The Olbermann factor

The MSNBC maverick gives Salon the countdown on his anti-Bush orations, battling with Bill O'Reilly, and the nauseating truth about cable news.

    I want to love Countdown...

    ...but the pacing of the show drives me nuts. As far as I can tell I don't have ADD, but this show seems designed for 10-second attention spans.

    What is particularly frustrating about this is the way it trims back and hems in Olbermann's brilliance. I'm sure I'm not the only one starved for his brand of deeply intelligent take-no-prisoners commentary. But if Countdown is the only way to get Keith, I will continue to starve. It is literally nerve-wracking to sit through your show, Keith. Do you have the clout by now to change the format?
