Lefties are already creaming over the thought that the E-ViL Comcast had something to do with NBC sacking Olbermann. Comcast dispells the rumors.

““Comcast has not closed the transaction for NBCU and has no operational control at any of its properties including MSNBC. We pledged from the day the deal was announced that we would not interfere with NBCU’s news operations. We have not & we will not.”

Which leaves the only plausible reason for his ouster being the fact that he’s an ass clown.

UPDATE: Howard Kurtz details the demise.
