Keith Olbermann is ‘arrogant,’ ‘immature,’ Current court filing says

By Scott Collins / Los Angeles Times
 Saturday, April 7, 2012 - Added 1 day ago


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.

Who does he think he is, President of the U.S. or something?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Tell ya what--let him take a NYC Taxi.  Better still, give Olbertard a MetroCard and tell him to take the subway a few days.  He'll change his tune pretty quick, I bet.
