So current TV analyzed CNN’s mistake and determined Kathleen Parker was the problem?

Eliot Spitizer. Ohmygod!!! How can I purchase this wonderful Current TV channel so that I may listen to the wisdom of Eliot Spitzer? I must pressure my local cable provider that I might hear the words of such a wondrous personage as the Spitz.

His contract...with 4 years left on it - $50 million.
Where did they (CurrentTV) get the money; AlGore’s VP embezzelment stash.

The staff at Current TV should of known the powder keg they were hiring. Olbermann has, well....hmmmmmm.....how can I say this....”personal issues”.
He is, as they say in the business, “high maintenance”. Another way to put it, “Jewish American Princess”. The name Veruca Salt comes to mind.

While at ESPN and MSNBC (according to the trade blogs and rumors) Olbermann was a pain in the ass with his water cooler antics, petty tit-for-tat personality, abuse of sick time & vacation time and so on and so forth. At MSNBC, he was living off of his past glories, anti-Bush hit pieces, Palin rants but once the shtick got old he couldn’t/wouldn’t do the daily grind. The words TALENT and HARD WORK were not in his vocabulary.
Olbermann believes he is the center of the universe and thusly sets his own time-table, rules and agendas. MSNBC (and no doubt Current TV) got tired of it.
If I was a major media CEO, I wouldn’t touch this guy with a ten foot pole.

And to add insult to injury, Olbermann’s Mom changed the locks on her basement doors.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. This reminds me of "Bored of the Rings", a spoof of LOTR from Harvard Lampoon years ago. Instead of the town of Bree, they had "Scenic, Historic Whee", and on the sign a declining series of population numbers, larger ones crossed out, followed by "and still growing!" What a cavalcade of losers, starting with Gore himself.

Also why do liberals always get to say they are “speaking truth to power” even when they are the ones in power? Bad cliche under the circumstances.
I think the "speaking truth to power" mob ought to contemplate the meaning of a very old saying, namely "A cat may look at a king."
