Affleck really nailed the impersonation, especially the pretentious delivery of the "Special Comment."

1. I thought so, too
Especially the constant change of camera angle.

3. And if KO saw it (and I'm sure he will) he'd find it hysterical.
In case you haven't noticed... the dude had a sense of humor.

4. I have a great sense of humor and would've loved to have seen Keith parodized well.
This, however, just didn't cut it for me.

14. Actually, no, that has nothing to do with it.
I love seeing people I love parodized. But I want to see it done WELL.

Now THIS guy does it WELL:

5. Yeah. I love Keith...
but he gets a little *too* self-righteous sometimes.

A little dramatic indignation goes a long way.

12. Yeah, it's odd to agree with someone, but have a desire to smack him, too.
I understand a big part of his success is his flamboyance that really borders on self-parody, just like with O'Reilly. It makes both of them huge piles of cash, so who am I to tell them to turn it down a notch? Maddow is way superior, IMO.

13. I have that feeling a lot.
Just had it the other day with Charles Barkley.

And I totally agree about Maddow!

15. After Obama, Rachel is the newcomer of the year IMO
2008 is the year of Obama and the year of Rachel Maddow!

7. I love Keith, he saved me from jumping off a bridge after '04!
It was a good imitation, though, Affleck is really good.
