What's with Olbermann?

[COLGATE4]

I (like many DUer's) am an avid fan of KO's, and so was tremendously relieved when his show reappeared on Current TV. I notice now however that he's gone back to prolonged absences, using sit-in hosts. While I like David Schuster and am happy to see him back onb TV after the screwing he got from MSNBC, I really watch the show to watch Keith - not Schuster. What's up with Keith?

1. I don't know but

I'm watching Dancing with the Stars tonight and checking out of DU while I do. Just need a break.

4. Perhaps

That is what Keith is doing too. LOL

6. Sorry, Rachel Maddow, I won't be watching you tonight,

as I will be watching Dancing With The Stars so that I can vote for Chaz.

2. I know he has sciatica.

Last time he said he had a flare up. I hope it's nothing worse than that, but I know it is very painful.

3. Probably still in L.A.

He was in town to appear on "Real Time" on Friday. I understand he's on Craig Ferguson's show tonight.

8. Well he needs to be there for the #occupywallstreet #ourwallstreet

protesters in NY. No other media is giving it the attention it deserves.

Come on Keith, save the self promotion for another time.

5. He has explained he has a back problem. I think we are lucky to get whatever we can from him.

[spirit of wine]

7. In other words

He'll be back when his back is back.

9. I read he was on Craig Ferguson tonight. That's in LA, right? nt

[Bluenorthwest]

10. Prolonged? He's missing three shows.

The job of promoting Current TV is also important, and as they look to make more hours of news coverage, they will need to have some talent on hand, no? So Keith gets a weekend in LA, gets the attention of millions of potential Current viewers, and the kid gets to work his chops. Everybody wins....

11. I'm sure they are "testing" Shuster. Current has big plans.

Relax a bit people, KO is doing his part in building Current TV.
