— Ace I meant to do this so much earlier.
Olbermann is, again, making a spectacle of his fundamental inability to get along with anyone.
“I was not given a legitimate opportunity to host under acceptable conditions,” Olbermann said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. “They know it and we know it. Telling half the story is wrong.”
There is no I in teamwork, but there is one in Special Comment.
Here's the memo sent to the Countdown staff by an executive:
To the Countdown Staff....I wanted to clarify tonight's programming, as I gather there may be some misunderstanding about what is on when.
As we assumed Keith had communicated to you, Keith was asked to be the sole anchor and executive producer of our primary and caucus coverage. He declined.
We then made other plans to have our 4 hours of prime time election coverage tonight hosted by Al Gore, Jennifer Granholm, and The Young Turks. We tried several times to have Keith participate in our coverage, including being the lead anchor for the 8p hour tonight, incorporated with our election group in the Los Angeles studio and produced in the LA control room. We have a special election graphic package, live remotes, caucus feeds, etc.
There will be NO stand-alone Countdown tonight. For those of you at work who might be preparing a program, I apologize your managers did not communicate this to you. See you back on the air tomorrow night.
I don't understand the dispute, and part of this might be legal maneuvering on the part of either or both side to demonstrate a willingness to work with the other party (like, if someone suspects there might a court involved in the future).
Is the argument about whether or not Olbermann would host the caucus coverage and be executive producer of it versus whether it would be specifically branded as Countdown with Keith Olbermann hosting the coverage?
Is that it? A dispute about whether Keith Olbermann's name and franchise would go above the title, as they'd say in Hollywood (aka Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life)?
Whose ego would walk over such a silly distinction?
Ohhhh. Right.
I don't know. All I know is that everyone hates Keith Olbermann's guts, including those who agree with him on just about everything.
Oh, and Keith Olbermann's a moron.

They need some of that smart diplomacy the liberals are always talking about. You know, understand each other, hug it out, maybe take a long soapy shower together, that sort of thing. That should do it.
That, and high speed rail.

No rule, no, but most threads die once the head Ewok posts something new. Usually.
And I don't object to any new posts (I don't even object to this one- lest further abominations by George Lucas be posted), but it seems a little frivolous to me. All things considered.
Just an observation. It's getting time for me to head home anyway, so it's not like I'm going to be doing much more posting either way.

Keith has carried every network he has ever worked at including ESPN, just ask him. Make no matter of the fact that their ratings didn't shift when he walked as he tends to do. Where are you walking to next Olby? Podcast? Youtube channel? Way to work your way to the top.
Maybe you are just jealous of Glenn Beck cause he runs his own online network and gets to call all teh shots. It couldn't be that Olby? Could it? You are jealous of Glenn while you had to be a joiner and hitch your wagon to Current? You want to be the big boy and run that network don't you Olby? Go on, the only thing stopping you is your own inner feelings of inadequacy, impotence, and the door at Current. I can tell you how to overcome at least one of those.

I can't be sure, but I have a pretty strong feeling that the reason Olbermann refused to do the "election night" coverage is because he wasn't going to be allowed to do it by himself alone.
THAT has always been the big sticking point with Olbermann throughout the years -- he hates sharing the stage with anyone else as an equal. Guests? He'll happily have guests on. But not co-anchors. That would imply that someone other than Keith was also "in charge," or had a say in running the show. One of the key details in these stories is how Olbermann pointedly declined to be quoted in praising the additions of Cenk Uygur or Jennifer Granholm to the Current TV lineup...why do you think that is? Because he hates the idea of anyone else taking up some of his spotlight. And he didn't want to have to share election night with them either.
He's a diva, it's really that simple.

I'd love to see him do a podcast. He wouldn't last a month. That's a real market. If you can make money doing podcasts (Adam Carolla is probably the only one who does) then you really have content.

The producers aren't expecting high ratings but said they feel a professional responsibility because "these are both long running unsolved mysteries and someone needs to finally step in and see if they're soluble".

My guess is that this is a loss-leader for the publication. If it's an audio podcast, costs are incredibly low except for the producer (your neighbor) and the talent.
In the case of Slate and WaPo, the talent is probably doing it for free. That is, their usual reporters are brought on and have to pimp their stories in an interview format. Maybe the host does several of these. But I'd guess they take a loss, it's hard to sell ad space on a podcast.
And that's audio. Olbermann's too good for audio.

Subordination of perjury should have been in the charge, but most unfortunately the senior leadership probably believed questioning or indicting Bettie Currie would damage their credibility because she's a member of a protected class.
Bettie Currie did relieve the Clinton pricks of their duty to maintain the cat Socks. She adopted the cat so the Clinton's could move on to more important things like travel and public speaking.

Really? I thought it was because he had an intern lick his butthole. And then lied to a Judge about it while under oath. But I guess that makes him a hero to some folks.
And Bush believed intelligence from all over the world about WMDs. Yeah, that's not an impeachable offense there, mister. If it was, Kerry also would have been impeached.

The Order of Impeachment was not
for seduction of an alluring damsel on US Government property by a
superior, which is a crime in and of itself, but for committing perjury
before a Federal Magistrate.

Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is 26, has a job selling a kitchen gadget named MagiPeeler, and is married to Janice, a former salesgirl at the store where he worked. They have a two-year-old son named Nelson, and live in Mount Judge, a suburb of Brewer, Pennsylvania. He believes that his marriage is a failure and that something is missing from his life: Having been a basketball star in high school, Harry finds middle-class family life unsatisfying. On the spur of the moment, he decides to leave his family and drive south in an attempt to "escape." However, after getting lost, he returns to his home town. Not wanting to return to his family, he instead visits his old basketball coach, Marty Tothero.
That night, Harry has dinner with Tothero and two girls, one of whom, Ruth Leonard, is a part-time prostitute. Harry and Ruth begin a two-month affair, and Harry moves into her apartment. During this time, Janice moves back into her parents' house and the local Episcopal priest, Jack Eccles, befriends Harry in a futile attempt to get him to reconcile with his wife. Nonetheless, Harry remains with Ruth until the night he learns that she had a fling with his high school nemesis, Ronnie Harrison. Enraged, Harry coerces Ruth into to fellating him. The same night, Harry learns that Janice has given birth, and he leaves Ruth to visit his wife at the hospital.
Reunited with Janice, Harry returns home with her and their daughter, named Rebecca June. Harry attends church one morning and, after walking the minister's wife Lucy home, interprets an invitation from her to come in for a coffee as a sexual advance. When he refuses, she slams the door on him in apparent disgust. Harry returns to his apartment, and, happy about the birth of his daughter, tries to reconcile with Janice. He encourages her to have a whiskey, then, misreading her mood, pressures her to have sex in spite of her postnatal condition. When she refuses and accuses him of treating her like a prostitute, Harry dry humps her, punches her, then leaves her in an attempt to reunite with Ruth. Distraught, Janice gets drunk, and accidentally drowns Rebecca June in the bath tub.
Tothero visits Harry and suggests that the thing he is looking for probably does not exist. At Rebecca June's funeral, Harry's internal and external conflicts result in a sudden proclamation of his innocence in the baby's death. He then runs from the graveyard, pursued by Jack Eccles, until he becomes lost.
After wandering in the woods, Harry returns to Ruth and learns that she is pregnant by him. Though Harry is relieved to discover she has not had an abortion, he is unwilling to divorce Janice. Harry abandons Ruth, still chasing the fleeting feeling he has attempted to grasp during the course of the novel; his fate is uncertain as the novel concludes.

"Ours" or not is immaterial - let the work stand on its own. Ironic, or possibly tragic, is your attempt to portray yourself as some kind of intellectual powerhouse, well-read, worldly, and above the fray, but unable to articulate anything more than a gut-level childlike response to criticism.

If not, "The Count of Monte Cristo" certainly does. That's aside from the fact that the five novel series that began with "The Three Musketeers" was one of the most heavily researched pieces of historical fiction ever undertaken, before the genre even existed. That said, and for the record, I'd say the original translastion of "Musketeers" does qualify as a great novel.
