What does the future hold for Keith Olbermann?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Is he going to continue doing what he is doing now?

I was thinking today about Keith as a "Rush Limbaugh" type of figure for people disaffected with the Republican dominated media and political scene to rally around, but it's not a good analogy because Keith is intelligent, articulate, and telegenic. Unlike any of the current right wing media asshats.

Someone who is as good with words as Keith potentially has a great book or three in him.

He could run for office.

A lot of possibilities, really.

8. Only If Those Bush Awarded Are Rescinded

3. Keith is right where we need him..the voice of truth..

Keith is powerful when he tells it as only he can!

with power and truth , and no fear..and humor..

He is the almost only voice truth has left in this nation!

11. I kind of dissagree with that - there are lots of voices speaking

truth. The problem is getting airtime.

4. I just hope he stays on the tube keeping us informed

as with an informed populace we wouldn't be where we are today.

5. Well, I hope he stays where he is for now. He's much-needed

on MSNBC, we just don't have enough Dems to hear on TV. He can still do this and write a couple of books.

[tridim]

6. He should stay put until Bush is gone

After that, the sky's the limit. I'd wager he'll get lots of interest from the networks, which would probably make him feel really dirty. I hope he tells them to shove it.

7. A Pulitzer, or the Equivalent, At Least

and tenure at an Ivy League school, if he wants it.

9. a prison cell at gitmo......

...if the dems don't win back the congress and senate in november.

i assume the slow push to facism will continue and eventually, "enemies" of the state will be incarcerated.

[razors edge]

10. Thats what I was thinking.

[Toots]

12. I think it is nice to see truth being told in a straight forward manner

I look forward to him having a long and fruitful career. He is ,in many ways, a hero you know...
