5. NOT too Brite-horn?
Tue Apr 3, 2012, 08:03 PM
Apr 2012

And your point is WHAT, Mr. Not-too-Brite-horn? That Keith's ego is bigger than yours?... and that you're beet-red jealous? Perhaps, just perhaps, when someone says "Keith, you're gonna be half-partner at Current" it implies you'll have SOME control over your work environment? Ahhhhh Yes: But we must contrast those nasty angry egotistic Liberal commentators (like Keith Olbermann) with.....the quiet, humble, self-effacing, ego-less, almost Budda-like qualities of Conservative commentators.....who, no doubt, bicycle to work, so that they might not offend THEIR limo drivers. Chill out Right Wingers, and just take two more Viagras. But do me a favor- and DON'T call me in the morning . The real question we should be asking is : Did CurrentTV simply USE Keith to gain attention and higher ratings? They KNEW what they were getting! Did they lure him with big bucks, and then drop him when they were done? Yes, we all know that Keith injects emotion and passion into his commentary, into his intelligent and incisive reporting, and into his humor....all of which makes his program interesting, as well as informative. He's forceful, honest, and direct: you FEEL his pain, you FEEL his anger, and you FEEL his heart-felt sincerity when he covers a story. And he covers it well. He's NEVER just another talking head! If Keith is absent from CurrentTV, then I too will be absent from CurrentTV. For Keith is one of the best - hands down- as evidenced by his outstanding coverage of OWS during the past year. I wish him well, and hope that he is back on the air soon. We need his unique voice and viewpoint!

I agree with "critics love mediocrity -- Giacomo Puccini" Lots of it displayed by poster Katashi_itto Apr 2012 #34
Puccini was the hitmaker of his day - sorta like the Paul McCartney of the opera Manifestor_of_Light Apr 2012 #35
However your bro is no Puccini :) Katashi_itto Apr 2012 #36
