Why Keith Olbermann’s claim to have lost five friends on Sept 11th is important

    We first need to do a little review of the events that started Olbermann’s rise – please bear with me. After a bizarre exit from ESPN, he did a year of “All Lewinsky, All The Time TV”. Apparently that did not give him the “hard news” chops he craved, so he took a little hiatus, doing a radio show for ABC.

    IS THAT MSNBC I SEE ADVERTISING ON REDSTATE?

    I’ll keep it short and sweet – if you need money THAT badly guys, ask us. In my view you might as well take money from Hugo Chavez or Robert Mugabe. MSNBC? I am going to log out for today, then log back in tonight, and pretend this never happened.
