Former Vice President Al Gore and Joel Hyatt, the heads of Current TV, have just fired their star anchorman, Keith Olbermann, who previously left MSNBC on bad terms. Gore and Hyatt released a statement saying that “the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers . . . are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.”
According to Talking Points Memo, insiders say Olbermann missed almost half his working days in January and February and insisted on taking an unauthorized vacation day the day before Super Tuesday.
Here is a statement Olbermann just issued. I’d call it going ballistic, albeit in writing:

The only thing that differentiated him from his fellow leftist losers was that he had a better vocabulary. What he said was just as stupid as his fellow travelers, but he said it better ... but of course, that is like two whores discussing the virtues of chastity.

Could be anything with that nut Oberman. Him and Alan Grayson and Lawrence O'Donnell are peas in a pod. Pathetic peas in a pod.
To: STARWISE
I enjoyed his little screed. Seeing him get in a cat fight with Al Gore will be even better.

Does anybody get Current TV? I subscribe to every channel except HBO, Showtime, etc. and the Spanish language ones and don’t have it. Apparently I get OWN, but not in HD.

Fired from Current TV...isn’t that like being thrown out of a basement window?
