I've been reading KO's tweets. He plans on suing. His tweet log---
"I'll be putting out my statement in two ways: 140 characters at a time, and then in one fell swoop via Twitlonger."
"1/ I'd like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV. Editorially, Countdown had never been better."
"2/ But for more than a year I have been imploring @AlGore and @JoelHyatt to resolve our issues internally,"
"3/ while I've been not publicizing my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the sake of its loyal viewers and even more loyal staff."
"4/ Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of abiding by their promises and obligations and investing in a quality news program,"
"5/ finally thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract. It goes almost without saying that the claims against me"
"6/ in Current's statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently."
"7/ To understand Mr. Hyatts values of respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty, I encourage you to read of a previous occasion"
"8/ Mr. Hyatt found himself in court for having unjustly fired an employee. That employees name was Clarence B. Cain: http://nyti.ms/HueZsa"
"9/ In due course, the truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will come out. For now, it is important only to again acknowledge"
"10/ that joining them was a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one."
"11/11 That lack of judgment is mine and mine alone, and I apologize again for it."
Edit to add new tweet--Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann
When @AlGore partner @JoelHyatt illegally fired someone else, it became a haunting movie: Philadelphia http://nyti.ms/HueZsa

I love Keith but hope he's not comparing himself to The Philadelphia Story.
