Just when you were beginning to think Keith Olbermann was completely out of touch with reality, he goes and makes sense.
While interviewing new MSNBC host Ed Schultz, Olbermann pigeonholed all the other role players at the network.
“Alright,” Olbermann said, “you’ve got the conundrum all of us have as this thing gets more and more successful. The show’s got to look like a relative of all the other shows right before it and right after it. But not too much. I mean, Chris is the political inside-baseball guy. Rachel is the affable, charming policy wonk. I’m the a-hole. What are you going to be?”
We don’t really know which is more surprising: Olbermann acknowledging his assholishness or his belief (despite ratings evidence to the contrary) that MSNBC is getting “more and more successful.”
