They are now admitting it was a fake, but left it up. Why? I can understand posting this in place of the article - but leaving it up?

UPDATE: We’ve been punked, it would seem. Turns out right wing web site The Daily Caller purchased the domain name KeithOlbermann.com over the summer. Long time Olbermann nemesis Tucker Carlson crowed to Michael Calderone at Yahoo News that he planned to use the email address [e-mail] to sow confusion. We had it on good authority that this was all legit, but it would appear that is not the case. Our apologies.

I'm glad they're putting blame squarely on *ucker Carlson - where it belongs. Can KO sue *ucker now?

FWIW, KO tweeted it was a sham:

If you see a supposed email exchange between me and somebody named Bykofsky @PhillyDailyNews - complete fake. Email address shown not mine

1. OK... being rec'ced, but no comments?

6. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around someone actually doing this.

I've lost track of Phucker Carlson over the years, and while I always thought he was a talentless little shit, this is a James O'Keefe-level stunt. It's mind-boggling that he was given air time; depressing that such mediocrity is rewarded in this country.

If Keith O. has legal standing, I hope he sues the ever-loving shit out of him, and everyone involved.

Hmm...think I'm gonna go watch the video of Jon Stewart thrashing Phucker now, for old time's sake.

2. They changed, Now they say they're leaving it up

as a penance.

5. K & R.

Tucker Carlson? Where did he finally end up, anyway? I don't think I've thought about that twerp in years. Sad what these third-rate wannabe's and has-beens think they can do to try to cash in K0's notoriety.

7. Reported yesterday, but apparent;ly the outrage was slow.
