Keith "Uberdork" Olbermann is running wild again at MSNBC. Network higher-ups put the kibosh on Donny Deutsch's weeklong stint hosting a 3 p.m. show called "America the Angry" after Olbermann "went ballistic and threw a fit" when he was featured in a segment on Tuesday, sources said. "After Olbermann saw the clip, he started freaking out and called Phil [MSNBC head Phil Griffin] to say he wasn't going to do his show unless Deutsch was taken out," says an insider. "MSNBC knows he's nuts, but they kowtow to him." In the segment, radio talk host Hugh Hewitt referred to Olbermann as one of the "biggest hatemongers on television," to which Deutsch diplomatically responded, "I'm not taking the side of either one." A source said, "Donny is p - - - ed. He can't believe this happened. He didn't even say anything." An MSNBC rep denied that Olbermann called Griffin but had no other comment.

He's one of The Tribe, had a small show (The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch) on CNBC, was at MSNBC for a week until he got canned for not carrying Keith Olbermann's water. I saw the clip in question and he didn't say anything out of line.
