Well surprise, surprise: Keith Olbermann is out at the liberal lunatic asylum.
We predicted this inevitable outcome ( a dead-solid lock once Comcast took over) several times when I was editing Big Journalism for Andrew Breitbart. Here’s a piece I wrote (under the site’s editorial voice, “Frank Ross”) on May 1 after the progressive side of the aisle had started complaining about Keith. The kicker:
It’s only a matter of time before Olbermann gets the well-deserved canning that’s coming to him, so let the Countdown begin…
It’s too bad — I thought he and Dan Patrick on ESPN were great, and never did get the credit they deserved for a fresh, funny show — one that set the template for all the lesser imitations that have followed.
But, as a super-special Special Commenter, he made a great sportscaster.
