— DrewM Above the Post Update:
Like Felix Unger, he was asked to leave and never return.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Thanks to DaveInTexas for the video.
Turns out there was a bit more to the farewell address.
Original Post:
Or fired or something.
“MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC’s success and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”
Buh--bye.
The great Ace of Spades HQ-Keith Olbermann throw-down. First me, then Jack, then Dave, then Ace. We just beat him like a drum. Thanks Keith for all the new Twitter followers I got that that. Good times, good times.
Didn't the Comcast takeover of NBC just get approved? Did he jump before he was pushed? Or was he pushed?

There's yet another Ulsterman article with Teh DC Insider talking about the Tuscon speech. This is the same guy who was saying Obama is suffering from deression, etc.
There have been about 5 articles now. Unsourced as they were, it may be time to go over them and check against what is known now to see how they've measured up. There are some great hints on areas to look into [Chicago] and how to do so, and who to press [Issa] regardless.

this reminds me of a doc i caught on tv on the youngest candidates to run for election in the 08 cycle, they all showed their youthful ignorance of money by running on adding money to the budgets of the unions and other groups and that somehow would fix everything; they praised Obama and talked about their heroes like Huey Long, it made me want to sit down w/ them and show them w/ a blackboard that this money doesn't come out of nowhere
I also found it amusing that every time they heard about an opponent's attck on them they started whinning to the camera how unfair it was

Jeff B. - I second the motion.
I loved the all haiku threads and hopefully they'll allow some free form haiku as well.
As for Keith - maybe he could get a gig with one of those dog shows - Westchester? He could do a "Worst Dog In The World" segment. ???

I think the basic problem was the guy's contract was a little bit too plush. $14m/yr if I remember correctly, which was pretty generous even when his numbers were at their peak. My guess is MSNBC tried to get him to take something more in line with his ratings and he had one of his mental breakdowns.

Nothing sinister about it: Comcast is about ratings, not ideology. They wouldn't give a shit if Olbermann was Left, Right or Center, if he put asses in the seats. Shit, he could sit there and recite haiku for an hour if he got ratings. Olbermann's salary is not commensurate with his numbers.

He won't get the entire amount of whats left on his contract because he has to move on somewhere. He needs the spotlight, so he will sit for 3-6 months. If NBC-U wanted to, they could hold him to his contract for the remainder and have him sweep the studio every night.
I'm thinking he ends up on Free Speech TV. It is a crappy little channel that doesn't seem to be on too many cable systems but Directv and Dish have it. It features such great programming as: Democracy Now, Every Church a Peace Church, Gay USA, and the Thom Hartman Show. Pretty far left, they could probably make Keef their token "conservative" there.

Posted by: curious
Comcast wasn't in on the meeting, they just told NBC-U that they would not assume those contracts, so it was up to GE to do the deed. When I was in radio, we did this when our company bought another radio station, but you waited until FCC approval and right before closing because you didn't want the "talent" to leave until the last second. NBC-U didn't want to lose Oberdouche until the deal was finalized and Comcast was approved. If they shitcanned him earlier and Comcast walked or didn't get approval, nBC-U would be forked.
As for which contracts that Comcast will assume, yes they already know. The contracts that Comcast will not assume will have to be honored by GE. So GE will probably try to work out a "buyout" of the contracts that Comcast doesn't assume.

The video link (above) has gone to the black hole of Keif's bathtub drain. It was the only time I have ever watched that twat, and had a question about his reference to "goverment" blah blah in Arizona this week." Perhaps he is riding herd with Sheriff Dipnut.
I also wondered if his upper lip was always that weird and stiff (maybe he was holding back tears).

I don't think this is political except that Comcast is unwilling to dump money down a rathole for ideology.
It's about money. Keith's contract was huge, but a test pattern would earn 90% of his audience. Comcast would be fine with O'Donnell. He's cheap.

It will happen (so I'm told) on the channel now known as Versus. It's a sports channel owned by Comcast, and the story I'm hearing is that it will be rebranded as NBC Sportschannel once the takeover is complete, with Keith as its star personality.
...
And apparently what he really wants is to exact some
long-delayed revenge on his bosses at ESPN. (Did you notice the shiv he

Too bad for the DNC: They realized too late that that slimy psycho, Olbermann, was one of the RNC's best assets.
But they haven't learned yet. Slimy psychos, Ed Schultz and Chis Matthews, will continue to do for Republicans what Olbermannn failed to accomplish. They, too, are two of the Republican Party's best assets.
The RNC has its own problems, though. Unless she is marginalized, and soon, Sarah Palin will become the Cynthia McKinney of the Republican Party. Behaviorially and intellectually, there isn't any difference between their respective supporters.

For classically bad lefty journalism (but I repeat myself!) look up the David Bauder AP story on this. He mentions how Keith was whipping the Spitzer/Swallower show, but strangely fails to mention at all some other show that was on at the same time - and was beating Keith 3 to 1. Then, there are the usual accolades from all the lefty groups, and for balance? Um, nothing.
Are you telling me when Roger Ailes hangs it up, the article won't feature a few quotes from the other side, for balance?

Eyes like steel, cold oceans of deep thought
Until the flint of the Special Comment ignites
The Vesuvian flaming orbs, and the diatribe
Feared by the powerful. One million or so
Stroked vicariously by this cable warrior.
And then the door, ah, the door, lesser men
With higher titles point his way forward.
He needs to sidle and squirm through the jambs,
Built for the smaller heads of mere bosses and staff.
The bath, and the hot-water of self-satisfaction
Awaits you, and Palin can feel safe for two years
Unless you intend to void the non-compete clause
Of your buyout.
