Olbermann & Matthews Lusting After Russert's Job?


Keith Olbermann was enraged yesterday about a Page 6 report at the New York Post charging that Keith and Chris Matthews are lusting after Tim Russert's job:

TIM Russert’s body wasn’t even cold in the ground before MSNBC anchors Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann started jockeying for his job, sources claim. According to our spy, “Chris, with his loud voice, was going over a pitch for Tim’s job. He was saying, ‘You know, Tim’s thing was this, and my thing is that.’ It was unbelievably tacky.” . . . Meanwhile, Matthews’ MSNBC cable cohort Olbermann, who was also at the memorial, is “threatening to quit if he isn’t installed as Russert’s replacement,” another insider said. “I know, it sounds ludicrous, but, then, Keith Olbermann is ludicrous.”

Keith Olbermann threatening to quit his job if he doesn't get his way? Who could believe that the man - who accused Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of hoping and praying for the assassination of her opponent - could possibly be guilty of such pettiness?
