17. Actually, that'd get ratings. If ratings is what they want, that would suck in a LOT of eyeballs.

AND get a LOT of tongues wagging every week. Including the haters, but fuck it. It would be the talk of the day EVERY Monday, and maybe seeping into Tuesday and/or beyond if he were to piss off enough people. What the NBC brass wants and needs is RATINGS. He's controversial as hell and a lightning rod for tumult and turbulence. And it'd get ratings. Big ones. Bank on it. Just because of the hornet's nest it'd stir up, and the media coverage, besides the hornet's nest HE would be stirring up. If I were programming that show, that's what I'd do. And if not Olbermann, then Rachel Maddow. Time for WHOLESALE change for that show. A WHOLESALE change in direction. You can't just slap some different colored lipstick on the same pig. You have to replace the pig itself. And NOT merely with another pig. Preferably with a different animal. Maybe a tiger? A bobcat? A wolverine? A jackal? Even a hyena maybe? Or hell, forget the quadrupeds. How 'bout a raptor of some sort? They can't just shift gears in the car. They have to get an entirely different car.
