Keith Olbermann’s lavish demands drove his colleagues nuts, according to a series of emails obtained by the New York Post.
Olbermann, who was recently fired from Al Gore’s Current TV, regularly complained about his car service, calling the drivers "smelly" and overly talkative, according to the Post.
The paper notes that after abandoning several car companies, Olbermann’s staff finally settled on one named "Diva."
The Post notes:
"The problem is with him ... the man who professes to be for the 99% doesn’t want any of the 99% talking to him or being near him," an accounting executive complained in one of the missives.
An assistant, who had just about maxed out her corporate card in a desperate attempt to find a car service whose drivers would meet Olbermann’s exacting standards, e-mailed Accounting: "I bet you wish I was joking about this ... but we have yet another car service we need to open an account with. ...
But then she had an inspiration — why not try an LA company called, appropriately, "Diva."
