In case anyone is interested in the author's bio,he use to work for Newt Gingrich.Peter Roff, a senior fellow with the Institute for Liberty, is a veteran Washington political operative and journalist. A former political director for Newt Gingrich's GOPAC he was, for five years, the senior political writer for United Press International, the venerable wire service in operation for more than 100 years.
Love this part:
"Among his more inflammatory comments, Olbermann once, after attacking Fox News host Sean Hannity for his position on "waterboarding," said he would donate $1,000 to charity for every second that Hannity was himself waterboarded, reported Newsmax.com."
Newsmax Papa? Really?

And, it is my understanding that MSNBC made a profit last year, which helped GE's bottom line.

And, as for the waterboarding issue, here is the conversation:
Charles Grodin was challenging Hannity on the issue on Fox last week, and asked whether he would consent to be waterboarded.
"Sure," Hannity said. "I'll do it for charity ... I'll do it for the troops' families."
It wasn't exactly clear how serious the conversation was, since Grodin joked, "Are you busy on Sunday?" and Hannity laughed.
"I'll let you do it," Hannity said.
"I wouldn't do it," Grodin said. "I'll hand you a towel when you come out of the shower."
I think the issue here is how this was framed in the article linked to by papa.

Hope you don't mind my source coming from Buzzflash. Maybe I will post a story about Glen Beck or Sean Hanity written by Sean Penn.

Shame? LOL! Good one! Until I hear you add some pundits from Fox News to that list it is just a personal grudge you have against Keith.

You hate Keith Olberman but you are making a piss poor argument and the title of this thread is hilarious and not true at all.

keith olbermann: the worst person in the world and a hypocrite to boot.

I'm surprised their giving Olbermann a raise. Maddow I could understand.
Posted: 5/1/09 at 4:55pm
You still have not answered my question about the author of the OP. Judging by his background, would this guy write a positive piece on Keith? Is this your idea of a fair and balanced write up? I emailed the article to Keith at MSNBC in hopes that he might address this issue.Guess I should have sent him the link to this post as well.Papa, come one already!
