Aha! I knew someone would get to the bottom of this shocker (”Keith Olbermann Declares Off With Dana Milbank’s Head”). At last! The sordid details!
Politico’s Michael Calderone has the scoop, via Memeorandum.com:
Milbank’s dissatisfaction with the show started before any controversy over the Obama piece or questions from Olbermann about misquoting the […]

The arrogance. The perfidy. The cock of the walk puffed up rooster-ness of it all!
On The Big Orange, Commissar Keith Olbermann decided to whet the appetites of his rabid, but dwindling, fan base by offering “a little preview of an item on tonight’s Countdown” by ordering an EXECUTION:
The headline: Dana Milbank won’t be […]

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate […]

This election season has been more than educational; at the minimum the rivalry between Hillary and Barack has illustrated the sexist underpinnings in our political power culture, that mainly go ‘unseen,’ or in Freudian terms, either ‘denied’ or ‘repressed.’ The sexism of the campaign had to go way ‘over the top’ for some to ‘get […]

Monday, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann dropped his pompoms and attempted to re-reverse himself by doing a "special comment" about Barack Obama’s recent reversal on FISA (Crooks & Liars has the video and transcript). Mr. Olbermann made two major mistakes:
1) He said that Sen. Obama has a second chance to fight FISA
2) He indicated that he still […]

Politico.com, July 1, 2008: “Obama to scrap Bush’s faith-based office“
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) plans to slam President Bush’s faith-based program as “a photo op” and a failure on Tuesday, and says he would scrap the office and create a new Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships that would be a “critical” part of his administration. […]

Last night, I was reading Curve Magazine (Vol.18,#6, July/August, 2008). In it was an article by noted Lesbian activist and writer, Victoria A. Brownworth, “Why Do They Hate Us? How the Media treats Hillary is indicative of how the world sees women: as second class citizens.” The title pretty much says it all. And what […]

Let’s admit the reality–Keith Olbermann stinks. But I am not talking about an appalling lack of personal hygiene. Instead, it is his appalling hypocrisy. After spending most of the last year rebuking Hillary Clinton as a candidate who “would do anything” to win, he is now conspicuously silent as he reports on […]

Today’s NYP had a Keith Olbermann item on its Page Six. If you don’t know, Page Six is the gossip page. And today Keith was the feature.
Network sources told Page Six Olbermann was furious last week when MSNBC didn’t get him a first-class ticket to Washington, DC, for a private service honoring […]

Rebecca Traister this week writing in Salon thinks she knows how 18 million people think:
The attack of the PUMAs, or a dozen reasons why Clinton voters are still too angry to come home.
If you’re a dedicated Democrat — or perhaps even one of those fed-up Republicans we’ve heard about — there’s a good […]
