If he took it to another level , wouldn't that make him a pioneer? The essence of good writing is avoiding cliche. Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann never passed that simple test. Watch Olbermann on MSNBC. He is full of stock phrases and worn out analogies. They are both boring as hell. If I weren't sure that his absence from T.V. would be short-lived, I would say good-riddance.
