55. Keith has shown himself to be more than willing

to undermine some of our Dem leaders in order to advance his own agenda and his preferred leaders/candidates.

I find that unprofessional, personally offensive and disrespectful to other Dems that have informed but different views. It fosters division and resentment within the party. I don't consider any of that good and it is certainly nothing I care to patronize by watching.

I have no respect for him. Though I admit I might listen to him again if he finds his sorry egotistical ass back on the sports desk. His work history and long string of firings hardly warrant such an opportunity. Regardless of how he tries to spin it, the the one thing all those firings have in common is KO.
