Missing Olbermann

I really don't, but Bret Stephens has a great piece on Olbermann and the larger story of the media yesterday and today: http://online.wsj.com/article/global_view.html.  Several nails hit squarely on the head.  Anyway, it wouldn't be a shocker to see Olbermann not only return quickly but return with a vengeance in a new and improved role somewhere else--despite his awfulness, he's one smart SOB and has a lemming like following of true believers.
I read what O'Reilly said (or didn't say)--he refused to mention Olbermann by name in discussing the MSNBC shake up, though I'm sure one or two 825 year old bottles of scotch were consumed after the news hit.  Don't know what Limbaugh said but I have watched some of the new Golf Channel's "Haney Project" where Hank Haney is now charged with the task of making Rush a new and improved golfer.  Verdict: didn't enjoy it.  Limbaugh is a talented radio performer but for whatever reason, he just doesn't come off well on television.  The most interesting thing about the show is the inclusion of Haney's hot trophy wife--I'm guessing a spin off or maybe "Housewives of the Golf Channel" will be up next.

Mrs Haney is quite impressive
