Keith Olbermann tells TMZ, he's furious with Al Gore for firing him from Current TV -- claiming, "I will be filing [a lawsuit] against them."
As we previously reported, Current just fired Olbermann from his show "Countdown" -- and Al Gore released a statement, claiming Keith was disrespectful and disloyal to viewers.
Now, Keith is firing back -- "It goes almost without saying that the claims against me implied in Current's statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently."
Keith also says, "The truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt [Current co-founder] will come out."
Keith adds, joining Current TV was a "foolish" mistake.
Keith suggests there had been an internal war raging between him and Gore for more than a year -- though he doesn't go into specifics.
"I'd like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV.

IIRC it was estimated at one time that Al’s fakery made him worth $1 billion, I don’t think cash flow is a personal issue with him.
They deserve each other!
“disrespectful”, yeah
but “disloyal”? What does that mean - Olberman had lunch with a Republican or Fox News exec?
Well, since it looks like I’m not gonna get to see an all-out, four-way shooting war between Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuala any time soon.
This fight will have to do.
That’s poetic justice if I’ve ever seen one. I’m sure Olbermann was salivating just a few weeks ago at the thought of Russ Limbaugh getting fired from talk radio- in the end it was him who got sacked. Heh heh...
Let us also not forget that Algore sits on the board of Apple. His stock holdings have been very, very good to him.
Rock-’Em, Sock-’Em Retards.
“Pick a cheek”, says Gore: “I’m half-assed!”
OK, I made that up.
-Like going to a Tyson/Spinks fight. You don’t care who wins as long as there is lots of blood.—
===I have to disagree - In this fight, I’m hoping that they both lose.===
I hope it lasts more than 91 seconds.
This is news to me as I haven’t heard anything about Olbermann* for months. He should be grateful for being fired, at least the publicity over being fired his first ... and maybe his last in a long time.
* Not that it matters but I can’t even remember how his name is spelled.
NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC,etc, and now CURRENT TV...
...Do these putz pukes really think they can rule
the viewership world by thinning the liberal TV
broadcast soup?
And Rush Limbaugh lives on as strong as ever.
Tee hee hee hee.
Looks like Keith was watching this movie when he made that statement....”presently”...
Trump has got to get the rights on this trial. It is too important for Court TV. It will make millions for Trump...maybe billions when you count international sales and midnight movies where people bring props like on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Mommie Dearest” (”NO WIRE HANGERS!”) People can bring in poodles wearing t-shirts that say "Crazed Sex Poodle."
Olbermann’s career dies.
Again.
Hang it up, Keith. You need to take another career path. Heaven only knows what on Earth it could be.
OK, I made that up."
You done good, pingman!
