From the Daily Caller: Keith Olbermann and Al Gore: the secret emails revealed
On March 30th, Current TV terminated its relationship with outspoken liberal anchor Keith Olbermann. The Daily Caller has exclusively obtained many of the emails between Olbermann and network founder Al Gore in the months leading up to the split.
They are reprinted here for the first time, in their entirety, and without comment.
FROM: Keith Olbermann
TO: Al Gore
DATE: June 18, 2011
Dear Albert,
“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
Those words come from Samuel Clemens, perhaps better known to you as literary colossus Mark Twain.
I need not tell you, Al, that I am that scarce man who refuses to remain silent when he sees injustice, that patriot who stands tall and strong and brave, even when hated and scorned. And I do see injustice – even here at Current TV.
I tried to remedy my current morass without coming to you, Al, but with no remedy forthcoming, I feel compelled to bring to your attention my roadblock, which you shall note is something far more severe than a mere speed bump.
In the new studio for my show, I find no golden scepter despite my explicit request to Joel Hyatt for one. This will be an indispensable part of my new show and I see no reason why I have to justify its expense.
Also, the Current proletariat seem to have no inhibitions about walking up to me and freely engaging me in conversation, as if I have time for their verbal meanderings. For all their faults, my employers at MSNBC made it explicitly clear that if someone wanted to communicate with me, they could do so — but only through letters written in calligraphy that were deposited in a receptacle outside my office between 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.
Why has this same policy not yet been communicated at Current?
In a letter written in his jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama at a time of great tumult, Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote prophetically: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Will you fix my injustices, Al?
Yours Truly,
Keith Theodore Olbermann
Cornell University, Class of 1979

“Eucalyptus woodland free-air CO2 enrichment is a $65 million government-funded project researching how increased levels of CO2 affect Australian Eucalypt Forests”
“Hawkesbury Institute scientist Professor David Ellsworth has said the project will show changes in growth and water consumption with the added CO2”
“The project involves large cranes pumping carbon dioxide gas into the ecosystem at the canopy level of the forest to mimic expected atmospheric conditions in 2050. Over a ten-year period, changes such as water consumption and growth will be monitored to determine how carbon dioxide affects forestry ecosystems.”
