Keith is GONE!!!!!

I hadn't been watching my usual MSNBC shows for a while because I don't always control the TV remote so the first I heard about Keith Olbermann leaving the network was from Deb's daughter whom we call Padowan. She told us last Monday, but then we got wrapped up in school and snowstorms and other things in our lives that we forgot to watch.  Sorry Keith. Then I was checking my e-mail and found a link to this video.


As many other reporters and commentators have said, Keith pretty much put MSNBC on the map helping the network became a bastion of liberalism in a vast sea of conservatism. But with Keith no longer with MSNBC that begs the question, who will be the next voice to hoist the ultra conservative jackanapes' by their own petard?  I have no answer to that question.  Except that torch is now passed on to Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Ed Schultz.  Let us hope they can carry on and make us, MSNBC, and especially Keith proud.

All I can say is that I am deeply saddened that this is happened.  When I was able to watch I enjoyed Countdown and I always learned something.  Keith was often able to put into words the emotion I felt over some injustice in the the world or some inane situation that was being blown out of proportion.  He pointed out the absurdities in our world and in our politics.  He helped me to see all manner of injustice and gave me ideas as to how change it if possible.  I hope I am a better person because of him.

Keith, if you ever read this, know that you are greatly missed by one small household in Kansas.  Please don't be gone longer than you have to.
