"Huh? Ted is blaming Bush for Olbermann losing his job at ESPN. " Must have missed that post. "He's claiming Olbermann actually wanted to move to MSNBC because (a) sportscasting, in Ted's opinion, is a dead-end job, " I saw that one. He did leave ESPN for MSNBC. But, as he explains it, he couldn't handle the pressures at ESPN. salon.com "(b) Bush supposedly motivated Olbermann to dive into politics." Well, he was pretty non-political before. He left MSNBC when his show basically became dominated by the Lewinsky scandal. Now that could be he was a rabid Clintonite, but when he had a column on Salon, he didn't write much at all about politics. Mostly he wrote about other things, despite it being in the post-9/11 period. It wasn't until after his return to MSNBC and the debacle that we call Katrina that he started to take Bush to task. So there is some reason to think that Ted's assertion has some truth behind it.
