I'm kind of shocked, although it's not a big surprise. It had been trending in this direction unfortunately.

It may be a while before he has a regular news show again. This didn't end well.

Wow. Can't say I didn't see this as a possibility, but a big drag nonetheless. Well, Keith, you and I both ended our period of gainful employment on the same day, although mine was by choice. Let's go out for a drink since we both have some free time. Maybe take in a ballgame? ::call me::

Meanwhile... kinda classy?

Please pass on my best to the gang.

Hi, Pats!

I was a little stunned but given the events of the last few weeks it was a matter of time, sad to say. So, let's see what happens next.

In the meantime, however, life goes on so let's find another venue to hook up and keep the party going!

Love ya!

I was looking forward to having some time to finally hook up all the devices and watch KO on the big screen, and then this. Oh, well... The best laid plans and all that. But it's nice seeing you again even under these circumstances. Maybe he'll reappear on a channel most of us can get?

It's been all downhill from there. He messed with KOEB juju. I must say, men are children - ya think they could've worked this out and maybe saved us all the dramz. So, there's no house for the 10 million dollar chandelier - build a freaking house.

PM me & I'll send you my name. If you're really clever, you may have already figured it out.
BTW, I'm "friends" with Wolvie, Sharon, CC, & GiGi. So you could just look at their friends page and look for my RevCheesehead/SouthPark avatar.

Keith, you need some of these:

BTW this is KO's fault not Al Gore's or anybody @ current TV they tried to build a
network around him and he was a pain in the ass.

But how can anyone choose between Olbermann and Gore?



I hope he will turn up again somewhere soon, for
all of you guys.

that when you read any thread on this story, it's filled with posts that either "love/LOVE" Keith or "HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE!!!!!" him. There's very little emotion in-between. I think I fall more in-between

I didn't hate him, and was disappointed that he was fired, and will miss being able to tune him in whenever I want. I'm not a news junkie and just get burned out on political news every single day. I can't tell you how many times my mind just tuned out whenever one of his political analyst guests were on. I just don't care like most people here. For much of the political news, the headline story is more than enough.

But I did like Keith's commentary, his silly stuff, and his delivery. I liked that acerbic wit. Reminds me of Gregory House The Thurber nights were good, when I was in the mood, or when I remembered to watch.

I'm still on Keith's side, especially seeing as how it was yet another corporate/network suit being a dumbass. Really, do these people take college classes in how to be assholes? Whenever another DUer mentions Keith wasn't a "team player" I have to wonder how many of them are also in upper management

So, I'll look to this forum when he's slated to come back, wherever it is. Someone suggested on the thread in LBN that it could be on RT - Russia Today. Their production values certainly seem better than Current's. I just don't know what their corporate suits are like
