All right, Where is Keith Olbermann?
MIA for 2 weeks or so. Is it contract time?

13. Oh not even close...
what's it been... two weeks? I get 3 plus another from the week I didn't take last year this year.

Shrubbo was off around 1/3 of his time in office which for what it's worth probably saved thousands of lives. It seems like every time that dim prick occupied Al's house in DC he was causing some kind of death and maiming.

3. Perhaps it's vacation time?
He is not a machine. He is not a utility. He works a bit more than the hour you see him on air.
He, like mere mortals, needs vacation time.

4. What they've said (vacation) I assume...
Otherwise, I don't think Rachel Maddow would've been so flip in trying to get Howard Dean to host Countdown tonight and tomorrow night... and that her suggestion wouldn't've ended with Wednesday if there was some sort of open ended issue at issue.

So I'd expect him to be back on Thursday... ;)

8. Don't miss him at all....
Just like I could not watch hannity during the Bush administration, I cannot watch Olbermann during the obama administration.

It has become a druel and pick on fest, and It's is not in the least bit entertaining.

These are the people that "represent us" and they turn themselves into a joke.
