LOS ANGELES — Al Gore’s Current TV is blasting back at fired host Keith Olbermann.
In a court filing Friday, the network attacked the liberal opinion-maker as “arrogant†and “immature†and said that he had failed to show up for nearly half of his recent workdays. The papers were a response to Olbermann’s $70 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Thursday against Current, which hired him as its star last year but dismissed him in late March after months of turmoil.

“(H)e arrogantly and falsely calls ‘cheap’ the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored, given him the largest studio and custom-designed set on which he had ever worked, and paid over $50,000 in an eight-month period to eight different limousine companies because none of the previous seven were able to meet his patrician standards for how to drive him around New York City,†the papers say.
