Keith Olbermann Will Not Go on Vacation When He Has a Chance to Kick Bill O'Reilly's Butt

oreilly.jpgolbermann.jpg

The Countdown host was supposed to take some time off this week — until he found out from Nielsen that he might beat The O'Reilly Factor in the key 25-to54-year-old demographic for the first time in his Countdown's 5-year history. Of course, O'Reilly still has about twice the total audience size of Olbermann, and Laura Ingraham subbed for Bill on Friday, but is that what advertisers care about? Or MSNBC, when it gets bragging rights and gets to throw more stones at News Corp.?

    Maybe KO should take some time off to pay his back taxes. How many judgments does he have against him? Four or five? Pay up, deadbeat.

    Keef has N-E-V-E-R beat Billo in the actual ratings.

    Keef sometimes "wins" in the advertising "demo" of 24-54 year olds (about 4-6 times a year).

    Keef routinely comes in third place behind re-runs of "Deal Or No Deal" on CNBC!

    Even the left-wing libs at Time, Newsweek, LA Times, The Nation, have written how the predictable schtick of this over the top hack has gotten old!

    Nikki,

    As the folks who broke the tax story, we at Olbermann Watch would love to hear how "this whole tax bit is helping [Olbermann]."

    I am sure this ought to be good!
