Portions Of The Netroots Are Betrayed

I see that Keith Olbermann is not a favorite of some people on the other side of the partisan divide. Of course, when Olbermann goes ballistic on Republicans, that's fine and good. It's just when he goes ballistic on Hillary Clinton that there is a problem.
Perhaps the moral of this story is not to cast your lot with someone who has a history of being exceedingly temperamental in the first place. It may be fun when the fire and brimstone are directed towards others--however unfair those attacks may be--but when it comes to dealing with people like Keith Olbermann, eventually even his allies get singed.
People at NBC must really miss Tim Russert. He would always provide interesting and dispassionate analysis in addition to evincing a pure and undiluted love for the political process. Now they are stuck with the likes of Olbermann and Chris Matthews--blowhards who substitute rage and fury for intellect and reason. I can't believe that the effect on the quality of NBC's political coverage will be anything less than utterly disastrous.
As for Olbermann's onetime allies who now feel betrayed by him, well, they deserve what they get.
