Keith Olbermann, as you probably know, is moving to Current TV, which boasts Al Gore as its co-founder. It’s a curious move considering that about seven people have ever even heard of Current TV. Of course, I jest…but not really. So what is Current TV and why on earth is Olbermann going there?

Olbermann was never really on top in the cable news world, usually falling well behind FOXNews and others in the ratings game, but he was a legitimate draw and an impact player. Brash, controversial, loud, some might say annoying and maddening, he was, at least, relevant.
