Olberman....fired.....AGAIN!

Keith Olberman can't keep a job on Al Gores left wing, hack Current network...What a marooon!  

Current TV announced Friday it has fired Keith Olbermann and will replace him with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

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."

The statement said Spitzer would take over Olbermann's 8:00pm ET time slot effective immediately, beginning Friday night.

It was unclear what caused Current to part ways with the brash TV host, who helped build up the MSNBC brand while serving as the chief evening news anchor at that network from 2003-2011.

Politico said Olbermann was reportedly fired for failing to show up to work, "sabotaging the network" and attacking Current executives, according to a source.

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.

Spitzer, who served as New York's governor from 2007-2008 before resigning following a prostitution scandal, briefly had his own cable show on CNN before it was canceled after nine months.

Keith Olbermann sues Current TV for millions

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/keith-olbermann-sues-current-tv-millions-224416664.html

Keith Olbermann is suing his former employer Current TV for tens of millions of dollars. The Associated Press and CNN have also reported the suit.
Olbermann, who came to Current from MSNBC less than a year ago, was fired late last week via a rather humiliating open letter from company honchos Al Gore and Joel Hyatt.  Olbermann's replacement: Eliot Spitzer.

Olbermann fired back via Twitter, and one quickly saw that this was one spat that wasn't going to go away anytime soon. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Olbermann and his attorneys contend that Current TV committed "breach of contract, sabotage and disparagement."

But the hits don't stop there.

Business Insider reports that the language in the lawsuit is "heavy on the dramatics."  One choice bit:

    "After being enticed to leave MSNBC and come to Current with promises of editorial control, freedom from corporate influence, and the professional support to produce high-caliber political commentary show of the type his viewers have come to expect, Keith Olbermann was disheartened to discover Al Gore, Joel Hyatt, and the management of Current are no more than dilettantes portraying entertainment industry executives."

Another:

    "Hyatt created an environment in which major business errors and technical failures became commonplace and acceptable." The suit continues that when Olbermann rebuffed Hyatt's advances at friendship, "Hyatt reacted by withholding necessary production resources, disparaging Olbermann in the press," and much, much more.

Your move, Current.

Did the gay guy hit on him ?

Firing by open letter :

Disparagement?!?  This asshat has the audacity to accuse somebody else of disparagement?!?  Hell, he's made a CAREER out of disparaging others who don't share his socialist-Utopian view of America!!  Remember the "Worst Person In The World" segment on his PMSNBC show?

What a f....k tool.
