Keith Olbermann returned to cable television last night with his Current TV version of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The former ESPN anchor-turned-vocal libtard left MSNBC in January and announced his move to Al Gore's network in April. His show is pretty much the same as before, if only on a different channel, and he's still "madder than hell." His first "Worst Persons In The World" segment featured everyone's favorite "very well-educated" Metro-North rider, Hermon Raju (see video below), but to some MSNBC viewers, Olbermann is a Worst Person for running four minutes in the 9 p.m. Rachel Maddow hour!
Olbermann has been furiously Tweeting at other Twitterers who complained about Olbermann's show going over. He noted MSNBC's own tactics to ensure its audience was tuning in and pointed out that he doesn't hate Maddow and reminds everyone that he was her champion, "By your logic, I should never have pushed for her to get that show just in case she did well or I went elsewhere!"
For your amusement, check out Lloyd Grove's assessment of the show on The Daily Beast—he found guest Michael Moore "distractingly corpulent."
