So Keith Olbermann is going to Al Gore’s Current TV. I am not sure this is a real thing. Some say it’s an actual television channel, but there are also lots of evidence it’s just Gore in his basement pretending he’s on TV and people are watching him. Whatever it is, it sounds like it’s going to struggle to have the audience reach of the IMAO podcast in its heyday.
The idea is apparently another attempt to do a liberal FOX News. I’m not sure what that means. If they mean a stridently liberal news outlet, then most other news outlets already are a liberal FOX News. If they mean a liberal news outlet that is also popular like FOX, that’s just a fantasy. There are only so many ways to feed back liberals’ tired ideas to them, and I think MSNBC demonstrated about the maximum size of an audience for that.
So, better idea: Instead of Al Gore and Keith Olbermann doing news on Current TV, how about a reality show where they are a mismatched team of bounty hunters. I know I’ve proposed something like this before, but it’s just so obviously a good idea. Cameras would follow Gore and Olbermann as they pursued their bounty through the mean streets, and then they’d both lecture the guy when they caught him. Gore would be like, “Do you understand how your crimes affect the environment?” And Olbermann would be like, “How dare you, sir. How dare you.” And they’d get so caught up in their lecturing they’d miss the bounty escaping and inevitably get in a big argument blaming each other. Drama, action, lots of arguing between inflated egos — there’s a great reality show. Who would not watch that?
I thought he was going to do commercials for that SHOUT laundry product.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together? Even then, they’d still probably get a bigger share than what they’re looking at now.
have them both continue with their lives and see who winds up the biggest usa asshole. i bet on olberman since his mouth is open more than gores you should strive to emulate msnbc and reach rating highs they now enjoy i think you screwed up bigtime exposing your talent to a has been clutz like olberman
Olbermann ends each show saying – I’m the best person in the woooorld for putting the beat down on another small woman, while Gore is on the ground wrestling her unconcious body screaming – Wake up, wake up and release my chakra you hussy.
Would AlGore get to do chase scenes? Could they be in slo-mo so we could watch the excess poundage flop around?
Ewwww. Never mind.
Current TV is the media version of the Island of Misfit Toys, well actually it would be more like the Island of Screaming Moonbats That Are So Far Of Touch With Reality As To Be Clinically Insane Toys
Wayne’s World !!! Excellant !! Party !! All from Mom’s basement.

Hi Wayne, I mean Keith.
Hi Garth, I mean Al.
Our guest tonight is Jeanine Garafolo.
It’s a girl We’re gonna score. Sweet.
Tonight, on Current TV.
I told my Dad about this the other night. He said, “Al Gore has a tv channel? What?”
I imagine that this is the normal reaction for most people.
Speaking of misfit toys, one of their shows is called “Bar Karma”
“From the mind of Sims creator Will Wright comes the world’s first “community developed” television show—a sci-fi series about a mysterious bar at the edge of the universe….”
Frank’s suggestion is not entirely far fetched.
Oberdouche will just repeat his same dumb, out of touch with reality, except that on MSNBC it was seen by a few dozen sreaming moonbats. Current TV is only watched by half a dozen screaming moonbats but that’s because they have no choice, they work there.
Who is Keith Olbermann?
While that idea sounds more interesting than whatever Olberman will actually end up doing, I still wouldn’t watch it. I couldn’t even stand to watch half time of Sunday Night Football when Olberman was on there last year. The man causes a physical reaction of revulsion in me.
I beleive a book about the Restaraunt at the End of the Universe has already been written
Bantha, at least that book was entertaining. Frank, maybe they could hunt manbearpig. Also the article I read said current tv was seen in 18000 homes, that comes out to about 360 per state. WOW, what amonumental waste of bandwidth.
My idea for a reality show featuring Olberman and Gore is something more along the lines of a hunting show. Keith and Al wear blaze orange suits. Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter hunt them. The series continues with a different weapon every week, until it, uh, can’t continue any more if you know what I mean and I think you do.
Who wouldn’t watch that? Me, that’s who.
CUE JOE BIDEN PROMO…
“Hey , what has two thumbs and watches Current TV?
THIS GUY!!! It’s a big F***ing deal!!”
——————————————————-
Tonight on “Anti-American Choppers”
– The windpowered motorcycle runs into problems as
Keith and Al run out of breath. Tool and
feces throwing ensue.
——————————————————
Next timeEvery time on”Keith”-Olby recaps the actions and policies of the Bush Administration.
In other words, a tool throws feces.

Good one, Terry. Many yuks ensued.
It’s basically the same thing as Wayne’s World, but for pathetic rich people who are too ugly to get noticed on the real channels.
Al Gore has a TV channel!! Keith Olbermann is going to be on it!? Who says there is no profit in the global warming scam? This sounds like one of my really bad psychotic wet dreams……ManBearPig, High on Angle Dust….again.
I think a reality show with Keith running a farm would be a good idea. He has the chops with his Cornell education being in animal husbandry. Plus, he’s good at shoveling bovine excrement
“Also the article I read said current tv was seen in 18000 homes”
But 17,999 of those homes are tuned to some other channel…
Bounty hunters? Is it like “Dog tbh” or “Mantracker” on donkeys.
If each weekly episode ended with Gore and Olbermann macing each other, I’d watch that.
I hope that the bounty they’re chasing whacks ’em both upside their fool heads with a tire iron before scampering away. I’d watch THAT!!!
From Fred Thompson’s Facebook:
Keith Olbermann said his new show on Current TV will be an “improved, amplified and stronger version” of his show on MSNBC.
Great idea. Because when your neighbor’s yippy dog keeps you up all night barking, the obvious solution is to get him a megaphone.
