Keith Olbermann Gets Fired by Current TV, Goes Ballistic

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:

Cat fight! Hissy fit! Bitchslapped!

I love it when Olbersturmfurher loses it.

Remind me to double my contribution to Mental Health Week. I’ll even buy a butterfly net to use on Keithy Baby.

Rubber room time or a job with the Democratic Party, whichever comes first.

[Daniel II]

Yup. This guy is always right. Everybody else is always wrong. I Know a few jerks like that.

“This clown should be washing dishes at a roadside diner.”

Goodness, do you hate diners that much?

[Gertie]

Really, if he is, he has outed “little bill maher” and “jessie” and “al sharpton” and “calypso louie”. He is in great company, all a$$holes, their idea of lipstick is a Preparation H suppository.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!

[verga]

That would be Two vessels. Rosie (Bull Dyke) O’Donnell got canned from the Oprah network as well.

[doc1019]

LOL! No, just know that that should have been his highest achievement. ;-)

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Oh, how I love happy endings.

[boop]

What? You mean that even LIBERALS can't put up with lunatics?

For all their smarts, why do liberal network owners think that repulsive idiotic hosts are the key to success?

[prairiebreeze]

If he sues Al Gore, I believe Keith will find out he’s brought a knife to a gun fight.

I think this story will just melt away and his rant will allow him to save face a bit with his equally nutty base.

Lunacy recognizes lunacy....
Pink floyd...
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ‘till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

“I can’t think of anything to say except...
I think it’s marvellous! HaHaHa!”

I wouldn’t have hired him in the first place. Had I recovered from the hangover following the blackout which would have been necessary for me to have hired him in error, I’d have called him up to my office and thrown him right through the big window to his death on the street below. Figuratively of course. Thanks STARWISE.

[GOPJ]

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.

Our great respect for liberals is starting to show...

[peeps36]

Poor Keith, how is he going to pay for that condo in Trump Towers now that he in unemployed again?

[immadashell]

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

How many people can list that they have been fired by both Current TV and MSNBC on their resumes? Should that be considered a negative or a positive?

[doc1019]

My heart weeps for his deceitful soul ... not!

[jayrunner]

Doesn’t KO still live with Mommy and has several cats?

Keith Olbermann has a Traumatic Head Injury that nobody wants to talk about and it explains his erratic, angry and sometimes violent demeanor. Years ago he ran into a steel girder. This is how it's explained in Wikipedia:

In August 1980, he also suffered a head injury while "leaping" onto the NYC subway.[104] This head injury permanently upset his equilibrium, resulting in his avoidance of driving.[8]

[Seaplaner]

Current TV Drops Keith Olbermann and Hires Eliot Spitzer?

This is an insult that even the clue-deficient Mister Olbermann might sense.

So, Olbermann is being replaced by (muffled laughter) Client 9?

I feel sorry for Olbermann, as there is little left for him. He might inquire to see if there is an availability as a gentleman's gentleman for PeeWee Herman; and if that doesn't pan out, maybe a gig at Dunkin Donuts, Burger King or PBS.

hello all I am riverdog and I have not posted here for many years- I have no excuse and no I was not in jail! I just feel that current events especially the self defense shooting in Florida, Olbermann losing it again, a commie president, well I just find it hard to hold my tounge any longer. Please forgive me if I breach any protocols or etiquette. I am about 95% conservative and feel like this website and it’s originators and contributers best voice my ideology and opinions.
On the topic of olberman and gore all I can say is it is just heartening to see moonbats collide! I reserve my complete disdain and contempt for the likes of olberman, maher, moore, matthews (all of msnbc) and last but not least the illegal alien in the white house.
what these moonbats have done to this country, our country. my country is digraceful and treasonous. I just can;t say anything good about any of them so for now I will not take upa ny more time or space and I look forward to commenting to the best of my ability on the misdeeds of the moonbat leftwingnut slime that would turn America into a third world socialist country...C
