    She's a Rhodes scholar, what does she have to be angry about?

    Maybe he's gotten away from it in recent years, but I remember seeing him do it in the past. Certainly he's not as opinionated as Cavuto or as unhinged as Gibson, though.

    And Boom70, was the "angry lesbian" comment necessary? Stay classy, man.

    No.

    You are simply a misanthrope.

    On the list of Angriest Pundits on U.S. Television, Maddow surely isn't even in the top 10. But, hey, the man had the chance to use an "angry lesbian" stereotype, and he wasn't going to let reality stand in his way. Gotta admire the perseverance, if nothing else.

    One thing about the Olbermann 9/11 screed....

    He was right.

    It's embarrassing the Republicans are trying to capitalize on this national tragedy.

    I did think she was trying pretty hard to sound like Olberman on her debut show. But hell congrats to her on getting her own show. It's nice to see a woman promoted in this business. Too many stiff white men running things. I disagree with her on a majority of issues, but it's a different voice. I'd rather watch her nightly than Olberwellian.

    So which is it, the fact that he didn't respond to yet another Fox News PR department missive planted in Page Six (and you are absolutely wrong that he addresses each one) or that it must be true because you know people who know people who can't spell Bellevue?

    The question isn't his general mental health, which I have no idea about and therefore have no reason to "accept". It is the fact that you said that there were "many sources" for the assassination allegation. And so far, there aren't any except the gossip column of a Murdoch owned paper which is obsessed with Olbermann and seems to only cite "insiders" or unnamed sources on most items involving him.
