Why, they tell me, some folks get the big bucks. Terrific short term upside. Then again, since Mr. Olbermann HAS no TRUE life's work other than screaming like a little girl, who knows, maybe he did it on purpose to get some chill time. The money he receives from other avenues of employment isn't close to what PMS-DNC sends his way, but in real world not Hollywood cash, is nonetheless impressive.fitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14950915.post-40073506909472352932010-11-07T10:06:15.000-05:002010-11-07T10:06:15.000-05:00If he is suspended without pay, does that mean he ...If he is suspended without pay, does that mean he can't get another job as a pundit because he's still under contract? If so, that's dead wrong, no matter how foul he was as a pundit. He deserves to be fired, but not held prisoner to a contract.<br /><br />John, were those contributions Olbermann's personal contributions, or did MSNBC need a scapegoat for getting caught making their own contributions?Crotalusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14950915.post-87385415909619635162010-11-06T20:51:20.000-04:002010-11-06T20:51:20.000-04:00And by the by...since Comcast is acquiring PMS-DNC...And by the by...since Comcast is acquiring PMS-DNC it might very well be their way of flushing the toilet before getting the keys to the condo.

His opinion is just as good as anyone else's, were it not for the fact that Obermann has been such a pain in everyone's ass his bosses most likely felt it was time to at least make it appear that propriety was being served. Sending him off on a paid vacation is something different. A some thing that's far too easily checked for people with juice.
