Keith Olbermann out at MSNBC

By Greg Sargent

So Keith Olbermann is out. As best as I can tell, none of the news accounts about his departure have gotten to the bottom of what happened here. But Olbermann himself offered enough clues in his final broadcast for us to reasonably speculate that he abruptly got the ax, perhaps even as late as last night.
A "knowledgeable official" at MSNBC told Howard Kurtz that the separation was "mutual." But it's hard to see how that squares with this, from Olbermann's last words on Countdown last night:
"I think the same fantasy has popped into the head of everybody in my business who has ever been told what I have been told, that this is going to be the last edition of your show. You go directly to the scene from the movie 'Network,' complete with the pajamas, and the raincoat, and you go off on an existential, otherworldly journey of profundity and vision...
"When I resigned from ESPN 13 and a half years ago, I was literally given 30 seconds to say goodbye at the very end of my last edition of "Sports Center." As God is my witness, in the commercial break just before the emotional moment, the producer got into my earpiece and he said, `uh, can you cut it down to 15 seconds, so we can get in this tennis result from Stuttgart? So I'm grateful that I have a little more time to sign off here."
Between this and the shell-shocked look Olbermann had last night, it seems clear that he may have been abruptly informed that he was history, perhaps even during last night's show. That would also square with the experience of Josh Marshall, who was actually on Olbermann last night and had no sense that anything was amiss.

Mediaite is reporting that MSNBC got rid of Olbermann for the same reason that proctologists retire: They got tired of dealing with assholes.

Since Kweef has nothing to do on Sunday I'd suggest having spleeks invite him over to his for the game...but that probably wouldn't be a good idea since they'd be wearing the same thing...

how embarrassing...

Maybe he will end up at faux news...they like to hire people that were fired or quit from their jobs!

It would show him as a typical hypocritical liberal.

I wouldn't laugh to soon, Jack.

Liberals are known for finding the biggest idiot around and rigging an election in order to put him in office.... :shock:

Not only would I love to see him run, but I would love to see him in office.
Could you imagine the Lefties trying to justify their ridiculous policies while using a complete douchenozzle as one of their poster boys?

MSNBC ratings rise without Olbermann.

In other news water is wet and ice is cold.

Of course, the news surrounding Mr. Olbermannâ€™s abrupt departure from the network last week may have fueled some curiosity about what the channelâ€™s hosts might say about him or the circumstances of his break with MSNBC.
