I was never much of an Olbermann fan. He was always really bombastic and pushy and not really my cup of tea. I get that he was the left's answer to the slew of annoying rightwing pundits, but still.

I'm more of a Maddow man, myself. Sure, she's pretty bias as well, but she's at least quieter and a great deal humbler. Plus she mixes drinks on her show, I mean come on.
