MSNBC is hiring Keyes as a commentator, giving him a live one-hour talk show. Boy, could you knock ME over with a feather. This is prime evidence that although most media people are liberal, that they smell the wind changing and hey, ratings are ratings.

Keyes, who ran for President in 1996 and 2000, is Conservative with a capital C, heavily into social issues and to the right of me (believe it or not) on a number of them, although I have always been a fan of his. I would not have been more surprised at his being hired by MSNBC than if CBS News had hired G. Gordon Liddy as an anchorman.

This should be really good. I can't wait to see what kind of ratings he gets.
