Rick Kaplan: Contents under pressure
 

Keith Olbermann

Rick Kaplan has enough to worry about (read: Don Imus, Tucker Carlson, Rita Cosby .. can we stop now?) without crowd favorite Keith Olbermann raising his blood pressure. Such concerns, however, didn't stop the MSNBC prez from giving the Counterdowner a public lashing immediately after he signed off on Monday night.

Olbermann shared with viewers his own tales of health problems stemming from smoking during his Peter Jennings on-air memorial moment, including such gems as "spitting globs of myself into a garbage can." Kaplan ran downstairs onto the studio set as the show wrapped and berated Olbermann in front of the crew, even after the shocked Keith suggested moving to a private location.

Kaplan screamed he didn't care if his 8pm anchor came into work the next day, which may have been a good programming move — if he were talking to Tucker Carlson.
