Olbermann shown the door.. An Embarrassment, Even by MSNBC Standards

Well.

The network giving airtime to that liberal shill Rachel Maddow, has decided that Keith Olbermann is too much of an embarrassment, even for them.

Color me pleased, but not really surprised.

While the left side media is falling all over themselves blaming incendiary politics for the Tucson shootings, it was apparent that Olbermann was a match just waiting to start a fire.

And lord help them if some PETA/Greenpeace extremist decided to shoot Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck while wearing an Olbermann t-shirt.

So, the most vile political mouthpiece on the air, is on the air no more. Pity. No matter, I'm sure he'll show up in Obama's collection of former "neutral" media types now in the employ of his administration.

Ironic that MSNBC initially suspended Olbermann for donating money to Democratic candidates when it was 3 years ago that MSNBC ran a story criticizing the news media for being too obviously biased. As reported by MSNBC at that time:
Msnbc.com identified 143 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 16 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties.

Liberal bias in the media? I'm shocked and appalled.

Well, maybe not shocked.

So, perhaps the surprise isn't that Olbermann got axed, but that they put up with his act as long as they did.

Good-bye Keith, and "Good Riddance"...
"It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life."

Reports say he is getting 14 million to leave and stay off of tv for a period of time. How long before others are shown the door. Will they soften their tone. Would they be believed if they did.
Can't wait for Beck, Rush and O'Riley on Monday.
Boy, he really got those right wing talkers off the air. sarc
