Remember when he was questioned with the rumor that he had been gone from work because of a temper tantrum over the Maddow show trumping Countdown with a Ben Afflect interview?

Keith went into spasms of indignant outrage claiming that he had been absent from Countdown in order to settle his late mother’s affairs.

As in this instance, during his off-time, Olbermann was photographed enjoying himself at a baseball game.

They don’t call him “bath tub boy” for nothing.

Face it… the template is out there, and if you want to start complaining, start with your own side first, lest someone call you a HYPOCRITE. Cox does a good job of exposing Olbermann’s many false and misleading statements… if you don’t like it, tough. KO is a hack, and it’s a good thing someone is calling him on it.

As for this story… there are two potentials to it:

(1) KO just didn’t want to report on Republican’s winning anything. This is completely possible, as we know what happened in his previous MSNBC career, when he left because he didn’t like reporting on the Lewinsky scandal. The man can’t take anything that doesn’t 100% conform to his spin, so he bails.

or (2) KO has such a massive ego that he just doesn’t care. This more applies to Wednesday’s missed show. Sure it was a big news night, and sure folks would have tuned in to hear what he had to say… but he wanted to see the baseball game, so f**k MSNBC… what are they going to do… fire him? Not likely. Egotism and KO are never too far appart… just ask ESPN.

Either way, Keith once again shows just how much of a “news man” he isn’t. The proof, of course, will come after next year’s elections. If the Republican candidates do well, and KO “mysteriously” disappears, there will be no doubt… and perhaps even the most fanatical will agree that KO is a coward.
