Keith Olbermann, former host of MSNBC’s ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ is no stranger to battles with the talking heads.
From his spirited — but mostly friendly — bet with Fox News’ Sean Hannity to make good on Hannity’s promise to be waterboarded to prove it wasn’t torture to his pet names for right-wing pundits Ann “Coulter(geist)” and Glenn “Lonesome Rhodes” Beck, Olbermann wasn’t afraid to step on toes.
His shots at Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly were legendary and led to a series of back and forths that made the battles between the Black Spy and the White Spy from MAD Magazine look like a backyard snowball fight.
However, nothing matches the heated shouting matches and unnecessary vitriolic rhetoric than the debates he’s had with his former bosses. And while his latest departure from a TV screen near you may feel like a shock, it’s not the first time he’s had to suddenly clean out his desk and jump ship.
