No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The interesting part is that MSNBC (states)  that they terminated his contract without notice......with most "talent" contracts this usually means that he did something really evil.....like violate the "morals clause".  Otherwise, there would generally be advance notice that he's leaving, in order to preserve continuity, and what little ratings he had.

He screwed the pooch somewhere......I can't wait to hear the details.....

I had read that Comcast had been given the OK to buy NBC. Perhaps the new owners didn't like him?? I'll venture a bet that Madcow & Chrissy Matthews aren't too far behind.

From what I saw yesterday on FR, Comcast had already sealed the deal and had let go one of MSNBC's executive donut-punchers.

I'm surprised Keef got his walking papers this quickly.

It just goes to show what a clueless tool Olbermann is.

By the end of the movie Howard Beale was manifestly delusional and preaching corporations were the panacea for societies ills ergo his earlier epiphanies were merely born of the same dementia.

The movie isn't one about righteous indignation but nihilistic futility.

Leave it to a liberal to miss the point completely.

I hear Glenn Beck needs a new janitor for his basement. Beck covers his employee's health insurance too. It's a great opportunity for Keef.

Wow, KO could score a triple here!

He'd have a job, a place to stay, and health care too.

Only in America.

In all fairness, as a political analyst and commentator, Keeth made a mediocre sportscaster.
