Current TV cans Olbermann
2012-03-30
Olbermann fired again!!!
Current TV announced Friday it has fired Keith Olbermann and will replace him with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
Geeez, Keith...Spitzer! Spitzer, fer crissakes!!!
A statement from the network's founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt said it had been founded "on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it."
Sounds like Deja Vu all over again...
Politico said Olbermann was reportedly fired for failing to show up to work, "sabotaging the network" and attacking Current executives, according to a source.
Sounds like Keithy's got that MO down to a science...
The left-leaning network, launched in 2005, indicated that Olbermann had failed to honor the terms of his five-year, $50 million contract, according to The New York Times.
Don't worry, Keith. There's always.........
On second thought, start worrying.

#7  ...what the heck did truckers do to deserve that? Now the Gary Glitter memorial holding cell room in the Bangkok airport, that's something about the proper level.

#6  I'll enjoy reading his "where are they now?" in 5 years. Douchebag deserves to be appearing in men's rooms at truckstops

#5  It was unclear what caused Current to part ways with the brash TV host...

Actually, itÂ’s crystal clear. Sure you're an ass Keith. But, that's not it. See thereÂ’s plenty of successful assÂ’s in your profession. Hell, some of them are even much bigger ass's then you. Bottom line bub...youÂ’re simply not very good at what you do.

#4  In other words, they discovered what the rest of us already know: he's a king asshole who thoroughly enjoys being Mr. Powerful over others. Not showing up to work? That's for the little people.
