Where's Keith Olbermann been lately?

[T Roosevelt]

Awful long time to be on vacation.

1. According to his Twitter, he's had bronchitis.

Although there's been some speculative links to the problems he was reportedly having with Current management.

2. Yes! Inquiring minds want to know!

I wonder if he is having workplace "issues" again?

13. He Is...According to Daily Beast

He get's paid $10 million - and is rarely there.

KO spends a lot of time on Facebook.

3. He's had bronchitis and lost his voice

I've been following his tweets ...
His doctor had forbidden him to use his voice, which makes me think an inflamed larynx accompanied his bronchitis. On Wednesday, he tweeted a message saying he was cleared by his doctor to begin using his full voice on Monday, so he should be back then.

I've had the same exact thing for the last three weeks. It's a nasty bug! A constant cough ... sore throat ... difficulty breathing and talking ... it hasn't been fun! I have asthma, so that's complicated things a bit more for me, but my doc said many of his patients have it. It doesn't respond well to antibiotics and you pretty much have to ride it out.

4. how awful. I bet it hurts. It will be nice to have him back

i watch both him and ed shultz ..... going back and forth during their segments

[McCamy Taylor]

5. Yes, it is going around. I have it too. I hate losing my voice, since my moto is

"I talk, therefore I am."

6. what a drag. Get well Keith!!

we need ya buddy. I really like Dave Shuster. Get him a show of his own and bring us back your stentorian voice.

[maryallen]

7. We miss you, Keith!

Get well soon!

8. I think Keith is becoming more and more dispensable. I hope Al Gore does not pay him more or

accommodate him in any more ways. He either puts up or shuts up. I have gone from loving Keith to not giving a shit what happens to him. He has done this to himself. I thank him for Rachel, but I have had enough of his spoiled antics.

You have lost all credibility when people question whether you are sick or lying due to work place issues.

[Fawke Em]

9. He made himself sick?

BTW, what's with all the Rachel love on DU? I find her quite silly.

[sufrommich]

10. What do you find "silly" about Rachel Maddow? nt

[Fawke Em]

11. Her skits. They're stupid.

She's smarter than that, but I find myself rolling my eyes at her props and skits and drinks and whatever.

[Logical]

12. She is a goof ball. Silly.

[Bandit]

14. Who do you prefer to get your political news from?

I find Rachel extremely informative. She has a way of informing people without seeming to lecture them or talk down to them. Lawrence Odonnell does that pretty well also. Keith is more of a firebrand but also quite informative. I trust those three explicitly and can not say that about any other political talk show hosts..

[Road Dog]

15. My sentiments exactly...

Keith, Rachel and Lawrence are also my most trusted sources of political information. The very few times they have ever made a mistake, they have corrected it immediately and apologized. Each has their own special and inimitable style. I record all their shows and always find time to watch them.
