Olbermann Sent to Time Out

MSNBC has "suspended without pay" its star player, Keith Olbermann because he gave money to a bunch of Democratic Party candidates:http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/05/olbermann-donated-to-three-dems-in-apparent-violation-of-nbc-policy/.  Apparently, MSNBC is still under the impression that there is some gentle soul out there who thinks the network is a sanctuary for objective news coverage and equitable commentary, so they're playing this parlour game until the smoke clears.   I pretty much assumed that Olbermann gave money to Dems and have never been under the impression that he was pretending to be an objective news deliverer, ala the great pretender himself, Dan Rather.  Olbermann, O'Reilly, and all of these guys (that includes you, Rachel Maddow) certainly have convictions but they understand very well their roles to preach to their respective choirs to keep the ad money rolling in.  MSNBC is full of crap (see above) for thinking we somehow don't know it.

Keith Olbermann is the smartest funny guy on tv. Or maybe the funniest smart guy.

Oh, wait, maybe it's Jon Stewart.

Guess I am guilty of having a racist attitude: I think all news anchors look alike.
