    Keith Olbermann fired again...hopefully this time for good. His new employer, Comcast, was going to fire him anyway...

    Good riddance, if we're talking about changing rhetoric it has to start with assholes like him. He was the worst on TV.

    Not much demand for self-important, self-styled "intellectuals" lecturing folks on why they should feel ashamed of their country, themselves and why they should sacrifice 50% or more of their hard earned money to hair brained social programs with little or no chance of success.

    If the ratings fight between him and O'Riley had been in the ring they would have stopped it years ago. Good for Comcast. I hope Jeff Zucker's ass quickly follows KO out the door.

    I read that he may have quit, that he had been trying to get our of his contract or sign for more money.

    I frankly don't care which reason is correct, I am just glad the jerk is gone.

    He was the biggest hater on cable tv.
