I am watching Countdown tonite - I want to hear what the fill-in says when he starts the show tonite

[jillan]

I'll post it here so you don't need to watch.

It will be very awkward if they don't say anything at all.

[ReverendDeuce]

1. They will say nothing...

Perhaps "Keith Olbermann has the night off..."

[sabrina 1]

2. Thank you, we won't be watching.

[tridim]

3. I'll be pissed if they call it "Countdown" at all.

Countdown is Keith's show.

[SargeUNN]

7. oh it will be called Countdown

until they put a new show in it's place. Keith doesn't have the rights to it and they probably do.

[tridim]

10. "Countdown: With Keith Olbermann"

Does MSNBC own the rights to his fist and last name?

[Gabi Hayes]

15. "Countdown With Keith Olbermann without Keith Olbermann"

they will be discussing what happened...later.

how much later?

[jillan]

28. It was very weird when Tweety said "Countdown with Keith Olbermann is next".

His voice sounded a little funny when he said it.

[SargeUNN]

4. they won't say anything of value

even if the mention a reason it will be vague. Most likely it will be filling in for Keith.

[baldguy]

5. I noticed Matt Lauer's fellatio session with W is on at 8PM on Monday.

Coincidence?

[bdamomma]

12. its sickening how the snakes are coming to surface

[brewens]

6. Keith isn't that stupid. I wonder if he didn't intentionally do that

and let it out. Maybe as a protest or to start a case against the corporate donations. He can be fired but the corporations remain annonymous? Keith may be up to something here and have planned on moving on anyway.

[jillan]

9. That's what I think. Keith is no dummy. He knew the rules and chose to break them.

[bdamomma]

8. who will be a fill in??

Keith was great on election night.

[Justitia]

11. We need ONE person to watch & report, so the rest of us can boycott.

I'd love to know who the guests are tonight!

[bdamomma]

18. I am not watching this show tonite its a new guy

Tony something

[bdamomma]

19. I am not watching this show tonite its a new guy

Tony something

[Jamastiene]

13. Smart idea.

I like they way you think.

[Subdivisions]

14. Will address Keith's delimma within the hour. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

16. Heard that.

I feel a little optimistic.

[HipChick]

17. oh fuck..when did they start doing a countdown to 2010 Presidential elections?

sick of this shit

[bdamomma]

20. who is this guy????

[Justitia]

23. Thomas Roberts - he's one of their daytime newsreaders. -eom

[jillan]

21. Some guy with a quiet voice, same show, same format. I turned it off.

I always wanted to watch Parker-Spitzer!

[blogslut]

22. Mr. Roberts stated they will adress the KO story on the show

Thomas Roberts is one of the MSNBC day anchors.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Well they got their demo

call and petition... yes it is close to their average demo.

That must have surprised them

[jillan]

26. You'll have to tell me - I turned it off.

[blogslut]

37. He gave a generic statement

Very much the boilerplate statement made earlier today from MSNBC. However, at the end of the show, Mr. Roberts expressed that he too, was looking forward to Keith's return.

I hope you're watching Rachel cause she's already teasing us with whatever she's going to say on the KO matter.

[otohara]

29. David Schuster's Replacement

and he's not nearly as good as Schuster.

[Slit Skirt]

24. :yes keith is in the news...blah, blah, blah

they are going to try and justify what they did...glad rachel or odonnel or schultz or ratigan or Cenk didn't jump in to sub....fuck you msnbc

[jillan]

27. did I miss it?

[Tx4obama]

30. We need a NEW channel with Olbermann, Maddow, Cenk, Lawrence, Ed, Schuster, etc. on it ;)

FU MSNBC :)

They should have booted Scarborough and Pat Buchanan.
And ever since Ratigan confessed on air that he's a conservative I turn him off daily!

[Hamlette]

31. I saw the teaser but couldn't watch (because of time) please post what they say about it n/t

[Hamlette]

32. I'm watching now, this guy is hitting the GOP hard

for what its worth.

Have we heard ANYTHING from Keith?

[Raine]

33. He seems OK nt

[Slit Skirt]

35. they could put god himself on...and I won't watch till they fix it

[sabrina 1]

34. No one hits the GOP harder than Keith,. And where was this guy

during the Bush years when it took guts to hit them hard.

Keith did it when no one else had the courage. I will not be watching Keith's show unless he's on it.

The lack of loyalty to our own on the left is the #1 reason why we cannot win.

One thing about Conservatives, when someone goes into the trenches for them, they never forget. One of the few things that I can't help wishing we could emulate. No wonder too, that not many people will got to bat for the left. They know they will be thrown under the bus as soon as the going gets tough.

[Hamlette]

38. do you follow that same rule with Obama?

"The lack of loyalty to our own on the left is the #1 reason why we cannot win."

From what I see on DU is if you support Obama and his failure to give you a DADT pony you are an Obamabot and evil yourownself.

Might be misdirected to say it about you so I"ll throw it out there for those who think the dems are at fault for last Tuesday because they did not go far enough.

I too would like to see more loyalty, and realism, from dems.

[Tx4obama]

36. Rachel Maddow sez she is going to talk about the craziness during her show. n/t
