I think it's safe to say Shankapotomus Mar 2012 #16

I agree, he needs to form his own media company to do what he does, Cleita Mar 2012 #18

My guess is that he's not really liberal and Al Gore saw through him ecstatic Mar 2012 #34

That just makes no sense at all, if anything he was too liberal for Gore, A DLC alumni. /nt Dragonfli Mar 2012 #69

I had a hard time getting past the "we can only afford a black screen behind you" DefenseLawyer Mar 2012 #17

Agree. I will always remember him fondly for that. senseandsensibility Mar 2012 #36

It seemed that KO was put in the dark closet of a set when they brought in Cenk nadine_mn Mar 2012 #53

Yep! KO will always have a place in my heart for that. nt valerief Mar 2012 #64

Oh, well... won't be watching Current now. Fawke Em Mar 2012 #19

That "Thurber thing" zappaman Mar 2012 #58

I liked the Thurber Thing. It was a nice way to relax after stressful news week AND it was always Justice wanted Mar 2012 #73

Love KO. Done with Current n/t Greybnk48 Mar 2012 #55

I'm not suprised, I like KO but he has a big swelled head and seems to be very difficult Raine Mar 2012 #56

Too bad. cash__whatiwant Mar 2012 #59

To repeat my snark from another thread: I have a friend banned from every bar in Boston Recursion Mar 2012 #78

Be interesting to see what he does now marlakay Mar 2012 #62

He's gonna sue Gore and current tv Broderick Mar 2012 #63

He's filing suit against Current TV? Canuckistanian Mar 2012 #65

It is an election year and Gore is a DLC alumni, I expect Cenk will be next Dragonfli Mar 2012 #71

Gore has not been DLC for years. Jennicut Mar 2012 #97

Yes and liebermann was a solid progressive choice for a running mate, Let me shift paradigms Dragonfli Apr 2012 #98

Why was he fired? JVS Mar 2012 #72

The peanut gallery is saying "big headed egomaniac" (but I don't think they like him) they also Dragonfli Mar 2012 #74

Do you remember when he got fired from ESPN? Recursion Mar 2012 #79

No, I don't watch sports shows, never have. I remember msnbc and it's purge Dragonfli Mar 2012 #82

According to Keith it's Al Gore's greed and lack of ethics. Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #84

I was considered impossible to work with because I wouldn't build Dragonfli Mar 2012 #85

So just to be clear, you agree with Keith that it is Al Gore's greed and lack of ethics Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #86

No, I think it is the business it'self that is based on greed and lack of ethics Dragonfli Mar 2012 #87

But as we both know, that is NOT what Keith said. nt Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #88

I think he just can't separate the man from the standard business practices of networks. Dragonfli Mar 2012 #89

So he has all this ability, but he can't do that? Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #91

I couldn't repair a foundation in the projects with bad materials either Dragonfli Mar 2012 #92

So we're back to Al Gore asking him to compromise his ethics? Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #93

You know all you have to do is read what I write, reading all that crap into it must be hard work. Dragonfli Mar 2012 #94

I can read his own words via twitter. nt Snake Alchemist Mar 2012 #95

Then why do you have so much trouble reading my words? Without adding crap I don't say? /nt Dragonfli Apr 2012 #99

if you are agreeing with Keith, then that is what your saying Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #100

meh, current seems to be orphaned anyways NuttyFluffers Mar 2012 #75

Keith seems like the type who doesn't do well working for others cherish44 Mar 2012 #80

next stop...FOX DemocratAholic Mar 2012 #81

KO is a "bad Democrat" that will now work for FOX? well at least you made me laugh a little Dragonfli Mar 2012 #83

Not as free a hand as he thought, imho. RUMMYisFROSTED Mar 2012 #90
