Following up on this post about Bill O'Reilly's petition asking Bob Wright to can Keith Olbermann and bring back Phil Donahue. TVNewser asked Olbermann for his reaction to the petition, and he wrote:

"I'll sign that petition!

The entire Countdown staff will sign the petition during tonight's broadcast...
