Keith Olbermann 'arrogant,' 'immature,' Current court filing says

Al Gore's Current TV is blasting back at fired host Keith Olbermann.

((snip))

"[H]e arrogantly and falsely calls 'cheap' the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored, given him the largest studio and custom-designed set on which he had ever worked, and paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies because none of the previous seven were able to meet his patrician standards for how to drive him around New York City," the papers say.

I’m just sad that the Ben Affleck impersonation of Olbermann on SNL has been scrubbed. It was beyond hilarious — indescribably funny!

“the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored, given him the largest studio and custom-designed set on which he had ever worked, and paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies “

You might as well plead “Not Guilty by reason of stupidity”

Neither could any of his so-called “girlfriends,” most of whom were half his age. Maybe they were too mature for him.

Olbermann 'arrogant,' 'immature,'

Madam Madcow should be taking notes.

"...and paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies because none of the previous seven were able to meet his patrician standards for how to drive him around New York City..."

Let me guess, he wanted to be driven around the City in his birthday suit.

"...Current, which has roughly 68 million subscribers but very low ratings."

Shouldn't this be more like 6-8 million subscribers? 68 sounds a bit high to me.

I just watched it on NBC.com. Pretty funny.

Have you ever met anyone who admitted watching Current TV? I haven’t. Current TV viewers are like Yetis; I don’t believe they exist.

[muawiyah]

So, anyone know if we are supposed to root for Olbermann against the Algore, or vice versa?

[Jonty30]

I don’t think Glenn Beck has 68 million subscribers and his estimated revenue projections is about 40 million.

Unless some cable companies make Current mandatory in their subscriber packages, it’s probably not even 6-8 ,million.

mutual total destruction...like egging on two people in a fight-

paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies because none of the previous seven were able to meet his patrician standards for how to drive him around New York City.

Proving that Olberman is simply your typical Limousine Liberal Hypocritical One Percenter.

"Cut it out, Guy!" "Why are you being so tense?"

Self, read the whole thread!

[riverdawg]

Hilarious.

[prairiebreeze]

I’ve maintained all along that Olberman will soon discover that he’s brought a knife to a gun fight in going up against Al Gore.

[South40]

I have a family member who once gave me grief because I watched Sean Hannity; he said Hannity was a propagandist who spewed right-wing hate. He said this even though he was a regular viewer of Olbermann's show on MSNBC.

Liberals are nothing if not hypocrites.

"Have you ever met anyone who admitted watching Current TV?"

No, and I never met anyone who admitted to voting for Bill Clinton either.
