Dear Keith Olbermann,

You are turning into a joke.  You emulate your arch-enemy, Bill O'Reilly.  The only difference between you and him is that he is conservative, and you are liberal.  I just can't stand to watch your show anymore.  You should try to talk about items that are in the news or political issues that are important to peoples' lives.  You might consider commenting on how the candidates' views differ from one another and how this translates into whom you or others support in the upcoming election.

Instead, tonight for example, you dedicated nearly an entire show to trashing Hillary Clinton for her comment about the length of the campaign and for invoking the assasination of Robert Kennedy.

According to a news story by your own network, "Robert Kennedy Jr., son of the slain senator, said in a statement, 'It is clear from the context that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June.'"
 
So, how is this an issue, instead of a waste of my time?

      Keith Olbermann jumped the shark when he attacked Geraldine Ferraro. In his latest outrage against Hillary Clinton, he jumped the shark and it reach up and bit off an appendage when he sailed over.

      Paul Krugman's "Divided They Stand" (NYTimes, May 26, 2008) says all that needs to be said about the hysterical phony-scandal mongering.

      I pray that Rachel Maddow passes up on the opportunity to play Laura Ingram, Michele Malkin, Jane Hall to Olbermann's O'Reilly.

      The real difference between Keith Olberman and Bill O'Reilly is the Keith Olberman gives the facts.
