"He'll have to beat me in the primaries first!
Fat chance of that happening . . I was at the RNC this year, center stage.
I was the star of the friggin' show!
Where was Joe?
He was back in New York looking through ads for socks!"

Olbermann is brilliant, eloquent, verbose, and bold.

He's also petty at times. And childish.

Sorry. Keith was a left wing equivalent of Hannity. If he was so confident that his side was fact why did he only have an echo chamber for panelists? At least Maddow and Matthews will have the opposing view on to debate their points.

right-wing owned cable tv while it employs even more right-wing whoring hosts and mostly right-wing whoring guests promoting corporate, GOP, right-wing neocon talking points.

Yea, KO really stood a chance in that Fair and Balanced, fun filled environment. I think he was probably getting fed up with it anyway.

Joe could never be president. He wouldn't shut up long enough to let the judge read him the oath of office.

No worries, Keith!

that KO began his downfall, I think. Just the very beginning.

How ironic that Scabby ended up with a show of his own on the network. That must've got KO pretty ticked.

KO has been in the business longer than Joe.
He knew MSNBC was a corporation that would eventually screw him.
That's why Keith worked without a contract the first 2 or 3 years that he was on MSNBC.
