1. I love Olbermann, but I wouldn't want NBC to risk oversaturation of him

I think they'd be better off bringing in someone else like Phil Donahue or Rachel Maddow.

And has limited time (2 to 3 times) during week days on MSBNC that would be cool.

It's been the kiss of death for any show going against 60 Minutes.Maybe people are ready for something like this now.

5. He's a lot prettier than the codgers on 60 minutes.

Except that they added Anderson Cooper.
