She will surely be missed. Countdown was so much better and more peaceful without Keith. Of course I still muted the boring parts, but the parts I did listen to were excellent. And her sense of humor surpasses Keith's by a long shot.
Great job.
Oh, and I did not miss Worst Persons In The World at all.
Are there just no more ballgames for him to attend?
Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible.
They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Lust: that pretty much speaks for itself
Gluttony: eating too much and too expensively
Greed: an excessive materialistic hoarding and manipulating authority to get more than you need
Sloth; unwillingness to care; laziness and indifference
Wrath/Envy: I put these two together because they intertwine with jealousy, hatred and anger towards the one who has more; in Keith's case it would be, "love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs"-Dante
Pride: thinks he's more important and attractive than others;
Dante- "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor"

From Gawker Stalker:
Keith Olbermann
Lexington Ave & 86th St
Jul 8th, 2008 @ 8pm
Last night, sat next to newsman/Bill O'Reilly nemesis Keith Olberman on the 4 train coming home from the Yankees game. He was gently disagreeing with a friend/9-11 conspiracy nut. He got off the 86th Street stop. Disheveled hair and a wild five o'clock shadow

Sounds like the little girl wasn't with him.
Yeah, someone had said that they never go out or they hardly ever go out.
Must be exciting to live with someone you're afraid to be seen with.
Check out the girl's latest. They're letting her sit in the studio with them now.

(Scroll down to "Mortgage Bank Shuts Out Homeowners")
She sure seems to like OD green. That 'blechy' dress she wore for the iPhone piece had an OD green floral print. She's very cute, I'll give her that. Much easier on the eyes than that other blonde with the huge grill that sticks out all over the place.
As for that Gawker bit, for so few words, there were so many things wrong with it. Keith said on Countdown recently that he doesn't have three friends. True, he has two: Joe Torre, and Dan Patrick. Neither one of them was with him on that train. Maybe the "friend" was Katy, but the poster did not wish to say so.
Can you imagine Keith "gently" disagreeing with someone? And on that particular topic? I don't know many people who still buy into the government's conspiracy theory about 9-11, but it saddens me to think that Keith does. I thought he was smarter than that.
Disheveled hair would be sexy for Keith, and who cares about a five o'clock shadow? He's on vacation!
I saw that piece she did in the studio. It wasn't bad. But when she sat down she leaned back to one side slumping. Not very lady-like. But then, I'm really beginning to think there isn't anything lady-like about her.
I'm not so sure Dan Patrick is really that much of a friend. I think Keith has "friendships" with some people but I seriously doubt they go to bbq's together.
And I can't even imagine Keith "gently" disagreeing with himself.
As for the government conspiracy theory about 9/11? I think Keith believes the same thing a lot of people do but he just likes to argue.hehe. Especially if somebody is saying something smarter than what he thought of.
