Keith Olbermann to do story on Cindy tonight.
According to the newsletter, "A determined mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who has pledged to hold a roadside peace protest near President Bush's ranch until he talks to her said Sunday that she met with the president shortly after her son died."

So, I hope those naysaying DUers are happy now. :evilgrin:

2. That's if he actually does it.

All day yesterday, Anderson Cooper advertised he would do the story on Cindy at Camp Casey - instead, he did a bit on interpreting dreams.

I love Keith, but this is definitely one I will believe when I see it.

:loveya: Keith :loveya:

6. Maybe Kaplan will get fired.
He is the "f"up in their organization - a lunatic with a short fuss.

11. We can hope and pray...

in the company I work for, we pride ourselves on our efficiency and objectivity. There were some in my company who also had outbursts similar to what Kaplan has already done - and were fired.

The fact that Kaplan hasn't been fired as yet gives me pause...

edit: kan't spell effficcieny, I mean eficeincie, I mean, ... thank gawd for spell check!!!

4. I can't help but think that this isn't an altruistic news pursuit
Between the horrible MSNBC blackout on the Sheehan story and the feud between Mr. Olbermann and Rick Kaplan after Monday's Countdown, I think there's a strong possibility this will be on Countdown as an "FU" to Kaplan.

5. Particularly since Keith said the emails were about 99 percent
positive toward his "I QUIT!" story.

Kaplan can kiss my - and Keith's - asses. :kick:

9. Yeah, I saw the "99%" comment...
...but no comment about the Lloyd Grove column.

Interesting....
