Wow, do I have Keith withdrawal!
I am looking forward to him being back on the air.

I love Rachel also!

1. L O'D is trying to assume Keith's brand of indignation
and his use of inflection and the degree with which he raises his voice. Specifically, referencing a trailer where he's indignant about he size of the magazinne clips used in the AZ shooting of Gabby Gifford.

Meh, it's not him - he should just stick to his own style.

2. Agreed...Lawrence just doesn't have the irony and the humor, IMO.

9. Lo Doh's shtick is to be patronizing.
I wish he'd disappear too.

14. Meh. Not a fan of any of the TV jabbering class, regardless of political bent. n/t

3. Yep, same here...No one but Keith, IMO, has this great brand of intellect and
great ironic humor....I miss him too and look forward to his appearance on Current TV.

Ditto on Rachel...I felt the two of the, side by side like bookends, were a perfect compliment

to one another...One couldn't really replace the other.

11. Hmmm..
I might reverse that, but the truth is,

they are just different...I think,

generally, Rachel might be more "informative"

but Keith is, well..funny!

6. My wife told me the exact same thing last night
Rachel is great and I try never to miss her show but Keith was always very entertaining and opinionated. Much more of a rabble rouser...

7. I'm sorry, but I'm one of the few people
Who really didn't like Keith. I love Rachel however. She breaks down everything so I can understand it. Very professional.

15. Thank you.
I consider myself center-left. Not what you would call a Kucinich liberal. Liberal on social issues, centrist on economic issues. Interventionist foreign policy.

12. I like Keith, but I liked him more when he was "new" to me.
As time went on, I started to not like some of the bombast. I think it diminished what he was trying to tell us, because he lowered himself to the level of those he sought to berate for their tactics.

It made his "show", more SHOW, and less information.

I have a suspicion that a lot of it had to do with the bosses he had, and their interpretation of what his show was supposed to be, but I always thought he wasted a LOT of time on nonsensical things.

Toward the end of his run, we had more and more of his show on "mute".

I have high hopes for his new venture & can;t wait to see it:)


Welcome to DU :hi:
