OLBERMANN ATTACKS: Al Gore's Network Is A Penny-Pinching, Incompetent Clown Show

Keith Olbermann's team has wasted no time getting their version of his latest network departure into the public realm.

First, Olbermann himself exploded on Twitter less than an hour after getting fired, accusing Current TV bosses Al Gore and Joel Hyatt of being incompetent and dishonest and vowing to sue them.

And now, Olbermann's team have apparently spent considerable time with Howard Kurtz of the Daily Beast, showing Kurtz a trail of emails designed to prove their case.

This aggressive promotion effort has, thus far, been effective: Two days after the show host was canned, it's Al Gore's TV network, Current TV, that is on the defensive.

And since Olberboy was a star on that network, does that make Olderboy the HEAD CLOWN?

[Oshkalaboomboom]

I hope he does sue so they can both waste millions on legal fees.

But it's still Bush's fault.

[Pearls Before Swine]

“... a penny-pinching, incompetent clown show...”

Of course. Look who they hire as anchors—first you (Olbermann), then Spitzer. Spitzer’s network star power is a proven zero, so who’s next—Anthony Weiner? By their fruits shall ye know them.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

That’s like Goering calling Goebbels a stooge.

[headstamp 2]

Burn it all down Keith.

Tee Hee

[MAexile]

I didn’t really need Olbermann to tell me that.

[mardi59]

There’s nothing better than watching liberals eat their own.

[kentramsay]

This is like the Iran-Iraq war. Ammunition and WMD should be supplied to both sides.

[ponygirl]

Sounds like Olbermann has a butthurt.

[Steely Tom]

There’s nothing better than watching liberals eat their own.

Hearing the lamentations of their women is OK too, as long as you can fast forward through the boring parts.

[Aria]

Emphasis on “penny pinching” I’m sure. Olbermann is used to the clown show - being the head clown himself.

[dfwgator]

There’s nothing better than watching liberals eat their own. Hearing the lamentations of their women is OK too

You mean, "Hearing the lamentations of their men...."

[dps.inspect]

HA! ha, ha.... hahahahahahahahahah!

[GOPJ]

Does anyone watch that network? Anyone ever?

[tomkat]

There’s nothing better than watching liberals eat their own.

Well, I can think of a couple things offhand .. but your point's well taken ;-)

[Sic Parvis Magna]

When you've been fired for 4 different networks (ESPN, FOX Sports, MSNBC and Current), the problem obviously isn't the networks.

I pity the next set of fools that hire this insufferable jackanape.

[ElkGroveDan]

[mikrofon]

Time for the sequel?

[mardi59]

LOL :>p

[tomkat]

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I wonder where Olbermann will go now? Looks like he has burned himself out on cable TV. Maybe he and Charlie Sheen can start their own network? I guess Liberal talk Radio?

[linn37]

Sit down Olberman you overpaid punk and enjoy the unemployment line.

[tomkat]

Since they'll both have time on their hands, maybe he'd like to be Rosie's wife

(sorry, that may have been an indelible visual suggestion)

[PoloSec]

Think Olberman is bad, wait till you see NotSoSharpton, if MSNBC ever gets the guts to dump him.

The Dynamic Duo, Algore (aka The Manbearpig) & Joel Hyatt (schlock lawyer)! A white version of “The Reverends.”

Al Gore's Network Is A Penny-Pinching, Incompetent Clown Show

NOW With One Less Clown!

[MtBaldy]

Exactly.

The first time I realized there was a Current network I was channel surfing and came across Cenk Uygur and the Young Turks. My first reaction was, “Who would give that clown an actual TV show?” I researched it and found out AlGore was behind it and it all made sense, or nonsense if you prefer.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

The only time I ever watched Current TV was when I accidentally stopped on it and there was a program about the bowel habits of the people of Pakistan and India.

Nothing so invigorating as watching from a boat the people on shore taking dumps in the river and splashing nasty river water upon their butts.

[Gaffer]

Says the Headliner Clown. Love it!

[verga]

I love how they declined in credibility as his career progressed.

[OpusatFR]

Maybe Olbie has a good gripe. I’m having visions of the Klown Kars from Ringling Bros. used by the Gore network as their limos.

But then again, how would Olbie distinguish what clowns look like? His own mirror would only reflect his own red nose and greasepaint along with a wildly ridiculous wig.

In fact, the rest of the Klown College alumni on the networks can’t see their own silliness and stupidity. They all fit right into that itty bitty little car just like their leftist ideology or rather, idiotology.

Maybe just a little bit less so, now that the Olber-moron is gone.

[JimRed]

By their fruits shall ye know them.

But at least Spitzer and Weiner are hetero. The Olber-moron is suspect in the fruit department.

I don't think any of them are playing with a normal basket of produce.

[Past Your Eyes]

It’s hard to believe that he didn’t fit right in.

[DaxtonBrown]

Eating popcorn waiting for Al Gore to be named Worst Person In Universe.

[Beagle8U]

” so who’s next—Anthony Weiner? By their fruits shall ye know them.”

If fruits are the standard, my guess is Barney Frank would be next.

[Beagle8U]

“There’s nothing better than watching liberals eat their own.”

THAT is a visual I could have done without!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Is this news to anyone?

[Psycho_Bunny]

To prove his case, all Olbermann has to say is “They hired me, didn’t they?”

[Psycho_Bunny]

“Basically, Olbermann accuses Current TV of being cheap and incompetent.”

That’s the only reason you got hired there, retard.

[NonValueAdded]

Olberdork may have a point ... imagine if your car service pulled up in one of these:

[douginthearmy]

You mean ideological socialists don’t make good businessmen? Shocking!

[chris_bdba]

Well then I guess he fit in really well there....LOL

[Terry Mross]

Giving him $50 million over five years proves two things.

1) They really are imcompetent clowns

2) They had to pinch pennies. Pennies were all they had left.
