals are always capitalists when it comes to THEIR MONEY.
They’re Marxists when it comes to taking money from OTHERS.
I don’t care how much money he has. Being a person like that is a living hell.
The way it is with liberal hypocrits. You having money to use how you want is bad, but for them, it’s A-OK.
I have no problem with the idiot makind that much money. If the idiots at PMSNBC paid him that much, then so be it.
I hope Olbermann gets many millions from MSNBC, and I hope his agents and lawyers steal every penny of it from him.
