Aren’t You Nice for Paying Keith Olbermann’s Salary?
It looks like one of Barack Obama’s biggest MSM boosters, Keith Olbermann, is going to be getting rich in part off of your tax money.
It appears that GE Capital will participate in the federal government’s debt-guarantee program, under which the government stands to back as much as $139 billion of the company’s debt through the middle of 2009. GE thereby becomes the first company with meaningful industrial operations to join Uncle Sam’s latest program.
GE Capital is owned by General Electric, which also owns Olbermann’s employer, MS-NBC.
Olbermann just signed an extended contract that will reportedly make him $7.5 million a year. I note that because the anti-American yap dog once scoffed snootily about corporate CEO’s salaries by noting that they made, on average, 470 times that of the average American worker. I suppose that a salary that’s only 149 times bigger , subsidized in part with tax money taken from American workers isn’t quite enough to make Olby’s conscience twitch.

oberman is a fraud he says he cares about the poor but gives nothing to the poor. besides he really is mentally sick
why doesnt oberman report the news fairly instead of slanted bigoted and rude comments , he has a position that should require that instead he sounds like a announcer of WWW wrestling on monday nights , full of hot air , slanted views and selling a act not being a real person
Turn this network off the minute the so called broadcasters start their anti conservative rant
He is worth every dime, Rush Slimbaugh gets 5 Million and he is a liar. only if he doesn't do what he promised, Leave the Country if the health bill passed
"New Democrat", huh? Sounds like the same old Democratic bilge to me.
Keith is a newsman who uses counter tactics to El Rushbo as a necessary evil to the trade. Limbaugh entered a plea bargain to his synthetic heroine addiction,therefore admitting he is an addict.He got off scot-free. You would think a true "conservative would be conservative in his eating habits. Obviously this is not so. Perhaps a conservative would also want to conserve gas because it is the sensible thing to do regardless of the spin about G Warming. There is an environment without and within. It appears Rushbo's inner environment is full of toxic waste.There is nothing conservative about him.cebru@live.com
Right.
And what, exactly, do you know about what is and isn't conservative? You call Keith Olbermann a "newsman", which doesn't give you much cred in the intelligence department.

DB.Patton Democrat anti Republican party for anything
You know, DB, if you could spell and use reasonably good grammar, you might sound halfway intelligent.
Or not.
Also, consider this your warning. Knock off the ad hominem and no more using "teabagger" as an insult or you get the banhammer.
Jeeeeezus, D.B.! Free writing and grammar lessons at my house! Ther Chinese do better than you.
bring keith back he isone of the best on msnbc why is his boss so insecure or does this just boast his low self esteem. cj.rn
Oh, Cueto J. (ha,ha). You are so SMART!
Why is it that Keith didn't complain about the part of his contract that forbids him to donate to a political race when he signed it? Is it because he couldn't read past the $4,000,000 salary? He makes 10 times what the president does. Yet he doesn't want to honor a signed agreement with his employer. Fire the bum!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Olberman is a self aggrandizing know nothing blowhard,
At least Olbermann checks his facts, if he does speak wrongly he corrects himself. he does'nt make them up as he goes along. like the fiction net work news!
That's an interesting theory you have.
oberman's new venture has made my day Now MSNBC is without the best on TV
Mr. O is as worthless as the tits on a boar hog! What a scumbag! I wouldn't give him the sweat off my horse's butt! Someone needs to take Olbermann and throw that blowhard liberal in the dumpster where he belongs! The rats can have him!
