FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, U.N. AMBASSADOR ALAN KEYES TO JOIN MSNBC

“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” to Air Weeknights at 10PM, ET Beginning January 21st

SECAUCUS, NJ- January 7, 2002- Former Presidential Candidate and Reagan-era U.S. Ambassador at the United Nations, Alan Keyes has joined MSNBC as host of a new one-hour commentary show, “Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,” weeknights at 10PM, ET. Erik Sorenson, president and general manager, MSNBC, made the announcement today.

“We're excited that Alan is bringing his highly-regarded grasp of global issues and his larger-than-life personality to MSNBC," said Sorenson. "This network has distinguished itself as the cable news channel for smart young viewers interested in knowing about their world. Alan's deep knowledge, incredible capacity to frame debate, and provocative views will be a great addition to an already-terrific primetime lineup.”

“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” is a live one-hour talk show providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the issues of the day from politics, economics to the various cultural hot buttons. The program will originate from Washington, D.C.

Keyes received his Ph.D in Government Affairs in 1979 from Harvard University. He served during the Reagan Administration in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before being appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1983. He was the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985-87.

Alan Keyes is also a two-time Republican presidential candidate and two-time Republican Senate nominee from the state of Maryland. His greatest public exposure came most recently through his dynamic and much extolled performances in the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates.

For the past 10 years, Keyes has reached a nationwide audience each day through his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Alan Keyes Show: America’s Wake-Up Call.” He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America’s Moral Destiny, with a third to be released soon. Keyes and his wife of 19 years, Jocelyn, reside in Maryland with their three children: Francis, Maya and Andrew.

I am not done with her; even if we argue on here, at least WE are of the same mindset; Ada is NOT.

EV, you told me you weren't going to post to me anymore; I'd like for you to keep your promise.

There is a strange co-dependency going on here, and it is powerful.

It's called being loyal to your friends. It's not that hard a concept.

Actually it seems like a reasonable division of labor, you criticize Keyes, we criticize Bush, that makes it easier, and less confusing for everyone!

Nothing on earth or in heaven could keep you from criticizing Keyes...so why do you even ask?

EV, it was a reasonable question. You were emphatic that no one is above criticism. I don't recall much criticism of Keyes by most of you.

OTOH I have seen Bush supporters criticize various things when they don't agree with Bush. You may not see it so much on a Keyes thread but it certainly appears in the forum on other threads. Very few Bushies assign near perfection to the man. The same cannot be said for Keyesters.

Actually I have dealt with anarcho-libertarians off and on for 35 years now, and I still do not understand how any of them think!

Yeah right. I've said a hundred times, "Alan Keyes is far from perfect". Why would I be so stupid as to expand on that, when y'all would just use my statement to further demonize our fellow Republican.

Since you bring up other threads...I have also consistently praised the President (since before he was President) when he does things I agree with or consider admirable.

The better question would be, Cite and source just one instance when a leading FReeping Keyester has (A) been confronted with any of the many specific instances which have been cited (and sourced) of Keyes' arrogance, pettiness, legalistic hyper-criticism, self-serving and condescension, (B) acknowledged it rather than rationalizing it, and (C) displayed credible and significant concern over this destructive, divisive, and cause-dismantling trait.

Don't you think?

Yeah, but that's only because he has a fictitious name.

The thing is, when I read what she posted, I thought the EXACT same thing......then when I saw your post, I just lost it.

Subtle or not, it was great!

I don't think that Gaius Marius thought that L. C. didn't exist, but I get too far off topic, sorry!

I may have mentioned it before, but I had a knock-down, drag-out fight with A J Armitage on his notorious anti-Bush, anti-Ashbrook vanity thread back a couple of months ago, in which I praised Bush and Ashbrook as our leaders, and denounced the traitors who did not back them in the war! Then AJ went and got himself banned, and I lost about 300+ pro-Bush posts I could otherwise have pointed to now.

Well.....as they say, "Win some; lose some; some get rained out." You'll have plenty more opportunities.
