Video: Keith Olbermann Abruptly Announces He’s Leaving MSNBC!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Seriously: WTF??!? This is a terrible look for MSNBC. Olbermann leaving is a huge blow for the network, IMHO. I love Laurence O’Donnell as much as the next liberal-leaning guy (pause), but he’s not Olbermann, at least not yet! They better pray Rachel Maddow doesn’t bolt too ‘cos, if she does, it’ll seriously be a wrap for them.

So much for bringing a more genteel and civil tone to our news media and politics….
