At least Keith admits he's a fool.

Keith should have enough funds to invest in himself instead of relying on others money.....

Cmon Keith, lets see you be the boss for a change......

And even if he did it would probably fail. His track record is horrible.

Fucking egomaniac, whining about the set he has to endure.

Hard to believe that the high point of my day was watching this diva on TV. As far as I'm concerned Current TV is better off without all his little tantrums. MSNBC doesn't seem to have suffered from his departure. Rachel Maddow is twice the political commentator that KO will ever be and Ed Schultz and Lawrence O"Donnell have grown a lot since Olbermann left the network. And MSNBC's weekend morning shows are arguably the best TV on anywhere.

I predict Gore and Hyatt will survive just fine without him. And as much as I once enjoyed watching him I won't miss him. Spitzer is probably smarter.

being gently tough and reservedly optimistic in her approach.....I still believe that they could expand their pundits on all news channels....

KNOWING he'd be incommunicado if he again quit, it's now clear his ego outweighs his sincerity as to pounding the Right. THAT'S what made us think less of him now. And as you say, there's plenty of good commentators in our corner of late. I WANT to see Current survive. We need every outlet of truth we can get - but Prima Donnas are a decidedly conservative thing. We don't need them in our corner.

Cenk's biggest fan is Cenk, which used to really bother me when he was on MSNBC. Always reminding watchers to TIVO him, cause I guess Neilson measures that crap. Hopefully he'll learn a lesson that KO hasn't been able to do - watch who you screw up on the way up, cause you might meet them on the way down - or however the cliche goes. It may be too late.

The last straw for me is when Cenk kept bugging folks to vote for him to have a humongous billboard of his face in Times Square in some kind of contest. Seriously. He must of lost, never followed up on it. I just don't think about him or Current. Same with KO - maybe Cenk jinxed him - if I believed in that kind of shit.

I actually enjoyed Spitzer, he's very astute compared to most talking heads. Dumb about his personal life with his stupid sex fuck-ups, but very good at asking tough questions. Too bad he can't be on MSNBC, Current is kinda like Oprah's network - going down fast, which is a shame.

And no way was Spitzer going to CNN aka Fox Lite - another subject for another time. Spitzer was especially good after they dumped Parker who was just taking up space, imo. I also agree with your assessment of Ed and Lawrence. And gotta have some respect for the Rev Al. I enjoy Melissa Harris-Perry. Is it me or does anyone have a clue what Dylan R is always ranting about?? Something about the Fed is all I can figure out, wtf is he talking about the rest of the time? Maybe hard to understand cause he never stops talking or maybe just me. I have no idea how he even breathes.

No DVR in the room where I usually watch, so I'd switch during commercials during Rachel over to Spitzer. Hmmm - wonder what effect, if any, this will have on Cenk and Jennifer Grantham (sp?) - I do like her when she was making the rounds with her book. Damn, hopefully Gore & Co. can get the channel to go HD. Hurts my eyes, literally. Silly whiny point, I know, but it is annoying.

Good luck to KO regardless, he'll need it.

I am still grateful to him for helping me feel less helpless during the latter part of the Bush years. Knowing that someone on a real news channel was actually talking about what was going on, and that hundreds of thousands of other people were watching him too, gave me hope that things would someday get better.

I am also immensely grateful to him for mentoring Rachel Maddow, in particular, and for guiding MSNBC to the left. He made a huge difference for the better. The world is a better place because of what he's done.

However. Does a mature adult start off his statement with "I'd like to apologize... for the failure of Current TV"? What an ungracious and petulant thing to say. I've always believed the stories about how he was difficult to work with, but I just lost a lot of respect for him with that statement. Current is still on the air. It's as if he either hopes or expects it to fail simply because he's not associated with it any more... either way, his statement displays a huge lack of class.

I'll always appreciate his steadfastness in the days before MSNBC made the deliberate decision to lean left, and I wish him well, but his behavior in this situation just makes me sad.
