MSNBC Afraid to Fire Keith Olbermann?

It just dawned on me that as annoying as Keith Olbermann has become, the idea of paying the guy to do nothing must really irk MSNBC moreso than firing him. It's too bad MSNBC didn't just remain neutral in this years democratic race.

If MSNBC had remained neutral in this years democratic race, Hillary Clinton would have won an incredibly close contest. Barack Obama would be a rising star within the democratic party with the potential of being a 2 term VP and then a 2 term President. The just completed Denver Convention could have been a combo love in of epic proportions and a tribute to the 90's as well, and an incredible ratings success.



I think MSNBC might be realizing all that they have lost by influencing the democratic nomination process. The ability of Olbermann to counteract the right has been lost amidst ridiculously amped up umbarging against the Clinton camp throughout the campaign. Even Olbermann's taunts against Bill O'Reilly fall flat as whenever I tune into O'Reilly (and I never used to until Keith started reminding me to), O'Reilly is calm, cool, and collected, something Olbermann hasn't been in months.

"Men" who Enjoy Attacking Hillary Clinton and then Gloating About it, add Dick Morris to the List.

The concept of attacking those who helped boost your own career has been taken to a new extreme by Dick Morris, who seems to enjoy gloating about his attacks against the Clintons as well. When men publicly gloat over their public attacks against a woman, they seem to do it fearlessly.



It has always struck me as cowardly to attack someone more menacingly if you don't fear a physical confrontation from them. Dick Morris gleefully gloated over how Hillary Clinton was attacked by the Republicans at the 1992 Republican convention and therefore Bill Clinton was left unscathed.

The glee Morris showed on the Bill O'Reilly show just comes off as another man who needs to show his bravado against those who probably won't physically kick his butt. (notice I said probably). In my opinion, Dick Morris is a coward.
