It's like the Twilight Zone, when he is going off on a rant.

No problem, it was a fluke that I posted first. I usually follow Dads of Marines, not lead them. :-)

Olbermann is like watching a high school kid on youtube rant about "whatever".

What's interesting is that while Olbermann screams and hollers all the Democrats have gone to the same school where they have been taught to "whisper" and "speak softly" when they are on TV. Obviously to come across as calm and intelligent and "smart". But they can't do that for two years or even for two weeks. At some point their true colors will come out and in 2008 they will get stomped.

Nope. He's going to look like a huge asswipe now that his liberal buddies are in power and he has to defend them.

Exactly, Olberman just monologues. He couldn't hack it in talk-radio. In talk-radio you have a dialogue with the listeners.

Olbermann is an idiot.
And lousy in bed as well, if a story in the New York Post 2 weeks from an ex-gf of his, is to be believed.
His ratings are so sucky, that the only way the creep can get any attention is to attack O'Reilly, who simply creams Olbermann kin ratings night after night.
Heck even O'Reilly's late night repeats still clobber Olbermann's prime time program in the ratings.

C.W. Nevius:

"Conservatives may hate his attacks, but no one doubts that he comes across as one of the smarter guys in the room."

WRONG! I doubt his sanity!

Olbermann is mentally ill. It has been well publicized that he has been under psychiatric care for some time. He had a Dan Rather-esque hissy-fit/walk-off moment at ESPN several years back. They fired him and MSNBC picked him up out the broadcasting scrap heap for a bargain basement price.

I should have said 'They fired him, SEVERAL YEARS OF UNEMPLOYMENT WENT BY, and MSNBC picked him up...'

That must be why Olberman is known as Mr. Prozac.

What do you expect this left wing loon Olbermann ratings to be in a year from now? I will say it will stay where it is now, 1/7 of O'Reilly ratings.
