Current TV dumps KO

I'll give Olbermann his due for being intelligent.
But he's just as bad as those against whom he rails, if not worse. Rules and standards, especially of the double variety, don't apply to him, not in his mind.
He's someone I don't miss seeing on TV.

When does he finally fade away into obscurity? Now? Because that would be swell.

 

Ok. What is Current TV?

 

It's the latest thing from Al Gore, inventor of the Internets.

 

Funny that he liked to call Glenn Beck "Lonesome Rhodes," after the character in the movie "A Face in the Crowd."

And yet, consider these lines, directed at Rhodes (Andy Griffith) late in the movie by Walter Matthau:

Suppose I tell you exactly what’s going to happen to you?
You'll be back on television, only it won't be quite the same as it was before.
After a cooling-off period, someone will say...
"Why don't we try him again in an inexpensive format? People's memories aren't too long."

And in a way, he'd be right. Some people will forget, some won't.

You'll have a show. Maybe not the best hour, or top 10.

Maybe not even in the top 20.

You'll have a show, it just won't be quite the same as it was before.

Then a couple of new fellas will come along... and soon a lot of your fans will be flocking around them.

Then, one day, someone will ask
"Whatever happened to ... what’s his name? You know, the one who was so big...
the number one fella a couple of years ago.
He was famous, how can we forget a name like that?"

 

Maybe Dan Patrick could hire him.
Of course, Dan Patrick would then have to fire him.

 

The Al Gore Internet thing is more tired than Olbermann's act.

 

Can "win win" and current tv be used in the same sentence?

 

Straight hetero missionary is 'deviant?' Huh.

 

Send up a flare when Olbermann is on the cover of Time.

 

He wanted to leave his socks on! (And, didn't want to wear a condom, which I understand more than keeping on the socks, though probably not with a working girl.)

 

Honestly, is the cover of Time a big deal anymore?

It's becoming perilously close to a tree falling in a forest, with no one there to hear it.

 

I was noting the Lonesome Rhodes comparison.
