Olbermann? Meltdown? Nah, Couldn't Be

Time to change the name of the show that hardly anyone watches? Hmm... it's possible.

One has to enjoy the red on red, leftard vs. leftard aspect of this story. Unless you're a leftard, of course.

If you regularly tune in to Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, you may remember that Olbermann was mysteriously absent from the show for three days at the end of April. But Olbermann didn't just "have the night off," as David Shuster, his fill-in, said on the air three evenings in a row. According to a source inside MSNBC, it was a bizarre temper tantrum on Olbermann's part that led him to storm off the set in protest. Even stranger: The drama was all Ben Affleck's fault.

Props to Norseman.
