[The Limey] – MSNBC has dropped Keith Olbermann. His last show was tonight. Lawrence O’Donnell gets his slot, starting Monday. This is pure spite by the network for his win in November. It is also both deeply unfair and unprovoked. I say this was not resignation it was assisted [...] [The Limey] – In a move that will remodel the landscape of breakfast TV, and certainly its neck-wear, ‘Today Show’ movie critic Gene Shalit has announced he’s retiring from the post.
