The Scottie Who Knew Too Much

So, there we were, just sitting there eating the black bean chili that I had just made ( the secret is just the tiniest pinch of cinnamon at the very end..) Not going to do our norm Keith , then Rachel, and on non Friday's Lawrence, but tonight we are going to shake things up and watch a movie.

The Ghost Writer

All kinds of big stars, the creepiest beach house you have ever seen and it was a big old bomb here in the U.S. , but that is neither here nor there. When you get a movie on Apple Tv it takes a few minutes to load, and then you can watch at will, but lately they have been having gaps... freezing for a bit.. The thing is you really need to let it load for a while , and then start watching. SO, we flip over to watch the end of Keith, like we always do. Worst Person in the World, Friday's with Thurber, et al....then WHAT ?!?!

WHAT ?!?!

Some sort of freakish joke? Did I miss something? Neil and I just looked at each other, and both went online....How, what?? It took about 10 seconds for facebook to explode... a good 10 min before anyone else caught on... Keith. Just. Walked......

Now the thing is, this was SO not the movie to be watching as all of this happened.. all clandestine and cloak and dagger stuff.... Your brain goes to all the reasons this was going on. 24 hours later no body still is saying much, Keith is walking with a dump truck full of money, but can't be on the air for an unknown period of time.

Instantly the boo-birds were out for both sides " Ill never watch msnbc again! " " Good riddance to the wind bag" it got much much worse... Keith is NOT popular amomng the fox set.  I stayed away from all Murdoch media today, other than checking out what the Post had to say ( it was not nice ) and you KNOW that the crowing will be in full force Monday when the fox night time set comes back on.... I just hate it when they win.

Yes, he was just a talking tv head, and the line up at msnbc is still way way progressive and lefty and all that, but he was a light house in all the media fog. Not as cerebral as Rachel, but more .. passionate. In a time when the right goes farther and farther out into crazy land, dragging " the left" more and more to the center , Keith was a voice of old school truth to power, liberalism... and someone that I will miss a great deal. I'll update if and when I find out more.

Anderson Cooper talked about it on his show at 11:00 pm and wow, a lot of folks in the media really do not like Keith. I just don't get it, at all...
