Keith Olbermann Re: Current TV: “I’m In Charge”

KEITH Olbermann on MSNBC shedding him:
"I don't really know why." Such reluctance disappeared when discussing his new job. "I start beginning June. Al Gore's Current TV, station 103 in Manhattan. My producers and staff suggest I even veer a little to the middle politically. No cut in salary. In fact, I'm in charge. I'm the news director. So I'll stay on one hour longer, but I'm in charge of that, too. If we're long, then I'm on a little more and the next show's a little short."
A ridiculous question. So, Keith, hon, what if you run dry?
"Oh, please. How could I? Bob and Ray from the old days are to blame. In 1974, they suggested I try political humor."
