Good news. Spitzer is really good.
Looks like Keith mea culpa's and is negotiating severance pay. He was past due. Burned out. You can only scream at those in the bubble for so long before you give up. I'm getting there... ;)

He has a history of burning bridges though. ESPN? Early on at his stint on Countdown he was a good counter to Fox News and their airheads. I watched for a while until he became alot like those airheads. I quit watching him about a year before MSNBC let him go.
He tries too hard to be like Murrow, and his ego is pretty inflated. He shouldn't have to work the rest of his life with the deals he's negotiated from former employers.
Spitzer isn't bad. I've taken to watching Ed Schultz here a little, but have all but sworn off pundit TV. The extremes do us no good, on either side.

The funny thing is that Lawrence O'Donnell is much louder and much more obnoxious than Olbermann ever managed when he was on MSNBC.

OK but no complaints about Rush L. will be accepted.

I don't watch or listen to Rush. It's just universally known he's a tool.

As are his equivalents on the left. FWIW, I don't listen to Rush either.

And as I've stated before, I've pretty much given up on all the pundits. I've taken to watching Erin Burnett on CNN to some extent also. Easier to look at.

The sound bites I've heard from Schultz are as bad or worse than Rush. I wouldn't admit to listening to either.

Well, don't do that.
Edit:

Nope, it stems from Gweeds obsession over liberal pundits that actually challenge the right's domination of that niche on Fox.
He also has a thing for Rachel Maddow.

Who?
cuz I also once had a thing for Maddow...until I realized it was because she looked EXACTLY like some other lesbian that I had already had wild, lesbian-prohibitive sex with.
:idk:
Is it cool that my wife has a crush on her?
Is it cool to talk about things that would rule me out as a GOP condidate on a thread started by the guy with the racist handle?
So much for the 99%ers in Queef's life...
QuoteOn the heels of Countdown host Keith Olbermann's firing from Current TV, the network and sources close to it have been quick to buttress their case for the dismissal with details of the temperamental star's antics. One such source tells Mediaite, among other things, that Olbermann went through 8 different car services (he doesn't drive), and complained to the network that some of the drivers "smelled," and "talked to him," the latter detail echoing a leak that once dogged then-Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Rush has no equivalents on the left.... AM radio media bias ruined KRMG....
No equivalencies. Lefties tell the truth. 8)
Here's something you NEVER hear or see from righties...admission of mistakes in judgement.
It takes a good person with integrity to get to this point.
KO passed his prime. Return to sports...
Sounds as if he was calling in drunk lately, TTC. Queef has some serious ego issues...

From "Mr. Integrity":
QuoteFor instance, after a problem with an unspecified employee during an appearance by Michael Moore on his show, Olbermann wrote Joel Hyatt, Al Gore's cofounder at Current: "Give me a name so I know which of them to kill with my bare hands."
After learning that a photo of the Countdown set had been given to the press, Olbermann wrote Hyatt about the leaker: "Can you assassinate him please?"

Surprised he hasn't sucked on a shotgun barrel yet. Oh yeah, that's right, he hates guns.

You haven't noticed that before? Why do you think for the last several years they have used a camera angle to film him thats slightly above looking down so he is looking up to hide the double chin? Actually, that could be judge Glassco from when he was still an attorney. ;)
