Wow - 2 must see interviews. I saw George Carlin when he performed here a few months ago. Can't wait.

Twisted Krista , I saw George Carlin 40 years ago - wasn't funny then. Has he learned more than 7 words you can't say on TV ?

Everyone needs to watch Valerie. Asa matter of fact, Keith ought to get Bob Novac on the same show. Never happen because he's not interested in the truth. Ask her about the declassified memo where she did recommend Joe Wilson for the trip to Niger. She definately lied before the Senate committe , was not covert at the time either. Ask the tough questions Keith , come on ,show everyone what a man you are. Otherwise you'll be just another puss in the democrat party .

Hillary would give back unconstitutional

Doesn't that fall under the heading of Decision 08...

Way to go Keith George Carlin YES!!!!!!!!! At seventy the man still has it. Have seen him in concert many many times. And I was able to see him in an unusual format,"An Evening With George Garlin"where he sat and talked about his life with the small intimate audience taking questions,very informal,very insightful.

Two excellent guests.
Great booking!!

Oh, woe is me. < weeps softly into hands > I won't be able to watch it, tonight or any other night in the near future. :-(

You see, Keith, my wife just switch us from cable to fios and our fios provider does not offer msnbc in our area. I know, I was shocked. Everything is the same but msnbc is missing. What gives? And I HAVE tried watching Countdown online, but it's just not the same.

Can you talk to your bosses, Keith? Maybe they can figure out a way to stream msnbc's programming "live" over the net. You know, the way Air America and NPR does with their radio feed.

Please, please, please, PLEASE!!! talk to them. I want to watch Countdown and Hardball the way God intended. in one 60 minute period (with commercials).

I'd point out the hypocrisy of a doofus fan of the right daring to challence the manliness,of, well...anybody. But there wouldn't be much point.

Heck, the only real men left in the RNC are Ron Paul, Chuck hagel, and Ann Coulter.

No REAL woman has an adam's apple like that.

Started reading Plame's book last night. (Good thing I went to my local Barnes & Noble to buy it -- didn't have it out at 7 p.m. Had to ask for it, but when they brought me my copy, they brought out a stack for the table, too). Only got through the first chapter (I have a 3 year old -- could take me months to read the whole thing). Anyway, was fascinated by the amount of CIA redactions. I understand a lot of it, but did they really have to redact what she ordered at a restaurant one night on her first tour of duty? Seems a little over-the-top. She and Joe will be on Larry King Live as well, if you can stand to listen to Larry's inane interview style.

They just announced a second fatality; why we don't CLOSE I don't know. My 50-mile drive in the gusty winds, smoke-filled skies and ash-filled air will be terrifying!!

How about using MSNBC video on your puter? Click on any of the video links and they'll play. You can specify a particular show like Countdown and select all the segments you want to view. BTW commercials are included too.

Anyone still having confusion or problems with the new video are welcome to use the "Feedback" link on the bottom of the video page. They have a whole team monitoring what comes in and even contact you with help and for more comments. They really, really want to make it better.

Nana - stop scaring the nice people in California by telling them Chertoff (Skeletor) is coming to help them. Of course, he isn't coming. He's sending expensive, no-bid, cost-plus contractors to help themselves to taxpayers money by pretending to help those affected by the fires.

I can't wait to see what excuses the insurance companies come up with to get out of paying for the damage. They already used up the "water damage" exclusion one for all the damage caused by Katrina.

When the moment and lighting are right and there is absolutely no danger whatsoever, BushCo will be right over for the usual hug-a-victim and make-promises-to-help-that-I'm-not-going-to-honor photo oportunity.

Same old, same old. Rinse and repeat.

I'm impressed you're so full of information....or at least full of something. Too bad none of this information is from first hand knowledge. Once again you're just repeating what you hear other neonons say. Larry, I don't ask for much but please try to be original and have your own thoughts. Did you plagarize alot while attending the Citadel? Your blog sounds like you are starting to whine and throw a tantrum. I wonder where you get that from.....could it be from your hero Bozo.

Pam - Is your boss so frigging greedy he can't afford to close the place before it burns down? Is he waiting to flames to reach his desk before he announces it's time to go home? Or is there a clause in his fire insurance that demands at least one employee death before they pay his claim?

The heartless fool needs a good excuse for this one.
