Yes, folks, Olbermann Watch is on patrol to protect us from the evil that is Keith. BWAHHAHAHAHA.

Checked out the HuffPo tonight. Turns out they too have a story on this ridiculous "Keith owes back taxes" story. You can tell the Olbermann Watch operatives have been reading, because they are posting more lies about Tax Scofflaw Keith in the comments. To wit:

While MSNBC flacks spin Page Six with their non-denial denials, Olbermann Watch continues to unearth more outstanding judgements against Olbermann for delinquent taxes.

Olbermann Watch has now confirmed that in 2003 the New York City Finance Department socked Keith's "Empire" with a $46,055 judgement for failure to pay taxes to New York City. The judgement, since vacated, was filed on June 30, 2003.

This latest tax problem, the fourth to surface in as many days, shows Keith struggling to pay his taxes on time in either New York State, New York City or California for five of the past nine years: 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007 and 2008.

Hmm. Wolfie, you're a lawyer. Do you think you could explain to Bob Cox and his Cox-Suckers what "vacated judgment" means? :rofl:

Now get this, in a separate comment:

A search of records in New York State turned up another Judgement against Keith Olbermann - this one for Keith personally not his "Empire" shell corporation). The Judgement was filed on 7/27/2000 for $21,565.

California records show yet another judgement - this one for a whopping $77,425 - which was filed on 9/21/2001. I guess Keith's professed patriotic fervor in the wake of 9/11 had cooled by the time his tax bill was due. This one was filed in Los Angeles County. Records indicate that Keith was finally got around to resolving the matter four months later.

Just a minute, folks. Let's take a look at that timeline. 9/11 happened on--well, 9/11--but on 9/21, Keith gets a lien filed against him for California tax, and this is supposed to mean "Keith's professed patriotic fervor in the wake of 9/11 had cooled by the time his tax bill was due"? Um, guys, Keith's 2001 tax bill wasn't due until April 15, 2002--same as everyone else's. If the state of California thought he owed them back taxes on September 21, 2001, his non-payment of them up to that point couldn't have had ANYTHING to do with his feelings after 9/11--they would have been his 2000 California tax bill, due April 15, 2001. DUH. Kinda hard to see how his feelings about paying his 2000 California taxes could possibly be affected by 9/11.

But, anyway, what they're saying is, he paid up, four months after the lien. Ohh, the pain, the shame! Keith was late paying his taxes!!!! The horror! The horror!!!! Why, I'll bet the state didn't even assess him any PENALTIES for it!!!! :scared:

All together Keith's tax warrants and judgements now exceed $100,000

Uh, guys...how do you figure that?? They only way I can figure is if you added:

--the $46,055 Keith never had to pay at all because THE JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM WAS VACATED;
--the $21,565 you say he got a judgment for in 2000 (which, for all we know, he PAID)
--the $77,425 California said he owed them (which, you acknowledge, he PAID).

So, how does that add up to more than $100 grand in unpaid taxes? IT DOESN'T!!!!

Ah, but of course, you never said it did, did it? You just said "Keith's tax warrants and judgements now exceed $100,000." But even THAT is wrong, if you throw out the judgment that was vacated!

So, at worst, what we would have here is $98,990 in judgments, but hey, let's add the $2,000 plus from last year to make it more than $100K. Well...you indicate that he PAID the $77,425, and MSNBC says he paid the $2K. So...are you saying he didn't pay the $21K? I'm thinking he did, but holy cow, even if he didn't...you are still WAY OFF BASE.

Gosh, guys, go back to math class! Take Accounting 101!

Bob Cox and the Cox-Suckers...for all time, the WORST! PEOPLE! IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!
