The Issue: The firing of Keith Olbermann from his latest TV gig on Al Gore’s network.
***
It’s ironic that blowhard Keith Olbermann, who nightly names his “worst person in the world,” has been fired again, this time by virtually unknown Current TV (“How Keith ‘Drove’ a Network Bonkers,” April 2).
This man has been fired by nearly everyone he has ever worked for — not because of his anemic ratings but because he is truly the worst person in the world.
Next stop? How about public-access TV?

I am laughing out loud at the karmic ending to Olbermann’s show on Al Gore’s network.
Both men made a fortune in their lives by tearing down others and smiling all the way to the bank.
The really funny upside to this is to have Eliot Spitzer replacing him. He is no better. He made his living by tearing down others, too.

It’s poetic justice to see Olbermann lose his job in this horrible Obama economy that he so loves and helped create.

What is someone working for Gore doing riding around in a limo, anyway?
Olbermann gives real meaning to the term “limousine liberal.”

In order to maintain the level of intellectual honesty and journalistic integrity established by Olbermann at Current TV, Gore will have to hire Charlie Sheen.

When will somebody finally stick a pin in liberal blowhard Olbermann so that he can just go away?
The way Olbermann acts toward people is a disgrace. When even your fellow liberals can’t stand you, you know it’s time to look in the mirror.
