KEITH FACES SALARY SHOCK
December 19, 2006 --
KEITH Olbermann needs a king-size reality check. The obnoxious MSNBC gabber is trying to squeeze a whopping 400 percent raise out of his cash-strapped network. Broadcasting & Cable reports the liberal loudmouth - known for his unsatisfying one-night stand with a female fan who later blogged about his disappointing bedroom performance - wants to increase his annual $1 million salary to "north of $4 million." But insiders say hell will freeze over before he gets even half that much, considering that NBC Universal is making massive budget cuts to the tune of $750 million.
The popular Olbermann Watch Web site, which keeps tabs on the bombastic blabber, is also skeptical. "There's no way [he'll] get $4 million . . . but by asking for that, when the network counteroffers in the $1.5 million range, he'll take it and the network will think it won," said blogger Fred Bear. He continued, " 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' enjoys a minuscule audience of 469,000, compared to 2.1 million viewers for Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, and a big fat raise is even more doubtful." MSNBC and Olbermann had no comment.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
This clinches it. He's truly insane. But then again what does that say about folks who pay him $1M?
I hadn't heard about the blogger. Classic.
I guess that's why he hates global warming so much.
>>>But then again what does that say about folks who pay him $1M?<<<
They're just as nuts as he is, or more. He makes me want to change my name.
4 million? Is that 10,000 per viewer.
Give it to him!!! Maybe Scarborough and Carlson will be fired!!
No
WOW...whoever wrote this hates the big mouthed nut job almost as much as I do. I can't believe they actually worked this into the story! LOL!
Unless my math is off it comes to about $8.528 per viewer.
Jennifer Flowers wrote in her book that Bubba was hung like a hampster.
He should quit and get a job on Air America....
Make it 5 million and you've got a 400% raise. At 4 million it's only a 300% raise.
Tell ya what--I'll sit on the television and blather on like a retarded howler monkey for 30 minutes a night, and I'll do it for a lot cheaper too.
Quarter-mil too much to ask, ya think? Don't ask me about qualifications, because it's painfully obvious that if Olberman has any, he casually tosses them aside right about the time the cameraman points at him each evening.
