Olbermann SUSPENDED for political donations, to return Tuesday, 11/9 — Page 3

And, of course, the inevitable
online petition.

I read the title and thought it said, "Olbermann may be in trouble for political delusions."

This is a fitting end to a pathetic career. Pelosi may keep her job, but Olby won't keep his. Such a shame.

Is she being fired too?

Poor dear Rachel. After her on air tirade tonight, she may get fired. MESSNBC is having a full=blown meltdown

I want to be as smart as Maddow for just a day. Just to know what it feels like.

Thanks, strummergirl!

Scott Brown wants you to think that. He really has never fully considered the blowback on that possibility.

No problem, ghostlight.

'I'm glad she's getting people to reject the "the left is just like the right but on the left" meme.'

Is she? Don't get me wrong, she has no bigger fan than me, but I'm not sure she's changing many minds. We're the choir, right?

That said, she is eloquent and intelligent, and she obviously works very hard. It's a remarkable combination. She's such much better than anyone else, I find others almost unwatchable.

I CAN'T WAIT to see what Stewart and Colbert do with this on Monday. Too bad this happened on their off-night. Stewart had Chris Wallace on the other night, and he was critical of MSNBC for trying to be the left's version of Fox. This incident blows that theory WAY out of the water.

I really don't think it's about politics, it's not about objectivity, it's not about journalism.

It's about a boss who had it in for an employee who doesn't respect him. It's all about Olbermann not asking permission to make the donation and Griffin finally having a way to publicly humiliate him.

Thanks for telling me about the Chris Wallace interview, madbrian. For those who haven't seen it:

"Hopefully Olbermann's suspension will be short-lived..."

However, in order for Maddow's comments to hold merit, and MSNBC to be able to claim some high road, the suspension needs to be meaningful. I'm thinking 2 weeks.

I read the comments on this crazy harridan's blog, and I wonder again how people really believe the right and the left are exactly alike.
