I would venture a guess that Keith Olbermann was the class clown in High School. He was the guy everyone shook their head at when he spoke up in English class with some wisecrack, with the teacher giving him the 'stink eye.' His largest audience was probably back in High School anyway, as he is one of the myriad reasons no one watches MSNBC- he is the train wreck that you just can't avoid looking at, horrors!
I just crack up that so many in the MSM are fixated on Sarah Palin. Although they continue to attempt to marginalize her role in politics, along with the Republican party, they can't stop talking about her. His commentary on 'Countdown' on MSNBC in which he accuses Gov. Palin of sexism; she had the audacity to endorse a man, Conservative Party Doug
Hoffman over RINO Scozzafava. So much for party loyalty (which she claimed as her reason for pulling out) as she has ended up endorsing the Democrat in the race; if Ms. Scozzafava had an inkling of honor she would return her donors' money and that of the Republican Party. She is more liberal than most Democrats, and by endorsing Hoffman Gov. Palin sticks to her principles, something one might question what Scozzafava's principles better align with.
Every chance that Olbermann has the camera on his mug he jumps at the chance to call Gov. Palin a simpleton, a political hack and yet, she is everywhere on the news. Her new book is sold out, even before it has hit the shelves. I'll bet Olbermann picked up a copy, too. He just can't help himself. She is the lightning rod, he the lightning and he strikes at her everytime the storm comes.
I would suggest, wasted air and time, that Mr. Olbermann stick to his sports color commentary (not likely, but hey no one really listens unless some talk show host picks up on his inane comments. In fact, I like his sports commentary and humor. When it comes to his political views, the less said the better. One might even suggest that he is a misogynist- I don't listen to him enough to know that for a fact.
It is a good thing that Gov. Palin is not an intern, then she would be treated as royalty by sportscasters....

Laughable: 'Countdown' Accuses Palin of Sexism

The willingness of MSNBC on-air commentators to engage in political hackery for the Democratic Party knows no boundaries - as indicated by the latest charged hurled at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," who once called conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, "big mashed up bag of meat with lipstick," almost on a nightly basis attacks Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and has also regularly drubbed Palin, is now charging her with sexism.
On his Nov. 2 broadcast, Olbermann accused Palin of forcing former GOP congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava out of the race for New York's 23rd Congressional District and said Palin should be charged with sexism for doing so.
