Jumped on his own? Or was he pushed?

It had to be on his own, his conscienc I would imagine. Hell, at CNN he must've been applauded.....

There's so many to choose from. I think the source of all the worlds problems is that in 1990 (before the Gulf War mind you) George W. Bush personally injected Jose Conseco with steroids. (/tin foil hat)

Welcome to the new media... Fox News in the internet are taking down the American liberal propoganda machine one piece at a time. They don't know what hit them. The elites are finally be held accountable, to a certain extent. It's not just a one way street anymore folks.

Something about Olberman that makes my hair stand up. I bet he spends his off hours at home dressed as a woman.

I've always felt exactly the same way.

That's why I call him Keith OlberWOman.

Clearly he wasn't misquoted or he would have just clarified it and everyone would have moved on. Since he decided not to, I'd have to assume that what the bloggers reported was true and Eason Jordan is in the business of spreading unsubstantiated lies about the American military.

The US Military responds to the Eason Jordan resignation:

The message of the FReepers we are refining
We'd gotten Danny Rather and he's still whining
On all their propaganda, the light we're shining
And now even Eason Jordan has been resigning
And I tell you over and over and over again my friend
That the death cage match with FreeRepublic is coming
That the death cage match with FreeRepubic is coming

Love it!
