We lost track of Keef after he went to Current, mainly because we can’t get Current in Sandy Eggo, and last we checked, the podcast version only contained clips.

And, heck, we haven’t been above throwing spitballs at him on occasion.

“In addition to executive producing and hosting a new nightly primetime news and commentary show, Keith Olbermann will also serve as the company’s Chief News Officer and will have an equity stake in Current Media. The new show will air weeknights in primetime beginning later in 2011.” [Current TV]

“Liberals want Keith Olbermann to run for retiring Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-Conn.) seat. The ploy to coax the former MSNBC host into the Democratic Senate primary was hatched by activists attending a conference in Pennsylvania over the weekend.” [The Hill]
