Again, Olbermann has a traumatic head injury. He ran into a steel girder while catching a subway in 1989. It explains his angry, temperamental and sometimes violent behavior. However, nobody wants to talk about it. It’s actually sad because he will always be this way,

It will be interesting to see where Olberwomann lands his next job. Anyone who hires him, knowing his prima-donna ways, will get what they deserve.

This “breakup” could provide some great material for yet another gay sitcom on some soon to be obsolete network channel.

If Algore ever woke up in a sweat, he’d probably leap out of bed like a kid on Christmas—”It’s here! it’s here! Global warming has arrived!”

——Did Algore wake up——

I think no one here really understands

That is not really unusual because mr Olderman didn’t understand either. The Gore network is not cable news, it is pretend TV with pretend ratings. The big bucks contract was a pretend contract.

In a pretend contract with a pretend network, and pretend ratings, there is no equity or enforcement. The remedy against breech is a lawsuit that can not be won and even if won worthless........ it is all pretend. It is a refuge for losers who must have place to go during the day and tell people about at cocktail parties.

Poor Mr Olderman........ he now must face the bitterest of truths........ he has failed at a pretend network

There is forshadowing in the tale. Spitzer followed Olderman and will soon be pretending relevance at the pretend network. Hank Greenburg’s revenge against him is unending

The Gore-Olbermann breakup definitely has all the makings of a gay sitcom.

“Where Current management viewed Olbermann as a chronic complainer who had clashed with the bosses before leaving his previous jobs at MSNBC and ESPN, the liberal commentator came to believe that he had joined a rinky-dink operation...”

Both statements are correct.

Metrosexual purse fight!

Makes me remember the Dom DeLuise scene in Blazing Saddles when the fight breaks out between the cowboys and the hip swishers on the Busby Berkeley type soundstage.

C’mon girls!

ESPN...MSNBC...Current TV....

I’m betting that within 5 years Olbermann’s going to make it all the way to hosting his own show on the Boise Public Access Channel.

Well, it means that Keith has been crazy for nine more years than we thought ;)
