58. I never cared much for Keith.

Regardless of what the main stream media reported; what Keith always represented to me was that he was the liberal blow hard to counteract all of conservative blow hards.

He talked so fast and got winded and I thought: this is not how the liberals should respond to the conservative blow hards.

Don't get me wrong. He made good points, it really was the drama associated with what he was saying that I disapprove of. I'd rather he calmly and concisely made his points. I expect it is this overreacting that has him on the outs right now.

I'd like to see him come back and behave calmly while on air. I think if he did that; he'd gain a large audience of independents. The way he behaved even before he was switching around jobs made him to easy a target for right wing ridicule.

He needs to get his ego in check so he isn't compared to Charlie Sheen.
