Good news. Spitzer is really good.

Looks like Keith mea culpa's and is negotiating severance pay. He was past due. Burned out. You can only scream at those in the bubble for so long before you give up. I'm getting there... ;)

He has a history of burning bridges though.  ESPN?  Early on at his stint on Countdown he was a good counter to Fox News and their airheads.  I watched for a while until he became alot like those airheads.  I quit watching him about a year before MSNBC let him go.

He tries too hard to be like Murrow, and his ego is pretty inflated.  He shouldn't have to work the rest of his life with the deals he's negotiated from former employers.

Spitzer isn't bad.  I've taken to watching Ed Schultz here a little, but have all but sworn off pundit TV.  The extremes do us no good, on either side.

The funny thing is that Lawrence O'Donnell is much louder and much more obnoxious than Olbermann ever managed when he was on MSNBC.

I don't watch or listen to Rush.  It's just universally known he's a tool.

As are his equivalents on the left.  FWIW, I don't listen to Rush either.

And as I've stated before, I've pretty much given up on all the pundits.  I've taken to watching Erin Burnett on CNN to some extent also.  Easier to look at.

The sound bites I've heard from Schultz are as bad or worse than Rush.  I wouldn't admit to listening to either.

Nope, it stems from Gweeds obsession over liberal pundits that actually challenge the right's domination of that niche on Fox.

He also has a thing for Rachel Maddow.

Who?  

cuz I also once had a thing for Maddow...until I realized it was because she looked EXACTLY like some other lesbian that I had already had wild, lesbian-prohibitive sex with.

Is it cool that my wife has a crush on her? 

Is it cool to talk about things that would rule me out as a GOP condidate on a thread started by the guy with the racist handle?
