OLBERMANN ATTACKS: Al Gore's Network Is A Penny-Pinching, Incompetent Clown Show
Business Insider ^ | 4/1/12 | Henry Blodget

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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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