[Coexist]

11. What great quotes they are showing

Brian Lamb doesn't seem to like him too much.

[Catchawave]

14. Lamb reminds me of that Lipton guy

bland...bland...bland :D

[Captain Hilts]

31. Lamb is deliberately bland. nt

[marions ghost]

46. yeah Lamb's doing Ok...

He's giving Keith a chance to ramble which he rarely gets to do....to exercise that sly wit and perverse humor...and it's so refreshing to see someone giving direct answers instead of hemming and hawing.

[Greylyn58]

12. Keith is doing Great!!!

and 15 minutes in he mentions "Ted/Bill"!! :woohoo:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. This is one smart, articulate guy.

"Moral force and money do not mix." Talks about how some of his bosses hate any criticism of the Bush admin. but his ratings are improving.

Oh, and by the way... It seems he's single....

[oasis]

15. Gotta love the guy.

:loveya:

[crispini]

16. "Wanna try the internet?"

I think that rated an extra chuckle from KO. :rofl: :evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

27. Bet he immediately thought of the KOEBies :)

[crispini]

29. And subvocalized, "hell, no, never the internet!"

:rofl:

[Greeby]

17. ho boy , he just said he's single

*hides from the stampede of the KOEB*

[crispini]

19. You think we didn't KNOW?

[crispini]

22. Pssssht. That's not old!

[oasis]

26. He's an elderly gent.

[crispini]

28. Hey, whippersnapper, you don't know how old I am....

:rofl:

[oasis]

30. I'm much older than KO and likely older than you. KO is a perfect blend

of age, wisdom and charm.

[crispini]

Yup.

:thumbsup:

[oasis]

34. Brian just showed an old clip of Keith saying something about "The elderly

mah jong crowd".

How dare he. :spank: :-)

[Greylyn58]

23. Hey, he and I are the same age

I think that's just wonderful!!!!

[Catchawave]

:wink:

[leftchick]

25. he is single???

how is that possible??? :wow:

[Coexist]

18. Here is the text of Keith's speech at Cornell he was referencing

http://www.news.cornell.edu/campus/Olbermann_speech.html

<snip>
About three weeks ago I awakened from my stupor on this subject and told my employers that I simply could not continue doing this show about the endless investigation and the investigation of the investigation, and the investigation of the investigation of the investigation. I had to choose what I felt in my heart was right over what I felt in my wallet was smart. I did not tell them they had 24 hours. I did not threaten them. I let them balance for themselves their professional and moral forces and set their timetable. I await their answer. Of course, I am not buying any new furniture for my home.

I heard an interview the other day with a brilliant British television screenwriter named Dennis Potter. He was ruminating on society and TV from a position which commands my attention: He knew he had less than three months to live. Potter described the change in society so well that I actually transcribed it. He said that in the mid-80s, quote, "Everything was given, in a sense, its pricetag. And the pricetag became the only gospel. And that gospel, in the end, is a very thin gruel indeed. And if you start measuring humankind in those terms, everything else then becomes secondary, or less important, or, in some sense ... laughable."

So this, ultimately, is my point. You are about to go out there and be confronted with choices. This is a real world and you may actually only be able to do this one time out of 10. But that seems to be about one time more out of 10 than those of us out here are pulling off.

Remember that everything you despise, every evil company, every corrupt politician (and I don't care if you think I mean Bill Gingrich or Newt Clinton) -- every single bad decision that affects life for the worse, has been made by a human being who, because he needed to eat -- or maybe because he was greedy -- or maybe because he hadn't used the spark of humanity that rests inside all of us for so long that it had burned out -- a human being who chose to do what he knew ... was not right.

[pacalo]

47. Ethically, he's right up there with Walter Cronkite. Beautiful speech.

[crispini]

32. It's funny how looking at all of these little snips of the show

makes you realize how damn well produced it is.

[Greylyn58]

33. Yeah it does!!!

:)

[havocmom]

35. Hey, is my dog moonlighting as your dog?

Gads, looks just like the 90 Pound Hound!

Anybody know if KO likes dogs :evilgrin:

[Greylyn58]

45. Do you have a Golden?

Happy to meet another Golden owner. Sheridan is my baby, even at 10 years of age.

[CatWoman]

36. LOLOLOLOL

Now to O'Reilly :rofl:

Worst Person in the World at least 15 times :rofl:

[Greeby]

37. Bill O Reilly, Today's Worst Person In The World

Then, now and forever! :evilgrin:

[crispini]

38. KO is one class act. nt

[Greylyn58]

40. He sure is!!

This interview just confirms why I've been such a huge fan of his for so many years. From his days on ESPN with Dan Patrick through now, he has as always informed and entertained.

I just love him!!! He's the best. :loveya:

[Catchawave]

39. Repeats at 11pm

for those who came late :hi:

[johnaries]

41. Yes! Thank you! Couldn't decide between KO and West Wing.

Picked WW cause I knew they'd run KO again.

[jillan]

43. I am usually a fan of Brian Lamb

But I thought he was kinda condescending to Keith.

Keith did great, but I felt Brian was trying to put him in
a negative light.

I didn't know that story about Keith's accident.:(

[Greylyn58]

44. Keith is kickin-ass again on C-Span

Great interview repeating now on C-Span!!

[Fredda Weinberg]

48. Play the clip at C-Span

http://www.q-and-a.org

They will take note of the traffic.

[medeak]

49. thanks! n/t
