I'm going to watch Olbermann on Wednesday.

I'm pissed off that Olbermann is stopping his "Worst Persons."

If the show is going bad, I will stop watching it.

1. I hope he reconsiders

If the teabaggers take over congress, there are going to be a lot more people deserving daily nominations.

2. His "Special Comment" is a much more potent weapon...

than the played-out "Worst Persons".

3. I love that segment!

Better to jettison 'Oddball' instead...

4. It is a one minute slot in the show?

I am boggled at why you would quit watching it just for that. Hell, Segments 5 and 4 are usually the most useful, except for his rare comments. Though my eight year old will morn. He thought it was funny when Keith let his voice go all strange and said "Worst person in the world."

5. I just sent him an email asking him to reconsider.

Actually, I loved the way he usually mixed the facts with his own brand of humor when presenting that segment. Kind of like Jon Stewart when he goes after outrageous behavior. And yes, I know that Jon is a comic and Keith is not. But then I would argue that Jon has become more that just a comedienne even though he plays that side up when it is convenient for him.

6. I've often found his worst person segment to be more than a bit weak.

Worst Person should be for the truly egregious examples of bad behaviour. Not just general dickishness that happens to come from someone with (generally Republican) name recognition.

Everyone sometimes says stupid things or forwards a clever but inappropriate joke to the wrong list. Everyone has their lampshade moments in life.
