Keith Olbermann released the following statement on his termination from Current TV:
I'd like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV.
Editorially, Countdown had never been better. But for more than a year I have been imploring Al Gore and Joel Hyatt to resolve our issues internally, while I've been not publicizing my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the sake of its loyal viewers and even more loyal staff. Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of abiding by their promises and obligations and investing in a quality news program, finally thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract.
It goes almost without saying that the claims against me implied in Current's statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently. To understand Mr. Hyatt’s “values of respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty,” I encourage you to read of a previous occasion Mr. Hyatt found himself in court for having unjustly fired an employee. That employee’s name was Clarence B. Cain.
In due course, the truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will come out. For now, it is important only to again acknowledge that joining them was a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one. That lack of judgment is mine and mine alone, and I apologize again for it.
This should be in “Breaking”!
Getting fired by Current TV is like getting cut by the 62 Mets.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! The libs eating their own!!!
AAWWWWWWW!! Well bless his heart!
Yeah so true...I immediately thought of the story about the scorpion and the frog.
the ironic part...if they put the trial on Current television, people would actually watch it.
This clown Olbermann has been fired more times than I have fingers.

Just about. I know of ESPN, NSNBC and now Current. There are probably more that I’ve forgotten.
When is Keith going to realize he’s to blame for his failures?
Who?
Hyatt, Metzenbaum,Olbermann, Gore, and their vermin friends like the Clintons, Durbins, Pelosis, Boxers, Feinsteins, Mikulskis; Kerrys, Bidens; Schummers, Reids, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jacksons, Obamas, etc have visited untold misery on this country, that could be regarded as political treason. God help this republic.
No winners? Oh, yes...the lawyers. And on this occasion I won’t begrudge them their very high fees!
“if Olbermann got only 10% of what his contract called for, he’s a rich man.”
If he gets 10% of Gore’s wealth in the event Cap’n’Trade passes, he can hire Bill Gates to clean his toilet.
Olberman’s Job One was to build up Current TV. He failed. He was fired. Big Deal? I don’t think so. It was quite predictable.
Oh how I love when liberals start hating on each there.I’m sure any secrets Keithy has learned while working for Current will soon be public knowledge. :)
what his contract called for?? or what he claimed he was being paid???

Do all these Libs go to the same school and study the same subject where they are taught to always blame anyone and everything else for their own failures? Do any of them ever, ever, ever admit responsibility for their own actions; or breaking the law; or saying something vile, ignorant, racist or sexist; or just being stupid? Certainly whatever course they took to learn to avoid accepting the consequences of their own actions is the only course in which they must have excelled.
Yep I guess that proves that liberals really are the majority in this country.NOT! LOL
Didn’t he work once for one of the Networks and was let go from there also?
It’s been a great week.
First Ozero gets caught on a hot mike selling out the U.S. to the Russians, next the Supremes mercilessly humiliated his attorneys on Obamascare, then his bungling fool V.P. Biden calls a host “Dr. Pepper”, and now one of his best cheerleaders Keith (the communist) Olbermann gets corn holed by Algore.
How sweet it is.
Hee-hee! love to see a chick fight!
No disrespect to women FReepers.
