Keith runs MSNBC... Chris Matthews is infuriated by it.

Olbermann Talks Office Politics, Other Politics

If MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann were to write a book about Office Politics 101, he'd call it "Do As I Write, Not As I Did for 20 Years." Olbermann discusses office politics and other issues in the February issue of Men's Journal magazine, out yesterday.

In the interview with Paul Tullis, one focus is Olbermann's habit of, "trashing people publicly, even his employers."

But he seems to be doing well for himself in the office now. Tullis cites a senior executive at MSNBC, who says, "Keith runs MSNBC. It's been an amazing turnaround, because two years ago they were going to cancel him. Because of his success, he's in charge. Chris Matthews is infuriated by it."

1. If they wanted to dilute Keith's powers, they could...

Hire other commentators who would tell the truth.

2. The funniest part is that Tweety actually thinks he has the skill to be in charge.

Keith should take Tweety aside and tell him to shape up or get out. :evilgrin:

3. I've known that since Election Night '06

That's the first time they co-anchored, and Chris was pouting like a supermodel. Besides, you had a long enough run as the network's "fair-haired boy," Chris--share the wealth!

6. Because Keith has a brain ... the Wizard of Oz stiffed Tweety

He's just a big braying brainless jackass.

7. Well, I guess Tweety was thrilled to read my email I sent to his

producer the other day then! After his ultra sexist remarks about Hillary and pinching her cheek when he met with her last week, and the disgusting way he treated that reporter who he kept saying "come closer, come closer", I HAD IT! I told his producer Tweety should have a month long suspension for his actions, and if he can't get his act together after that, then he should be fired!
