Olbermann finishes last, one night after a vitriolic, despicable rant that crossed the only lines he had left. Coincidence?

Oh please - everyone knows when Olbermann is going to present a special ‘commentary’, which raises his ratings that night; the next night they return to normal.
Comment by Arthur — November 3, 2006 @ 9:09 pm
Not true. He didn’t do one Tuesday or Wednesday and his numbers were huge (for him). And Olbermann may have finished last but his numbers were pretty good. It’s just everyone else was bigger…

Nice try, Spud.

Tuesday and Wednesday was all the Libs feeling depressed over the Kerry comment so they flocked to Dobermann to make them feel better and assure them they didn’y lose the elections.

Oh well. I guess it was that hideous green coat KO wore Thursday. Though I did wish the “Modern Day Thomas Beckett”, another title he has given himself added to the “Modern Day Edward R Murrow” (gee, it’s a tough job being three people), would just start screaming like Howard Dean. But, since karma does indeed bite, I guess that won’t happen.

Spud,
Olbermann was in fifth place. That is awful. This pre-election cycle bumps everyone’s numbers. Olbermann may enjoy his crazy “specious comments,” but in the end he loses normal viewers and is left with his angry kooky base of belligerent leftists.
