(CNN) - Keith Olbermann will be hosting a primetime show on Current TV – the network backed in part by Al Gore, the former MSNBC host announced Tuesday.
Olbermann abruptly departed MSNBC two weeks ago. He will begin his show "later in 2011," according to a statement from Current TV.

I don't know what YOU are laughing about, I'd love to see a comparison of your and Keith's bank accounts.

Do you really not understand how your comparisons make no sense at all? LOL!

He doesn't actually.

But hey, Keith gets to play to Islamabad's audience with his schtick. I can hear it now:

"You efendi, are a son of a camel! You efendi have no honor and lice infect your daughters nether regions! You are not worth a puff on a rusted hooka efendi!"
Then he throws his shoe at the camera for effect.

"In short in Achmed we have an irresponsible homophobic racist reactionary ex-nude-model tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against Imams with whom he disagrees. In any other time in Islamabad history this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and disaster in the making by the most conservative of Muslims. Instead the great nation of Pakistan is close to sending this bad joke to the National assembly."
 
Why is this an issue? HOW THE HELL is this a partisan debate? Since when does it matter at all to any kind of politics that a newscaster is changing jobs? This is the saddest most pathetic thing about partisans and its what I hate about politics the most, because eventually it doesn't actually become about the issues it just becomes about finding an excuse to mentally masturbate all over a keyboard. And in a boarder sense it clearly shows there's hardly much more to "politics" among most people other than feeding their ego by "proving" someone wrong in a debate, or finding a "hole" in their argument and thus in your mind destroying it. Nothing feels better than getting that stimuli that you're smarter or better than someone, and the rest can be rationalized away because actually acknowledging or discovering you don't know as much as you think you do destroys the fantasy.
