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?

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

But it's still Bush's fault.

“... 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.

Burn it all down Keith.

Tee Hee

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

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.

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.

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

[dps.inspect]

HA! ha, ha.... hahahahahahahahahah!

[GOPJ]

Does anyone watch that network? Anyone ever?

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.

Time for the sequel?
