Wanted: Left-leaning political commentator with on-air talent immense enough to excuse workplace tensions that seem to follow him at every turn.

KO is the perfect fit for the New Fox News. He could be a panelist on Special Report, would fit right in with the new NY Times panelist they have.

Roger A said they were moving away from Beck and Palin because they labeled them(I paraphrase)

Keith Ob..... would be perfect fit for Fox News

Within a month, I predict that we get reports that Kieth is wandering around the streets of Manhattan in his bathrobe with a cardboard box TV over his head ranting gibberish.

I am not so sure. If the “news” about politicians in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tri-state area is accurate, there would appear to be quite a lucrative career awaiting homopresstitutes.

Someday Keith is going to be standing in Times Square or outside the Lincoln Tunnel in 90 degree heat wearing a tattered overcoat, unkempt hair, a bottle of Thunderbird in his hand and a full beard screaming obscenities at the world.

I don't know. I think "progressives" have a lot of a-hole openings.

Watching the Left implode one lunatic at a time is at least some consolation for seeing RINO Corporate hire Willard as the new store manager............
