He comes across as a jerk on TV. No idea if he's like that in person.

Too late. Half of sports fans hate him. He needs to find another obscure cable network show that needs a talking head. I hear that OWN recently had an opening.
Apple Jack
Footballguy
Half of sports fans and just about everybody at ESPN. He'd fit in with Rome at CBS Sports channel.

Soon to be doing play by play of #### fights from the lobby of a Tijuana brothel.

great post mat
He came across as a real ### on TV.

He's already announced that he's suing for the rest of his contract.

Actually, Countdown was still as good as it was on MSNBC, but Keith is high maintenance and Current was a low budget operation - their primary coverage looked like something out of a public access station (which is why he didn't want to participate) and lights kept burning out during his broadcasts causing him to abandon most of the studio lighting entirely. I really didn't expect him to last out the year there.

He actually has more viewers than that, but some of them were either chasing kids off their lawn or in the bathroom having a "good physic."

The funny thing about Olbermann is that he possesses one of the worst cases of self grandeur that I have ever witnessed and I think it really isn't an act. He really believes he is smarter, wittier, funnier etc than any other mortal man. His politics don't even matter - he is all about Keith and how dare anyone not realize his greatness. So classic his threats to sue. How dare they question his greatness. He needs to go away and stay there.

Bad person. He is an attack dog from the fringes of the far left, and is just about as bad as you can be.
For those comparing him to Bill O'Reilly, not even close. O'Reilly has guests on from all perspectives. He's a great opinion guy who isn't a bomb thrower the way Olbermann was, even though, if a tree falls in a forest does anyone hear it?

O'Reilly has more than triple the amount of 25-54 year-old viewers than any other cable news host; so I guess he has the youngest audience too.My linkNot swinging too much, as of 11/30/2010:Keep swinging.And the average age of his audience is 70.He does it by having a good show; HTH.Amazing!!!

He does have good taste in hookers.Spitzer's intelligence is so far over Olbermann's head that he doesn't even realize it.

It was kinda funny when he insisted that he graduated from Cornell, holding up his diploma and stating he went to an ivy League school, when he went to the State run agricultural extension, that accepts just about everyone.

The blowhard liberal mouthpiece was never going to work in the long run. It was a good idea from MSNBC, because as a marketer, you test everything, and there was evidence that blowardery and partisan hackery brought in numbers.
But in the long run, liberals don't want and don't need to be told what to think like conservatives do. It's the very nature of the two positions. Liberalism must be accepting, and tolerant of differing ideas, and flexible, or it isn't liberal in the first place. Conservatism must be on-message, consistent, old-fashioned, and incapable of change, or it isn't conservative. Only the latter works well with jabbering, monomaniacal mouthpieces who never stray off message.
It was a good run, but it was never going to hang around. MSNBC was able to cut bait, and they were probably glad for it. His new gig was just a latecomer to the party realizing late that the product was unviable. KO's a dinosaur.

Yes, too funny - and the late Dr. George Tiller might disagree that O'Reilly isn't a bomb thrower.http://www.salon.com/2009/05/31/tiller_2/

I never understood the Rights view and classification of him.....how could he have no viewers......yet still be the mouthpiece and one of the guiding voices of the Democratic Party?

He had quite a few viewers at one point. He just fell off the ledge.

Have you been to Wisconsin lately? It's been on display for over a year now on how the left is so accepting, flexible and tolerant.Anyways, I don't want to get into further details of how much you clearly don't know anything about conservatism other than what you read at HuffPo, so suffice to say that the bolded part above really got me laughing. I forwarded it on to my conservative friends it was so hilarious. You're going to be a superstar among them now.
I can't wait for your next golden nugget of hard analysis.
