I’m not really on a campaign to get KO the gig (in fact I recently unfollowed him on Twitter because I just could not take another: “They’re going to kill Bob tomorrow at dawn unless you adopt him” tweet). But come on, whatever you think of Keith, he does not belong in the same sentence as Hannity. There may be a reason or too why Olbermann won’t and maybe shouldn’t get the job, but there are dozens of reasons Hannity won’t get it, and being too smart and too brittle for the room are not in his top ten.
Yes, both may alienate too big a portion of the opposite ideological spectrum to make sense as the host of a show aiming for a universal audience, but only one of them would actually be good at the job is that were not a factor.
