[karlrschneider]

11. Heh....oh yeah. Nite b4 last, was busy last night...

[Kahuna]

3. My screen went black while watching Countdown. It's been off for

about 15 mins. The other stations work.

[rodeodance]

4. sorry to hear that. --can you hear?

[rodeodance]

8. talking about Iraqi election -one country but 3 nations

[LSparkle]

5. Do you hear copter blades outside?

[Kahuna]

22. *Snarf* It's the cable box. The other TVs are working..

:D

[HeeBGBz]

7. It works for me.

So far, so good.

[Eric J in MN]

9. Call the cable company. Ask what's up. (nt)

nt

[Jacobin]

6. "Dangling Participles" and "stiff reporting" on Jim/Jeff's website

KO is priceless.

Go Keith

[rodeodance]

12. no clear winner--parties will have to bargain with each other.

[EFerrari]

10. Geeze, who is HIS daddy? Hope he's got good security :(

[Fridays Child]

13. I'm just now catching on to the corporation name, "Bedrock."

Guckert chose it because he's such a "rock in bed," right? Geez, sometimes, I am so slow.

[rodeodance]

15. says WH had a sigh of relief that there was no majority for the clergy

[rodeodance]

17. talking of the unmanned drones--Iran filing a protest against their use

The US has no formal relationship with Iran.

[Fridays Child]

23. Self Delete

I get it now

[Edgewater_Joe]

14. Not To Mention THE DAILY SHOW Is Back New Tonight

Gawd are Stewart & Co. gonna have a FIELD DAY with Gaygate -- THIS is the very definition of "appointment television!"

[Jacobin]

16. MustSeeTV. I'm TiVoing Daily Show tonight

Bound to be a classic

[rodeodance]

18. talking of the memo--13 pages of proposal to elimate al-quida

[rodeodance]

19. Scottie M. saying that 'there were some ideas put forth, but no PLAN"

[rodeodance]

20. said WH (via Condi) denied there was a warning before and now deny

it again. Well, it seems to be working as no one is really challenging the WH.

[goodboy]

25. yeah...except the memo said the word,"PLAN" lying bitch

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. keth olberman...an oasis

int the desert wasteland of cable "news". who would have thought a sportscaster could be so cool?

[rodeodance]

24. the Jeff G. story MUST be next don't you think?

[CatWoman]

26. yup

it's number one on the Countdown :D

[rodeodance]

27. now talking how Cuba has banned smoking in public places. Cigars

anyone?

[rodeodance]

29. Simian ancestors --and our natural ability to for fan clubs.

[AlCzervik]

28. Keith Olbermann+Jon stewart=sanity

[oasis]

54. Not he's not. I would have run the story. But thanks for the adulation.

:-)

[goodboy]

30. keith just said #1 story is V-day....WTF??????????????//

[rodeodance]

31. yeah I heard that? maybe mean not much of a news day and Jeff story

not much?????????

[rodeodance]

32. or maybe something about Jeff and love??--uuu..mmmm

[rodeodance]

34. Valentine's day stinks (per KO).

[oasis]

37. That's not all that stinks. This switcheroo has a distinct scent of Rove.

He got to MSNBC hq and put the hammer down.

[rodeodance]

42. by why announce it as the # 1 countdown story?

[oasis]

43. Because that's what was on deck until Rove's phone call to MSNBC execs.

[karlrschneider]

41. I TAPED IT ALL, He DEFINITELY SAID GANNON to be #! !!!!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

Did the producers get a call from Rove in the last half hour?
:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

[rodeodance]

44. talking of the passenger who had the butcherknife and got through

security.
The women had taken it on a blind date and says had forgotten to take it our of her handback. well.......

[goodboy]

33. too good to be true, I guess....

[rodeodance]

36. if alone tonight--current CPR--mouth to mouth is useless.

[rodeodance]

38. well, where the heck is the Jeff story?

[rodeodance]

40. people think being alone is abnormal. but not evryone fears singledom

[goodboy]

39. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! I'll put the dummy away now....where's my wife?

[Lex]

35. Well damn.

:wtf:

[rodeodance]

45. no Jeff story as promised. You said you had it on tape--didn't you?

[karlrschneider]

46. Yup...about 10 minutes into the show, he said it would be Number ONE

just replayed it. Something stinks BAD here.
:grr:

[rodeodance]

47. Thanks for the tape--lets all email him and ask what the heck!!

[karlrschneider]

48. I just did, but I spelled "heck" a little differently...

:grr:

[rodeodance]

49. te he, --here is the address. Keith Olbermann, [e-mail]

[karlrschneider]

52. Oh thanks, I should have included it...

[e-mail]

[JohnnyCougar]

53. Hey...be polite...Keith's done a lot for us...

[karlrschneider]

55. Well, I wasn't all that IMpolite, asked him "what the hell is going on"

sumpin' like that...
:eyes:

[SheepyMcSheepster]

50. the story was number one in the weird/fun news section

where they he had 3 weird news stories, i forget what the bit is called.

[rodeodance]

51. KO scrapped the story for some reason and I want to know why so I

emailed him.

[TacticalPeek]

56. From Olbermann's blog today:

It’s premeditated, historical fraud, but you will not see Hume nor Fox News backpedal from it (as Jordan did for his misdemeanor), nor apologize for it (as Jordan did), nor save their masters from its shame (as Jordan did — of course there is no shame at Fox).

The Ward Churchill case, of course, is the most complex of them all (until the saga of “Jeff Gannon” resurfaces some time this week, when it could turn into the political scandal of the year — more in a subsequent blog).



:evilgrin:

Political scandal of the year? I could go for that.

"The scandal-plagued Bush administration"

[crispini]

57. I'm watching the rerun, and I think this is a total misunderstanding.

The opening credits quite plainly stated that the #1 story would be the "we hate valentine's day" story.

[merh]

58. Could they have edited the version that was shown as a re-run?

karl said he taped it and it showed that it would be a story. :shrug:

[crispini]

59. Gannon was covered as #1 of the "top three newsmakers"--

OP misunderstood, IMO.....

[merh]

60. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I must go post an apology

in the Keef thread! So sorry for the confusion.
