Oh, Goody: Olbermann Is Back Anchoring Primary Coverage

But only after New Hamphsire:

After a rocky week of public sniping between Keith Olbermann and the management of Current, Olbermann will anchor on election nights beginning after the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.

“I am pleased that I’ll be running the election coverage on Current, following this Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary,” said Olbermann in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday. “However, I don’t think those participating in the New Hampshire primary will share my satisfaction.”

The rest here.

Oh, and don’t say he’s involved with the coverage: he’s running it. Or does he mean ruining? We shall see:

I don't get Current on cable. Current has an On Demand channel that I can get, but for some reason it doesn't include Olbermann's show!

Burning up Al Gore's money, time and patience yet with no risk that I might come across him anywhere on TV. Perfect!

Meanwhile MSNBC added Al Sharpton to their lineup, and he is a much funnier newsclown. Everyone wins!

Don't know if I get Current or not - haven't been motivated enough to find out.

But depending the early November polls, I might well be inclined to search it out on election night, so I can enjoy the spectacle of Olbermann attempting to pull his own head off his shoulders with his bare hands, or, failing that, simply trying to chew it off.

If it gives anybody any comfort, he is on CurrentTV, which nobody watches. So he will only annoying the people stuck working in the TV studio.
