[graywarrior]

Sweet.

Life is so empty withOUT Keith.

[LSparkle]

1. OMG I hope he doesn't (apologies in advance) bust a gut over this

Howard Fineman (or was it Craig Crawford?) was even joking that Shrub's last speech caused Keith's emergency appendectomy.

[tridim]

2. Proof that his genius doesn't come from his appendix.

Go Keith! :)

[Raffi Ella]

Can't wait to hear what he has to say about all this tonight.

“And that leads me to come to this conclusion: that most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group like Move-On-Dot-Org — or **more** afraid of irritating them, than they are of irritating the United States military.”
