This is on me: I saw the tweet while on a bus to the train station and only had my mobile. I knew there was a thread already on this very topic, but I also knew it'd take forever and a day to find it on an iPhone 3G with a spotty AT&T connection (PS: don't bother using your AT&T phone at the intersection of Wacker and Franklin in downtown Chicago). The basic point was that Olbermann was being exactly as histrionic and narcissistic as we would've expected from him, only now he was calling out his bosses on Twitter. In fact, about three seconds after I sent it, I thought to myself, "I really should've apologized for creating a new thread in that e-mail."
My apologies for creating a new thread. On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 1:08 PM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think I have lost the point of this thread.
