Report: New York issues tax warrant against Keith Olbermann


The invaluable Olbermann Watch site asserts that the unhinged "newscaster" is a major tax deadbeat. Why is that not surprising?

New York State has issued a tax warrant against Keith Olbermann for failure to pay taxes on his humbly named personal corporation, Olbermann Broadcasting Empire, Inc. Olbermann is listed in legal records as the President of Olbermann Broadcasting Empire, Inc.

A call to the Albany County Clerk's Office in upstate New York confirmed that the warrant is still outstanding and that Olbermann has still failed to pay his back taxes. State records show that Olbermann's company failed to pay $2,269.50 in state taxes. A judgement was entered against Olbermann last summer (Docket Date: 8/21/2007), just weeks before Olbermann closed on a a luxurious $4.2 mm condo at Trump Palace, at 200 East 69th Street.

You'll note that Olbermann recently defended fellow left-wing comedian/tax deadbeat Al Franken.

In total, Olbermann's tax warrants and judgements now exceed $100,000.
