Sometimes I get into a masochistic mood and I …..
watch MSNBC evening talk shows. Sick isn’t it??

Well, anyway, it is a shame to watch Keith Olbermann and what he does to himself. I feel sorry for him because he really is quite an articulate speaker. He has a larger than average vocabulary. He is professional. (He formerly was an announcer on ESPN.)

Yet, the problem is not so much that he is a flaming, bleeding heart liberal, but that his diatribes are more about himself. He wants you to know he has a superior intellect – more than any conservative. I think he does all of this out of a deep-seated frustration. Because his show is so lowly rated. He is scheduled against Bill O’Reilly and Nancy Grace. Looking at the numbers below show how few people really care to listen to him nationally.
