Nobody saw it coming. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann announced during last night's telecast that it would be his last as the host of Countdown. There was no prior notice, and K.O. gave no reason. The liberal icon is brilliant and hilarious, but he works on his own terms and is notorious for his refusal to kowtow to higher-ups. This is not a useful trait if you're into job security. Years ago, he blew himself up at ESPN and, probably, he's done it again.
Olbermann's articulate rants would piss off all the redneck red-staters (many of whom are too dumb to understand him in the first place), and he'd routinely give Fox-wad Bill O'Reilly the verbal finger. His nightly segment, "Worst Person In the World", was classic.
Yes, he's a white-hot leftie, but he always has a little twinkle in his eye. I'll miss him, but he'll turn up somewhere soon. Too talented not to.
