Olbermann OUT at MSNBC
 I saw Comcast got the approval to buy NBC the other day. Looks like the adults are back in charge...Keith Olbermann is leaving MSNBC and has announced that Friday's "Countdown" show will be his last. Countdown's at "zero", Olbermann. Time to blast off. Clean out your desk. Security will escort you out. Now, Olbermann! NOW!!! MSNBC issued a statement Friday that it had ended its contract with the the controversial host, with no further explanation. Sorry about that, folks.We couldn't find a suitable synonym for "douchebag". "MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors," the network said. Ah, Ye Olde "Don't let the door hit ye in the arse" statement... Olbermann hosted the network's top-rated show, but his combative liberal opinions often made him a target of critics. Let's hope he'll now be the target of drunk high school kids at the Mickey D's drive through window on Friday nights. "Hey, Mr. Big Shot! Where's my friggin fries!!" Olbermann did not say why he was leaving. Sound like he didn't have much of a choice... The host apologized to fans -- but not to the network. Yeah, I'm sure they're heartbroken at the network...
