We'll Miss Keith Olbermann

Unlike all those "open-minded" liberals in this country who work tirelessly to have opposition voices (think Limbaugh) banned from the public arena of ideas, I've always enjoyed ultra-leftist Keith Olbermann's participation.  He's entertaining.  Buffoonish.  And entertaining.  I would never think of calling for his proscription from the national discussion.

That's the difference between them and us.

Looks like someone has banished him though.  Either that or he's going to work for Obama (isn't the White House press secretary position still vacant?).

The news: Olbermann Signs Off from MSNBC’s Countdown for Last Time

No reason given.

Maybe he's joined a convent?

Instapundit provides a comment from a reader.  A Keith Olbermann epitaph:

"His viewer is going to be bummed."

 Ouch.

Then again, we'll always have a Kennedy to kick around.

What's with the convent crack, Jerry. Were you thinking Clinton? Nah. That would be playboy mansion. Love that rumor he'll be next White House Press Liar for Obama-ayers though. A marriage made in heaven. Yeah, we really need another Kennedy. Lessee, DOD (dear old Dad) was a super thief, bootlegger and Nazi lover. Jack was a weak-kneed womanizer. Bobby was a super sneaky Eric Holder type who tapped nearly everybodys 'phone. Teddy was a Super Disgusting Creature and would-be traitor. Patrick couldn't be sobered up enough to run again. Jack's daughter Caroline doesn't know any other English words except "y'know". Kathleen wasn't much of a Lt. Gov. and lost the almost exclusively Democrat Maryland Governor's race big time. Teddy Junior has some big shoes to fill. Is he dishonest and disloyal enough for the task?
