There's been much speculation as to why he left; and to be quite frank, listening in last night on twitter, theorists started sounding like those thruthers. I heard it all last night; from the acquisition of NBC by Comcast, to him getting Rachel Maddow pregnant as as to why he left. But at this point, who knows, right?
The one thing I did think last night, was that Keith's departure opens up an opportunity for someone else. And in my ever present, race-card-carrying self, I see this as an opportunity for a person of color. I mean think about it: on MSNBC's prime-time lineup, there aren't any black, brown, or beige people hosting shows, are there? I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to miss the little stuff like the lack of diversity; the small things make a big difference.
