Olbermann is the one who should be apologizing for these disrespectful comments. Fortunately, Olbermann is on MSNBC, so only about 100 people watch the network each night. Eventually Olbermann will be booted out, as MSNBC strives to get more viewership, which it is failing at miserably.

Steve,
You think that Olbermann's being disrespectful to the President? Personally, I think the President has been far wosre than disrespectful to the American people! He sent our children to fight a war to get back at a tin-plated dictator who tried to kill his daddy. What about the unfiniished business in Afganistan? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? It's NOT a civil war? He's driven up budget deficits with his idiotic tax breaks for the rich. Don't get me started on his global warming stance. And about a thousand other topics I could mention.
As for ratings, Olbermann's are about 75% of his main competition on Fox and have been steadily gaining over the past year. I don't believe that MSNBC will be cancelling his show anytime soon.
