And with Trump's recent history of mini-strokes, he's more than welcome to attack until Joe gets sworn in.

That goes for all of us.

It was often Bill O'Reilly (a/k/a Bill Orally), but these days Trump will be a regular winner - even though there will be many excellent candidates for runners-up. Glad to see Olbermann and TWPITW are coming back.

since he has the current news stories first thing every day. Many posts are about getting shelter pets about to die adopted (he loves dogs) and a lot of sports stuff that I don't care about. He also read Thurber aloud during lock down. His biting wit and clever comebacks are priceless. The Closure and The Resistance kept me going in the early days of tRump. This is certainly good news!

Tue Oct 6, 2020, 07:28 PM
Oct 2020

It was called Almost Live, and it was where Bill Nye got his start in media. They used to have a skit that recurred every once in a while called "The Worst Girlfriend In The World."

One of the couplets to the skit's short theme song was

"She's the worst girlfriend in the world

The psycho bitch from hell, yeah, that's the girl."


Seems like it could be reworked to suit.

He was the reason I started watching MSNBC years ago, looked forward to the 8 O'clock slot every night, and especially "The Worst Person In The Wooooorld!"

My situation in life has changed drastically and I have no money to subscribe to YouTube. I hope to see Keith's daily (is it going to be daily?)

I hope some DU'ers post his commentary so those of us who do not have access for whatever reason can hear what he has to say.

My late husband and I looked forward to his daily show during the Bush years. I think he kept us sane during that awful time. What is happening now is far worse.

I know Keith will bring wisdom and insight to the news. I hope I don't miss any of his broadcasts.
Looking forward to this!!!

I loved every moment of his political commentary. But, occasionally he'd go overboard with anger and self righteousness that was off-putting to a lot of people who were susceptible to swing to our side of the argument. And, he chased them away.

We need Keith back in action more than ever. He knows of what he speaks!

Didn't realize that ESPN made that a condition of his employment.

Well, he's got over a year-and-a-half to make up for, and I bet he can't wait to destroy the Fulvous Fuhrer.
