MSNBC fired Phil Donahue on Tuesday, abruptly ending the veteran talk show host's return to television after six months of poor ratings.

Great! I haven't heard about a good axe murder in a long time!

... oh. Nevermind.

I wonder what this will mean for Al Franken and others who were going to create the more left-minded talk radio programs...

I really liked Phill, I'm sorry to see him go. I watched him often. I find him intelectually honest, intelegent and a decent man.

I hope Chris Mathews doesn't get the boot. He and Pat Caddell are two of the best on cable.

I think Phil just can't carry a serious news show by himself. I would like to see him as a news analyst for maybe FoxNews. Go around show to show extolling progressive viewpoints.

BWA!HA!HA!HA!HA!

Poor Phil.

I often found him self-righteous and fat-headed [Much like himself.--Ed.] Shut up!

Anyways, he should co-anchor or co-comment on a program. Actually, the Fox "Weekly World" News is not a bad idea at all.
