Gut feelings. After he was demonized by the right, and kicked to the curb by MSNBC, is it any wonder? He'll be back.

so msnbc fired him because conservatives "demonized" him....hilarious...it is always the right's fault...olbermann certainly has no responsibility, it is those evil righties...
how come rush is still on the air when he "demonized" far more by the left?

Ask your cohorts...they seem to know everything. Don't ask me dumb questions, or the conversation will be cut short.

so you can't actually discuss anything...and asking about YOUR claim is dumb...that says a lot about YOUR statement.
thanks for that

It wasn't your real intention to "discuss" anything. You interjected "hyperbole", where there was none.
Then you turn around and ask me a question I'm ill-informed to answer : "how come rush is still on the air when he "demonized" far more by the left?"
If there was any hope that you had "reformed" and changed your ways, it is now gone. I'm done engaging you.

1. you made a claim that conservatives ran olbermann off the air by "demonizing" him.
2. i think ask how is that possible and give you an example of another talking head who is lambasted by the other "side" and he is still on the air.
3. the question is only "dumb" to you because if you actually answered it, your claim would show itself to be complete shit.
4. what hyperbole did i inject?
5. you always run away when someone counters your point. you're not interested in truth.

why olbermann was fired:
Current's statement, signed by co-founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt, was unusually personal. Without even a trace of the forced "we wish him well" bits usually found in such things, the two men laid into Olbermann, saying he had violated Current's "values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers."

Keith Olbermann is a man with excellent values and a brilliant mind. But he does not accept anything less than excellence from himself, his peers or his employer.
The Greek definition of happiness is full use of ones powers along the lines of excellence.

This is utter nonsense. People get fired on TV for ratings. Plain and simple. He didn't get the viewers, he lost his job.

Olbermann ranked as the highest-rated program on Current. You are wrong.

Thank you...he's the reason Current TV, was getting any "play" at all. What will they do now? Eliot Spitzer???? Are you kidding? He couldn't keep his show on CNN.
Past performance is not indicative of current reality. People stopped watching.

This is not about the past Damo. Olbermann ranked as the highest-rated program on Current.

that is because he didn't toe the party line....right?
Rush Limbaugh on Monday reveled in the news that Keith Olbermann was fired from Current TV last week, calling the TV personality an “insane lunatic leftist.”
“The month of March in the United States opened with the left convinced that they were finally going to drive me off the air once and for all. By the end of the month I’m still on the air with a higher audience,” Limbaugh said on his afternoon program. “In that month Al Gore [has] fired Keith Olbermann, thrown him off the air and replaced him with ‘Client No. 9.’”
The mention of “Client No. 9” was a reference to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, whose new show, “Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer,” kicked off last Friday to replace “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.” Spitzer, who briefly co-hosted “Parker Spitzer” on CNN with columnist Kathleen Parker, saw his political career come to an abrupt end in 2008 when he was linked to a prostitution ring and famously identified as “Client 9.”
Limbaugh, who recently came under fire after he called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” on the air, said on his show Monday, “If Olbermann were anything other than an insane lunatic leftist — which is a resume enhancement — he wouldn’t get hired.”

Olbermann is a douche bag. The fact that his ego and Gore's could not co-exist is not at all shocking.
