We all know what happened to Downey. All that hate wore on people and soon he was cancelled. It is just a matter of time before Olbermann implodes and becomes just another TV Trivia question.

Hating Bush all the time will only work for a while and once Bush is gone, what will Olbermann do? It's sad because he is a talented guy but the niche he chose for himself will have a short shelve life.

re: Keith Olbermann = Morton Downey Jr.
People said the same thing about Rush Limbaugh when Clinton left office, yet he still spills his vitriol on a daily basis. No worries. Olbermann will be fine once Bush is gone.

I wonder what would happen if Olbermann had a guest on that didn't agree with his irrational hatred of everything Republican. Is he afraid of a debate? He is running out of left wing loons to share his hate. And MSNBC wonders why they can't get a republican to come on.

Olbermann is getting beat by Lou Dobbs on a daily basis. That says something.

The difference is this
Rush Limbaugh will criticize people on the right and left.He has proven he can go after Republicans just has hard has he do Democrats.

Keith Olbermann has never shown he can do that.Instead of doing his show criticizing Clinton,he wouldn't get out of his bathtub.He earned the name "bathtub boy".

If Obama or Hillary gets elected,that will be the end of Olby.

Olbermann would never have a guest on he disagrees with.

Rush Is Doing Schtick, Genius.
He and Morton Downey had the same mentor/producer: Bob Pittman.

Mr. MTV told both of them that doing the angry conservative white man thing would bring them ratings and riches.

O'Reilly, Savage, Coulter, Malkin-- you name the right winger - they are doing the same act.

Olbermann is simply relaying facts to the veiwer.

the difference between an angry white conservitive and an angry white lib is an angry white lib just doesn't play well to people. lol. doesn't being angry go against the "can't we all just get along" stuff libs like to speak about? i agree, the oooosh in boooosh that olborman expels will be the sound of the air getting knocked out of him when the door hits him in the ass on his way out. which will be soon after bush. even if olborman continues his conservitive hate drooling should a member of the GOP get bush's job, i believe he will loose followers. you see his shtick is based on hating boooosh. with a new leader, even a republican one, it will be hard for the dems to hate them as much as they do bush. at least right off the bat. lol. that then will throw olborman a curve ball that just may send him looking for a sports show that needs an angry comentator that likes to spend the last three minutes of his show in a ranting monologue to the camera. but what the heck do i know. he is after all holding "down" the fort at bsnbc.

Once Bush is gone, Queef will focus completely on stalking O'Reilly and continue having agreeable boring guests. Then if O'Reilly were to disappear for awhile, the Queef show would be cancelled within weeks. He's a bottomfeeder sucking whatever he can from Bill's success, nothing more. Queef's fans know deep down that this is true.

no drgonzo is the bottomfeeder trying to steal from Hunter S. Thompson. Low rent types like this will always envy the superb skills of Keith 'Our Man' Olbermann.
