His getting fired from the low-rated Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC has done nothing to temper his famed humility. Now he returns to the even more obscure Current TV, where his show will be called-wait for it-Countdown With Keith Olbermann.
He promises the finest in broadcast journalism with an fresh staff of people to abuse with his juvenile outbursts.
A breathless nation awaits. Considering he's rehashing the same old same old, you'd think his employer would get the name straight.
