Carlin on Keith Olbermann

PRICELESS!



And also very spot on. Esp when George talks about aggressively going after Republics. No pussy footing around for George. Damn I miss Keith. For me he was the only MSM available with the truth during the dark ages of the GW Bush years.

who insist that Mr. Olbermann is bombastic and ego driven: are you TRULY happy that his news reports are silenced? Do you not miss segments like these?

I miss him. Moreover, I miss journalism.

And an excellent appreciation of humor. (I learned of the late Bill Hicks first from Keith)

I think real egomaniacs have a lot of difficulty with any forms of humor because humor appreciation requires introspection and intelligence.

I think Keith's rep as an egomaniac is bogus. I do think he shares my bad habit of working for bad bosses, though. Keith would prosper with the same sorts of bosses Howard Stern has been lucky enough to have all these decades.

I've had my share of bad bosses. I'm lucky to be working with good people, finally! Making a pittance, but thrilled to be in an ethical work environment.
