26. Who do we write to to get him back on "News"

as well as sports.

He'd fit on CNN in something like "Crossfire" where it's okay to argue, but that's about the only place he could hold a job on CNN. But MSNBC is the perfect place, their ratings are not that good, and Keith would only help.

I don't Twitter or Like. I hate them programs. But if I did use them, that would be the place to start a movement to get him back in the News on MSNBC.

Maybe you folks could start something over there (other than arguments) and see if being a pest over Olbermann meets with success.

I wonder what companies would be the best to email about sponsoring a program of his . . .
