    Britt Hume...

    was a journalist when keith was still dreaming of being a sportscaster. We get that you don't like Fox News.

    Two things I'd like to ask you:

    1. If you could be one of the panelists on Britt Hume's show would you? There's no doubt you have what it takes to argue a point and the interaction between you and Hume would be mesmerizing. I'd happily start a movement to make that happen.

    2. In all your complaining about the press and their failing to cover the buildup of the Iraq war I don't think I've ever heard you complain about their reporting before 9/11. Don't you think that is the more glaring failure? If they had been digging on al queda and making us aware of what was going on it could have been stopped and then Iraq might never have happened.
