A TDPS Exclusive
Reportedly, Jeeves, the recently fired Ask.com spokesman (read story), showed up in the middle of Al Gore's keynote address drunk and stumbled his way up the the podium. He was pulling the wire of the microphone in an unsuccessful attempt to grab it out of the ex VP's hands in the middle of his speech. All the while he was screaming at the top of his tuxedo clad lungs..."Shut your pie hole you boring fat ----." Tempers got further flared when it ended up that it wasn't the microphone wire that Jeeves was pulling on, but rather the pony tail of Jeff Scott (SVP of media planning at MPV). Mr. Scott, a devout follower of eastern philosophies and fan of the sitcom Seinfeld, was heard to be mumbling, "Serenity now, serenity now." The Ask.com spokeswoman we spoke to said the company would no longer comment publicly about their recently departed spokes butler. When asked whether it was problems like this that caused Ask.com to fire the 7 year employee, she responded, "Do you think?"
