If you wanted to get into the room for people who do not drool over Keith Olbermann you would have to stand in a very long line, so it is hardly everybody except you. Olbermann is a mixed bag, he is arrogant and pompous and thinned skinned and melodramatic. He is also brilliant and insightful and courageous and has more integrity than the average bear. Because he is not perfect does not make him nothing but an opinonated blowhard (though yes, obviously, he is an opinonated blowhard). He is also a reactionary - tell him he can not do something and he will do it, just to be cantankorous. This is not his political ideology, it is his neurosis (he was like that at ESPN). I think there is a chance that in a less controlling situation he might be less defiant. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
