Small, petty, juvenile.  I could go on, but, you know…

I watched Keith on MSNBC every. single. night.  And now he’s been reduced to sending passive aggressive tweets on a big news night.  Really disappointing.  

Now that is ominous.

The next logical stop fo Olby is hosting the Popeye Club in Syria.

Hey Mediaite……..what took you so long?

If he was axed again, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving pompous twit.

Wow…an even more progressive network than MSNBC doesn’t want Olbermann…that’s shocking!!!!!!

He gets the boot from ESPN, of course it was them not Keith….Then MSNBC…..Now Current.

At some point does Keith start to see a pattern…..Maybe its him??????

If this is true the “Worst Persons” today are @JoelHyatt, @AlGore and @Current. 

 Ego does not equal competence.  His following of twenty-year-olds is impressed with his bluster, but apparently his employer is not.

Keith has just tweeted another tid bit……….stay tuned for Tommy Christopher

Colby Hall out, Keith Olbermann in?

Do any readers on this site know anyone who has THIS MANY problems with EACH of their employers?!?!

Oy vey! What a pain this guy is!

Who’s Keith Olbermann?

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Keith Who?

Great minds… :-)

This story is not worth the time it took to write.  Olbermann is an arrogant, ill-informed left wing hack who thinks way too much of himself.  Karma is a bitch, Keith.  Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.  See ya, don’t let the door knob hit ya on the way out. 

You might want to check Olbermann’s Twitter feed again.

Oprah Winfrey will hire him.

TOMMY SAID:

“He tweeted to a fan, earlier today, that he was “headed into the office now” for Countdown‘s return from holiday hiatus.”

No Tommy, that is not exactly what he said.

Johnny Dollar called it hours ago:

“johnny dollar,
Cable news blogger. An attorney for nearly 30 years, published writer,
broadcaster, broadcast producer, and amateur musician. Johnny Dollar’s
Place: Cable News Truth.
note that Olby tweets that he’s headed to his office. Doesnt
actually say he’s going on the air. I suspect that’s deliberate.”

http://johnnydollar.us/files/120103.php#disqus_thread

KO, IMO, played his fans to ramp up their outrage that will naturally be directed at Current.

This is what Olbermann should have expected when he signed the contract with Current Tv!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE TEN PEOPLE WHO WERE GOING TO WATCH COUNTDOWN TONIGHT?

Glad Keith will be back on Current TV

“Back by popular demand, Countdown returns Wednesday Night 8 PM Eastern. Now with 99% less Santorum (google it)” -KO

Queef is the typical liberal.  Obnoxious, useless and angry at the world.

He got booted from FOX too…

Now Hagzilla you kissing Johnny Ass will get you nowhere, Janet, Olbermann is a great American, while your idol Johnny Dollar has done nothing but spread his GOP propaganda crap…You and Gay Hammy need to get a room.

beat me my THAT much

My whole reason for knowing Current tv exists was due to Keith. I know they are all warm and fuzzy about TYT but to be honest, I miss Countdown and making a choice between TYT and Countdown will always be Countdown.

Pompous jerks are pompous jerks…whether it is Keith Olbermann or Glenn Beck…both of whom must be so bad that ratings or no ratings TV networks are better off without them and the problems they have and cause.

So you were the one who watched Olbermann?  I heard that he had a fan out there somewhere.  

Think there was a good reason why Keith is taking a day-off, does Iowa ring any bells?

Clever girl…

And that broadcast will be at FOK News, right?

U mad, bro?

You watched that horrible show every night?
 My condolences to your family.

He needs the rest so he won’t have a heart attack if he participates in any Iowa.

Keith doesn’t claim the ‘fault’ is with anyone but himself, the media likes to speculate around other reasons. He is always open with his fans about it though. But hey, heads up, while you are commenting here, you are likely missing valuable time watching Fox’s Iowa Caucus GOP love fest.

I like problems more than big fat employer dong.

Olbermann’s decay from the spotlight can be used as a good comparison to the state of “progressivism” in America.
It’s disappearing an nobody gives a damn. And that’s a good thing.

I wish Olbermann would just shoot himself in the head (instead of always shooting himself in the foot).

Nah, since I am banned from Dollars Dump, I just like getting his minions going. Hagzilla knows it is all in fun

This 1% gets richer every time he gets fired from a gig. MSNBC paid him off, now it looks like Current will pay off his contract after they let him go. Seems like OWS should be protesting all the corporations that find it acceptable to pay someone millions just to fire them. Where is Gore getting his money anyway?  Reports are that Olbermann is getting 10 mill a year from a station with 100 viewers.  How does this math work?

As opposed to the DNC/Obama love fest that can only be found on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC every.single.night.

What choice did he have?  He needed to stay somewhat relevant.  Local cable access seemed to be his only option.

Not funny.  And assuming you weren’t trying to be funny, not appropriate, either.  And assuming you weren’t trying to be appropriate, not…

Brian Stelter reported on 12/29 in the NYT that Keith would not be participating in tonight’s coverage. This was not a surprise, even though Keith’s tweets make it seem as though it were.

TC: “he unexpectedly tweeted ominous news… its hard to say what will happen next.”  No, its not.

Current asked Keith to be the sole anchor and exec producer of our
primary and caucus coverage beginning tonight. Unfortunately, he
declined to anchor or participate.

The “Chief News Officer” of Current TV declined an invitation to participate, during his regular timeslot, in Current’s Iowa caucus coverage, despite having tweeted that he was on his way into work?

OK, someone or everyone is lying.

So many regular people are being exploited just so Keef can take home his ridiculous paychecks.

Keith Olbermann – See him exclusively on Twitter!

Well three of them are here and Olby’s agent is probably searching for a cardboard box he can call home, as for the rest of them your guess is as good as mine.

Olbermann & FOKs Must Love Getting Fired & Banned !!!

What A Way To Live !!!

real funny Jeff, horsefluffing done for tonight

This will be the pathetic fate of all of the vile Alinsky tools on CNN and (especially) MSNBC.

Piers is now trying to bash Olbermann

Rasta, you win “Iron Stomach for Pure Torture” award.  I have no idea how you do it. 

You’ll be missed Keeth!  NOT!

Find the nearest bathtub.

And ICN, and TVNewser, and OW and here under a half dozen or so new names.

Damn, but this boy is like puppy that you just can’t housebreak.  Let him near a rug and he pees, poos and barfs and then wags his tail like he’s actually done something.

Holy crap that’s funny!!!!

Ck out Piers Morgan’s Tweet:

Cheer up @KeithOlbermann – you can catch all the big Iowa political news on my live show at midnight ET. #CNNElections

LOL funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

How bad do you have to be to have Morgan looking down on you?

They’re all here waiting breathlessly for jack192 to weigh in on any subject….

well Hagzilla ask Gay Hammy about calling people a pussy on twitter…and what is your obsession with pee and poop, is it because your depends had sprung a leak.

I tuned in Current and I almost went into a coma.  Al Gore is so boring. And what is with prominently showing FOX News over his right shoulder?   Current will go the way of Air America.  As for Olbermann, how does he expect anyone to take him seriously?  He only shows his nasty, petty personality by taking a swipe a Rick Santorum. 

awww….and I bet you’re one of his biggest “fans” aren’t you? btw, the tweets? everybody can read them, not just you.

Piers? Piers? Pees?

Sorry am drawing a blank. Who is Piers?

I have not been able to watch KO since I do not get Current.

Does anyone know if he had a meltdown or went off the deep end like he did at MSNBC?

I know there was that whole black screen thing.

Wednesday night will probably be his last show on Current.

Gee…what a let down.

Rasta have you caught him since he “left” MSNBC?

Something smells of the old ‘feel sorry for me’ PR stunt to get some attention….and it worked,  Tommy was all over this!!

could be as simple as KO wanting more $$ to anchor anything outside of Countdown, although I cannot believe a detail such as this was not nailed down in his original contract with Current.  We have Current stating he was asked to anchor.  He isn’t anchoring.  Sounds like his decision.  Or this could be caused by less than stellar technical operations, as proven by the studio falling apart.  KO could be trying to make a point about studio conditions…  We obviously do not know the whole story right now.

and where has KO said its his fault? I can’t find that anywhere. He wrote an essay saying he couldn’t handle ESPN (in same essay he blasts his bosses), but I could not find anywhere KO said his departures were his fault. Nice try though.

Sporadically – I was liking what I was seeing, but I don’t get Current on my TV.  But the show is not the same…

Oh come on now: I’m sure there’s got to be at least SOME more deserving pompous twit than KO. BillO, sure – that one’s just obvious. Rush maybe – except without him the GOP would have no leader, & we can’t have a leaderless party running the House now, can we? There’s millions out of work & there’s ceilings to be raised & legislation to the common well to pass.

Actually, I don’t think he’s gone. There’s lots of history to KO exeunts, and they always always always are accompanied by KO taking shots at the owners or producers or both, and that’s not happening this time. 

The thing is, if I were God at Current TV, as a matter of protocol I’d ask KO, who’s the news director there, if he wanted to run the show, knowing he may well NOT wish to run it. Believe it or not, folks, it’s hard to make a show about nothing – just ask Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld – & invariably shows about nothing lead to comedy. But the best comedy for this Iowa beauty contest – bear in mind that the actual OPERATIONAL part of the caucus balloting has to do with selecting representatives to the state caucus to be held down the line, and the folks who get chosen there get to go to the RNC in August, and they are NOT bound in any way to this night’s “beauty contest” voting (McCain in 2008 did not bother with Iowa, yet at the RNC that year he picked up all 40 votes – not in the end, at the BEGINNING.) – is on twitter:

http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23iacaucus 

which is so appropriate, given the GOP are offering up a Confederacy of Twits this time.

But you could even skip #iacaucus and go right to the master in Andy Borowitz. Here’s some samples from iacaucus, starting with my favorite ‘in depth’ analysis & ending with the bottom line:

Robert Reich Waiting for the results the #iacaucus is like waiting at the airport for someone you don’t know, don’t care about, and believe is deranged.pourmecoffee It’s not clear who won the African-American vote. Someone should ask him. #iacaucusAndy Borowitz Mitt Romney must be thrilled: he’s in a tie with a lawn gnome and a guy who opposes man-on-dog marriageAndy Borowitz CNN showing a woman counting ballots OUT LOUD – haven’t seen coverage like this since Sesame Street.Andy Borowitz If Santorum going to be President, better hurry & marry your pet now.Andy Borowitz My Iowa prediction: the winner is going to be white

Continuing with my thought experiment, if I were KO, I would reply, Well, no, not really, I’ll participate if you really want though I don’t see the point, and I’m perfectly happy to do my own show, where I can even do a segment on Iowa, say either Worst Persons – The Three-Way Tie, or with that guy from the Village Voice who inserts santorum into every punchline.

At that point, if I’m running Current TV, I’m thinking, Here’s a great chance to intro our viewers to KO’s big acquisitions for us (Keep in mind that KO brought these two to Current TV), Cenk & Jennifer.  

And if I’m KO, & I’m seeing all this kerfuffle at the NYTimes & at Mediaite & all over the wingosphere about, Hey, is KO getting the axe or WHAT? I’m thinking – Hey, ratings; I’m thinking that the best thing is just let this ride.

What a way to live, indeed. 

sheesh.

He probably called someone a hooker again or some other sweet liberal terms……….

Does his show still receive ratings?

He’s supposed to be in charge of the “news division” such as it is.

Ah, was the megalomaniac told he’d have to share? Poor wittle baby…

brdad, go fly a kite. It would be much more productive than that comment!

Who knows maybe Cable Access’ Democracy Now is looking for someone to start a “Worst Person in the World”?

He’s the guy cashing the big checks with 6 zeros behind the number and you don’t .

 You have a point.  I’ll bet he re-invents himself and comes back for another tour. I always liked him.  He has never recovered since Rachel shot him out of the saddle.

No good for Keith. Scruffy looks, no tie, no sets…, and now The Countdown’s off the air.

Wherever he works he keeps defying hierarchy and actually increases the risks of finding himself restrained to blogging from his own apartment and commenting on the current events on his YouTube channel.

Ah Cecelia you are the lifeless one hanging on my every word, if not for me you and those 4 that post at Dollars Dump would have nothing to bitch about..LOL

I think it’s because Keith hasn’t been paying any attention to the Republican caucuses/primaries. His focus has been more on the Occupy movement. Frankly, he wouldn’t have any decent input.

Well, say hello to your pinnacle, Scot, because giving people you don’t like something to complain about, will surely be your sole achievement in life.

Democrats are so pathetic … unbelievable!   Barely worth calling names.

Brass begins countdown on Countdown.

again

KO makes as much money as BillO for one-tenth of the ratings.

Evidently, Olbermann did not appear because, at last minute, Current refused his demand that he cover the Iowa Caucus without ever seeing, hearing, or referencing a Republican.

…pompous twit…maybe…

…Olby is really just a pathetic PUTZ…

I like:
‘Countdown Will Not Be On Tonight,’ Refers Questions To Brass

brass is still in the link

What happened to the original headline of this column?

Seems the columnist’s victory lap turned into an epic fail.

This one’s not about behavior.  Based on your user name (wihich I like), the channel will soon be ‘no more’.   Will cease to be…

if no one watches you, it’s your own fault.  If he wants to force viewers to watch, move to China or another totalitarian regime that runs only state channels…    

Oprah’s got huge ratings issues herself, and would never choose another host with high negatives (Rosie O’Donnell, Olbermann).  

and still no viewers!

Gore makes a lot of money off being an environmental guru, strangely enough.  Given his lavish lifestyle, he’ll be like MC Hammer soon enough.   

Current TV won’t be around much longer, so no need to speculate.  They’re obviously slashing budgets where they can, and the channel won’t be around much longer.   I’m predicting the channel shuts down within a few months.   

I’m another!

Hope Not. But we will see. I did like the show on MSNBC better. But sometimes the rants were just too long. I know why he reads Faber on Fridays but that too is getting old. I wish he would just stick with the basic show.

Wow, so many of you have the low down on what is happening with Keith. Both on the left and the right sides of the fence. Magic 8 balls?
 Y’all got some inside sources or what?

That cements Al Gore’s and Joel Hyatt’s place as complete morons.

‘Reliable’ sources are more interesting.

Why do you keep saying that, you may have O.C.D., have you sought help?

He likely sees Iowa as a useless exercise in futility.  Far too much importance is placed on Iowa simply because it’s first.  More people will vote in the primary in the county of Florida I live in than the entire “cock-us” in Iowa.

Note: “cock-us” is  trademarked, don’t use it without my permission.

Well, that didn’t take long for KO.
Al Gore: Keith, we want you to anchor the Iowa caucus Tuesday night.Keith Olbermann: OK, first, I’ll mention how Bill O’Reilly is the worst person in world.
AG: Wait, he doesnt have anything to do with the Caucus.
KO: I know, but O’Reilly REALLY is the worst person in the world!
AG: I agree, but we want to show the public that this channel is to be taken seriously as a legitimate news source. Just stick to the returns.
KO: IF I CAN’T MENTION HOW MUCH I REALLY REALLY HATE BILL O’REILLY AND HOW HE IS THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD, THEN I’M NOT DOING THE SHOW!!!  SO THERE!!

Keith is a man-child, doofus, hack, and tool of mind-less progressives that hang on his every word. I rather like seeing the champagne communist on the air. As long as he is doing the bidding of the (former) pro-Soviet Progressives, the world can see ‘Progressive-ism” for what it is.

He is the 1% that the OWS parasites were railing — yet not protesting — about. A sick, sick, man that will never get over the fact that he couldn’t even get a sniff of what his ‘competitor’, and object of his obsession (Bill-O) enjoyed.

MSNBC could hire KO back as a Maddow co-host to give the show a woman’s point of view.

Where will Keith go next? I heard that he was mulling a site of his own, like mediaite or Tucker Carlson’s place. You know, just a media site about media.

Post of the day. lol.

My guess would be Nickelodeon

Smoke a bone or something dude, Chill.

Going cost Current a lot of money to rid of Keith Suckermann worse person in world. It is a matter of time before Current sends Keith packing and I wouldn’t be surprise if Suckermann can’t fine another job because he burns bridges pretty fast.

False. Rosie O’Donnell has a show on OWN.

OWN is an epic fail.

I was gonna watch last night ….But the Test Pattern Indian offered more depth and insite …

History tends to repeat itself. Olbermann has never worked out at any network he has been involved with. Most people realized this one would be no different. He’s still a pompous prick. Just a pompous prick with a much smaller audience. I predict a Young-Turks-You Tube- type ending for Keith. Then when he gets 10 million hits a month from the same 50,000 people, he can claim he is on top again. Ha. 

But Bill-O will still be making that much with 3 million viewers a night when Keithy is working for free making you tube videos. Keith is heading downhill at breakneck speed. No one will hire him when his Current gig is over. Lucky for him the internet came along. 

More of an update. Same old whiny “If I don’t get my way, I won’t be there” Olbermann:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/keith-olbermann-current-tv-gop-primary-278050 

Coming SOON! 

Olbermann on Al Jazeera! 

(English edition!)

He can be boorish, loutish, and neanderthal like in 13 languages–and signs well for the hearing impaired.

It’s the close proximity of the eyes and nose that gets the point across–”I’m special, listen to me!”

I don’t even really like countdown, but I do enjoy how Keith brings out the derangement in right wing mouth breathers.

Conservatives are so pathetic. They obsess an awful lot over someone they proclaim so inconsequential. They must be lonely, how sad. HAHAHAHAHAAH

What a ridiculous comment!  No wonder you only have two “likes” in one day!  They must be from the other two left wing liberals on this board.
