Keith Olbermann to Announce Post-MSNBC Plans Tuesday

I don't know what that is but I'll tune in! Keith Olbermann is one of the most intellectually stimulating and entertaining personalities today; I've been missing his insight and wit lately.

Olbermann has been fired from every media job he's ever had. He's alienated his co-workers, even those who most supported him, again and again. He has no respect for authority and those he's worked for. He has a long history of disrespecting women.

No one who knows him seems to have anything nice to say about him. Even Rachel Maddow, who owes everything to him, is very measured in her words about him.

And this doesn't even touch the continuous lying and distortion that he performed literally on a daily basis.

I always wonder how certain people develop a following. How could anyone have fallen for Hitler in the early days? Why would anyone get tricked by Charles Manson, or that loony "pastor" who shows up at soldier's funerals? But they do, somehow, someway.

I wonder the same thing about fans of Olbermann.

I don't watch Glenn Beck either but I don't think you would have a problem with me hoping he shuts up. There both the same, and do nothing to help educate this country on political issues of the day.

Speaking for myself, I don't want anyone to shut up or be forced to shut up.
We need more speech, not less.

This American Life?
More like sleazy Americans, or Ameicans have no values.
Are there any shows anymore that talk about how great this country and it's people are?
I get so sick of all the anti-American BS.

That type of show died with the cancellation of the Andy Griffith show.

I'm not hoping he is forced to shut up, I'm just using my free speech to say I think it would be best if he shuts the hell up.

You wish that we, ESPN fans, have to suffer again because of Keith isn't well received. Our revolt if this were to happen would make Egypt look like a tea party.
