Oh, Keith, Keith...you are crazy like a fox.
Here I am, thinking you're doing the bravest thing you've ever done in your life by planning a Special Comment about Hillary's campaign tomorrow.

And why? Because of the risk you run.

The risk that the second the word "luck" is off your lips at the end, Hillary will be on the phone to MSNBC.

Following which, well, chances are, given what you mean to them, you won't get the can.

But, like David Shuster, you will be suspended for two weeks.

And that's when it hits me...

You already know this. In fact, you anticipated it.

Because you asked MSNBC for some March vacation last month, but they said no..."Sorry, Keith, looks like this thing's going on after Super Tuesday after all. We need you."

You were so disappointed. Damn!

And then, you realized there was still a way.

In fact, even as you refine the wording of your Special Comment, you're packing your bags for Tampa.

You sly dog.

Have fun, and if you catch the Yankees-Indians game on the 16th, I'd appreciate knowing how my boys looked.

Disclaimer: This was, of course, a joke. I was just kidding. I wish you all the best, Keith. And I'd much rather see you on vacation than suspended. Or fired. Honest.

3. You really really need to put this in
some of the anti Keith threads. Might scare away from calling and complaining and getting him time off. :rofl:

5. Of course, you do realize that what this means is that even if Keith has legit vacation planned
starting tomorrow, or even Monday...that the first thing people are going to say is:

"His Special Comment got him FIRED!"

Tip: Watch Daily Kos today. Betcha anything he offers a preview there long before it airs.

6. That would work
Imagine the number of people who would flood MSNBC's switchboard wanting KO back. It could knock out phone service on the east coast for several hours.

7. West Coast Too
I know I would be on the phone, computer anything it would take to tell them to keep Keith on the air telling the truth. It makes me mad just to think they would do anything to him because of his Hillary comment tonight. I can't wait to hear it.
