In reply to the discussion: Keith Olbermann Countersued By Current TV [View all]jeanmarc
(1,685 posts)48. Bite me, Keith.
I can't feel sorry for this blowhard.
I share many of his views, but he's going to get a nice settlement and he didn't like working where he did. How this helps the country I have no idea.
Current TV actually has pretty good programming. Exactly why should Olbermann be entitled to 50 million dollars for doing nothing?
Eat a turd in hell, Keith.

For now, yes. But, he didn't make it on CNN and really needs to go back into politics. Randi

Billo needs to watch his falafels. He's only a perverted phone call away from renewed ridicule.
