He suggested that, "Fox News Channel will never restrain itself from incitement to murder and terrorism, not until it’s profits start to decline, it’s growth stops. So not so much a boycott here, a quarantine. Because this has got to stop." Finally his agricultural education has served him well--he is suggesting a quarantine! As Ann Coulter said in her article about Keith's Cornell education, Keith did benefit from attending the Cornell Ag. School and he"s proven it by suggesting the the quarantine of Fox News. Had Keith not attended the Ag. School at Cornell, he would have no doubt suggested the boycott. Who would have thought it? Olbermann is in a real snit this time.

So I have started calling him Olberstiltskin. Remember the story of Rumpelstiltskin? The ending is that he becomes so enraged that the queen found out his name that..... in his anger he plunged his right foot so deep into the earth that his whole leg went in, and then in rage he pulled at his left leg so hard with both hands that he tore himself in two. See, olbermann's problem is that the man he seems to hate more than any other in the universe is Bill O'Reilly. And Bill O'Reilly is on at the same time olbermann is. And Bill O'Reilly consistently generates about three times olbermann's viewership. This drives olbermann nuts. And he has become increasingly pathological in his on-air hatred of O'Reilly and Fox News (which massively outperforms MSNBC not just in the O'Reilly/olbermann matchup, but throughout prime time and all day. Since olbermann has called O'Reilly pretty much every name in the book, sneered out pretty much every insult he can think of and is still eating O'Reilly's dust, he had to find a way to go even further. And this is where he has now sunk. Shame on MSNBC for allowing, even encouraging, olbermann to behave like an unhinged lunatic. olberstiltskin. It has a nice ring to it. keith olbermann is behaving more and more like Rumpelstiltskin. So I have started calling him Olberstiltskin.
