“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.
Keyes joins MSNBC’s weeknight line-up, which also includes:
 “The Abrams Report” at 6PM, ET: The latest headlines and investigation on the American strike against terrorism.

“America at War with Lester Holt” at 11PM, ET: The only live news-hour which recaps the days headlines and the most recent developments in the war on terrorism.
Then do you care to tell us where you got that 797 number, since your last post was only 459?
Ah, not to put too fine a point on it, but isn't he?
It's not unlike what a number of people here do (by calling people names, implying they are stupid, and signing off with terms of endearment), come to think of it. Maybe Keyes' supporters are modeling him...? Again, just a guess. I just don't know. (I'm not being sarcastic. I really mean it. I honestly don't know why people here do that, or why Alan Keyes does that.)
Anyway, there's another bump for you, Rowdee!
You're right. It's my problem. In fact, I must be an idiot, because only an idiot could be bored by Alan Keyes' pontificating and his obnoxious grin. I would take your advice and see a doctor, but I think I'm quite beyond hope. Thank you for your concern, Registered.
Well, it appears that the person with the greatest sense of humor on FR didn't like it, but I did. (I think President Bush is great and I DO plan on campaigning for him again, but I was able to see the humor in SNL skits about "strategery".)
I'll say it again: You nailed it!
However, it perplexes me that he has become a source of conservative division. It seems to me that he is pretty conservative on most of the economic and social issues, so what is all the fuss about?
Is it really just that he is at times tangentially critical of policymakers like GWB who temper their conservativism with reality? Who cares? Bush can handle that.
I look forward to seeing what Keyes does with his own show. Who knows, maybe I'll quit watching after the first couple of shows, but I'm going to give him a chance!
..."Then do you care to tell us where you got that 797 number, since your last post was only 459?"....
Without checking on the full name of the other thread--the one that was about a RUMOR--, I do recall the name of the thread started with something like PAGE SIX. If you need it, I'll be happy to try to locate it for you, though, if you did a self search, I'm pretty sure you'll find the thread--you posted quite a bit to it...and certainly you were involved with the flame out just before JimRob locked the door.
I believe after 470 posts, you have captured the true essence of what is going on!
And I'll take your advice -- and I hope the rest of the Bush harpies will, too -- who cares!
It is the way he criticizes Bush that bothers me. He is not unlike John McCain in that regard; he clearly has no respect for President Bush, and he is quite graceless about it in my opinion. It's not the subtance of his criticism as much as it is the lack of graciousness - and that he appears to see himself as morally and intellectually superior to the President. I find his attitude pompous and off-putting, to say the least. Give me President Bush. He's a normal person.
...and is it shocking and shameful?

PS -- I love you, man! Don't get mad!
PPS -- Actually, you're wrong anyway, about me trying to be a tad humorous. I was aiming at 'WAY humorous. But I had a point, and I stand by it.
Dan
PS -- some do take Keyes, IMHO, far too seriously; but none so much so as he himself, more's the pity
Let's just give the man a chance.
LOL! Careful Dan, Miss Marple doesn't appreciate this kind of satire -- prepare to be admonished!
Thanks for bumping this announcement! Hope you'll be watching the show!
Regards,
This is just about as funny and silly as it gets.
Yeah. Next thing they'll be predicting that Keyes will call Bush "worse than Hitler!" LOL!
Let's see, on this thread Keyes has already been called a bozo and compared to Mussolini by Keyes-bashers. Silly? Yes. But funny? Well yes, but not in the way they intended to be!
Keep smilin'. Soon a strong Pro-life voice will be given 4 hours a week on the mainstream media. If some pro-life conservatives here are going this hysterical, imagine how the liberals must be messing themselves!
:-D
