Olbermann getting heat from his fans. Takes ball. Goes home.

Apparently, after ganging up on Obama the other night after the president’s speech, The Keith Olbermann accidently ran into criticism from his fans on the Daily Kos;

“Can’t verify”… “haven’t checked”…It can’t be verified because it’s nonsense, and it wasn’t checked because nobody bothered. Unfortunately there’s been a lot of this here lately.

The Cornell Ag School grad was peeved that anyone on the left would give him grief, even when they thinks he’s wrong.

If I can understand people’s frustration with seeing a speech by a Democratic president criticized in a venue such as mine, why is it impossible for some people here to accept my frustration about the speech? You don’t agree with me, fine. You don’t want to watch because you don’t agree with me, fine. But to accuse me, after five years of risking what I have to present the truth as I see it, of staging something for effect, is deeply offensive to me and is an indication of what has happened here.

“Deeply offensive”. He just admitted that he only presents “the truth as I see it” – as if there’s a different truth for each of it, instead one actual truth for everyone.

So, since you can’t accept Keith as he is, he’s taking his Daily Kos ball and going home;

You want Cheerleaders? Hire the Buffalo Jills. You want diaries with conspiracy theories, go nuts. If you want this site the way it was even a year ago, let me know and I’ll be back.

Keith, didn’t you hear? They don’t want you back if you’re going to say things they don’t want to hear.

I’m glad it’s not just the Right blogs falling apart in the Time of Obama.
