I want to beat the smug fuck around the head and shoulders a lot harder than Stewart will allow himself to do.

it's just frustrating.

Indeed!

So I've been following Keith Olbermann since I started this thread.  Man, that dude's tweets are as ponderous, snarky, and self-attentive as you'd imagine.  Can't believe he used to be that funny guy on SportsCenter. 

Still, I prefer him to his enemies.

He's not a fool, just a bit full of himself.

I am still terrified by Skeletor.

Would that be Ghouliani or Fiorina?

Personally I've always been more terrified by the resemblance between Mike Chertoff and Sam the Eagle from "The Muppet Show"...

We would never have had a clue where Olbermann's sympathies lie if news of these scandalous donations had not come to light.

1) The network's policy sounds stupid.

2) If Olbermann knew about the policy, it sounds like he did something really stupid.  Actually, even if he didn't--he should have found out.

3) Why is everybody so stupid?

I'm not sure why any network should have the right to limit personal political donations made by any employee of a news show ... whether that employee is ostensibly "neutral" or not.

In the case of Olbermann, MSNBC is paying him to be a very opinionated and very biased loudmouth. That's pretty much his job description. So this suspension seems particularly absurd in his case.

And evidently Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan donated to Republicans without any punishment.  I'm not really an Olbermann fan, but the corporate media fucking sucks.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

NBC is free to have its dumb little policies.
