Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's top-rated anchor, on the verge of yet another professional meltdown?

May 19, 2008 -- IS Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's top-rated anchor, on the verge of yet another professional meltdown? His feuding with "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is nothing new. But now we're told notoriously odd Olbermann is lashing out at the rest of his network's talking heads. During West Virginia primary coverage the other night, Olbermann began pounding the table when lead White House reporter David Gregory didn't wrap his segment quickly enough to satisfy him. Olbermann recently encouraged management to oust the cable channel's lone conservative, Tucker Carlson, and it's also no secret among producers that Olbermann refuses to introduce Dan Abrams' show, which follows his own. Olbermann walked out of MSNBC years ago in a huff after also blowing up at ESPN, so TV insiders are curious if this recent behavior is a sign that history will repeat itself. MSNBC did not respond to our calls and e-mails seeking comment.

As a proud Doberman owner, I would say that lumping that noble breed in with the likes of SturmoberfuhrerOlberman is uncalled for in the extreme!

Overtliar needs a pink slip from management. Audience share for him is still about 1/3 O’Reily’s. While a ratings god by MSNBC pathetic standards, he still rates below just about every Fox and CNN show for audience

“MSNBC’s top-rated anchor”

Seems like an oxymoron to me.

I hope not; he is hilarious.

That kind of self-satisfied delusion doesn't come along every day.

Olberman is an ass. He was a lousy sports commentator on ESPN, and even worse on PMSNBC. He is a boil on the butt of mankind and needs to be lanced into oblivion.

Outing Olbermann presumes that MSNBC’s management possesses even a scintilla of moral or ethical values. That’s why he’s still there.

Keith Overbite is a disgusting pervert.

In addition to that, it’s all an act. He pretends to be the anti-O’Reilly.

Also his girlfriends say he is also low rated in the bedroom.
