everywhere he's worked. From lashing out at co-workers to personally attacking
Bill O'Reilly and all things Fox, it's obvious Keith is a train
wreck waiting to happen. And like all train
wrecks, people might tune in out of morbid curiosity,
but they eventually tune out, as evidenced by Keith's recent ratings
decline. In the meantime, we hope he enjoys his paranoid view from the
bottom of the ratings ladder
and wish him well on his inevitable trip to oblivion."

him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer
offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him
up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins
to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer
of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (–James 5: 13-16)
