Just to prove his journalistic dexterity, would it not be interesting to see Keith Olbermann switch hit? He could go to FoxNews to demonstrate his ability to rant as rightwardly as the best of them.

Jim, Olbermann looks a bit oriental in that picture you've posted. Or, I'm reading something into the expression on his face. I read an interesting observation somewhere today, arguing that he was "terminated" to save higher ups from getting the boot once Comcast takes control. It will be interesting to see where Olbermann ends up. We haven't heard the last of him.

I was having trouble with my Comcast TriplePlay service and they sent out Keith to take look. I thought he was the guy from Hunan Palace with my dinner order at first. Come on.
