Like The Terminator...
..he'll be back.
He'll be Chief Washington Correspondant for The National Enquirer (yes, Enquiring minds want to know...I beat ya'll to it!)
I expect a run for public office in 2012 (If Al Franken did and won, so can he...so can anybody and that's the problem)
He'll wind up on ESPN, the WWE, TNA, or CZW.
Or he can do what I personally hope and pray for: just go away.

People actually watch his show ? or MSNBC ? sad to think that folks actually think MSNBC is a news disseminating entity.

Excellent news. I certainly hope he doesn't go to ESPN and broadcast sports. The media is democratic, so he'll have a job somewhere.

I have never seen him. I have heard and read some things that make me believe I do not want to see him. I guess I am lucky.

I would never seek him out, but once in a while while channel surfing, I'd stumble over it, and pause a moment to see what he was talking about. Invariably, within seconds something totally condescending, inflammatory, and usually about Bush would spew.
If I never see or hear him again it will be too soon.

Rachel Maddow must have had a bigger package so Keith got muscled out. He made his choice so I hope he won't be allowed to get back in sportscasting.
I'l miss him like I miss kidney stones.
Gee, here's a thought, Ya suppose ratings had any effect on that decision? Paid infomercials did better than Keith.I never watched the man, until the Tucson shooting. Then I turned over just to see his response. Totally predictable. You and I, the EEEVVIIILLL gun owners, are all collectively responsible.
I have a confession though. I actually enjoyed watching him do NFL games. He was pretty good at that, and could be humorous. That's probably where he'll end up again.
But as one of those hateful conservatives he loves to despise, let me get in one parting shot that will REALLY throw him. Here goes: "Keith, I wish you the absolute best in your future endeavors."
Liberals hate it when we do that. It proves we can be Ladies and Gentlemen, and that just can't be so.

Prediction,
Rachel will be next and Comcast (the new owners) will start having more conservative commentators as a profit making motive. CNN is also in trouble concerning viewer-ship, Larry King didn't go away because of age or 25 years on CNN, he had no audience, and the replacements are not doing well either. . A liberal media show has trouble keeping itself viable with viewers and advertising revenues. (look at Air America). Time will tell, and Keith may have burnt his bridges at ESPN years ago.

Keith was a moron of the first order.
A Johnny-One-Note and a One-Trick-Pony with only one mantra that people got sick of hearing. Maddow's next and Mr. Ed is on their heals. So sad. Bye Bye!

he used to be on ESPN a number of years ago along with Dan Patrick. I think the animal planet would be a good place for him as I do not watch that channel at all
"He's an idiot."
Keith Olbermann, may be many things not all of them positive, IMHO, but the man is not an idiot. Olbermann earned a degree from Cornell University, and was smart enough to earn over $11,000,000.00 a year. Now if earning that much money puts one into the idiot class were do I sign up for training?

I don't think he's an idiot--I think he's nuts.
His inability to control his fixation with Bush, Palin etc., his seething rage at "the right" and his need to denigrate the people who did not agree with him instead of taking them on with a discussion of ideas all point to a personality disorder of some type.
Anybody who spends as much time being as angry as he does has a problem.
Watching him was sort of like watching a child who feels he knows more than he does and is mad because people don't acknowledge that he's always right.

I wish I made $11,000,000 a year
Love him or hate give the man his due. His show was the number one show on MSNBC for years and while not many folks here watch, millions did. An idiot? Hardly, more one of the craftiest entertainers to come down the airwaves in years. Take your critical comments of him and substitute Glen Beck, Sean Hanity, Bill O'Riley or Rachel Maddow and you have equally valid statements. Olberman and the rest are all making millions by giving their followers just what they want to hear.
It would be sooo boring if we only had one perspective. MSNBC is no more an unbiased news organization than Fox. They are both in the entertainment business and will continue to play to their core audiences forever...and what's wrong with that? No one forces us to watch/listen to either, just change the channel, after all it's still a semi free country.
Removing tongue from cheek...for now. (o; Flame away.

Sorry, Steve - I submit that if "millions" were watching, PMSNBC wouldn't have sent him packing . . . .
