I love seeing this hack get busted by his employer. Fox takes a beating for leaning right, yet MSNBC gets a pass for its socialist agenda being passed off as "news"

It's not the pack of rabid homosexual hyenas I've been praying for, but it's a start.

Olbermann is a tool.

 

[M. Sage]

Olbermann is a tool.

He's worse than that. He's the tool.

I've been hoping something horrible would happen to him ever since that infamous segment with Garafolo. And I've been hoping for something horrible to happen to her since then, too. Ugh.

I too have been hoping for something bad to happen to the both of them. Maybe they could get together and have another ugly, foul-mouth, baby.

While you're all busy laughing at Keith consider this:

One Republican National Campaign Committee where Hannity was a key speaker at raised $7M. Why is it that a pundit on one network is suspended for this sort of action when a pundit on another network is not? I wouldn't call it an ethics violation per se because Olbermann and Hannity are both pundits rather than journalists, meaning that they aren't expected to remain neutral in their political leanings. Keith knew that his contract prevented him from doing this and he did it anyway. It is fortunate for Hannity, Beck, O'reily, etc that their contracts do not prevent this sort of action.

Bottom line: Keith Olbermann deserves his suspension.

Rachel Maddow had an interesting blog entry about the Olbermann suspension:

I don't watch her program, I followed a link from a user submitted news content website (Fark.com) to her blog enty. But it's a little ironic to hear you calling someone hateful.

It appears you answered your own question.

 

[texas skeeter]

I don't watch her program,

But it's a little ironic to hear you calling someone hateful.

A: Rachael Maddow? You expect me to read something from her?

... you're supposed to smoke E1s, not rock.

B: We're all laughing at Olbermann because he's an elitist prick who deserves to suffer far worse than he's received so far. He's one of the biggest assholes on TV and that's saying something.

This is why I hate (and I mean it in every sense of the word) both him and Garofolo: YouTube - Janeane Garofalo declares Tea Party attendees racist and Keith Olbermann agrees.

I hope they both die in a fire.

 

[texas skeeter]

I hope they both die in a fire.

Damn Sage, you've been reading my mind again!!

 

[Texan2]

I hope they both die in a fire.

That's hardcore!

Hannity spoke at a fundraiser. KO direcly donated money out of his pocket. Apples and oranges.

 

[texas skeeter]
