Countdown Friday: Neveda Eve

Posted: Friday, January 18, 2008 8:59 PM by Countdown
Filed Under:

Nevada! Nevada! Nevada!: The wait until the Nevada Caucuses and the Republican South Carolina primary can now be measured in hours...And the wait until Rudolph Giuliani uses actual footage of the 9/11 attacks to promote his bid for the White House... is over. In our fifth story on the Countdown... the word of the day on the campaign trail today: mistakes. Those who were overcoming them... those who were trying to... and those who seem determined to bury their candidacies -- and their own common decency -- for good. We begin tonight with the Democrats.

Beyond Feb 5:  By February 6th - two thirds of the democratic party delegates will be allocated...Republican voters in 27 states will have cast their ballots..And yet, in our fourth story on the Countdown, even by that point...Neither party may have decided who it wants to be President.

ODDBALL: A stage dive/lip sync that wasn't meant to be, and an 11 foot mustache.

Striping the Drives:  In our third story tonight, the White House in heated debate with itself... over whether millions of emails, more than a year's worth, including a virtual arsenal of potential smoking guns in some of its worst scandals... are missing... or not. After months of acknowledging problems with its email preservation, the White House is now de-acknowledging any missing emails at all.

Tabby Time:  Two for the price of one in tonight's brief look at celebrity and entertainment...Dr. Phil and Britney Spears.. beginning with a non-apology apology from the good doctor.

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD:  Ted Sampley, Lou Dobbs and Billo vie for tonight's top honors.

Time For Change: Friday, the end of a busy week in politics.. so a little political humor seems right. In the best tradition of mining laughs from tragedy, number one in our countdown taps the vast motherlode of misery that is George W. Bush and company. By way of full disclosure, what you're about to see was not written or produced by the countdown staff.  In memory of the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost to outsourcing since Mr. Bush took office, we've outsourced a few minutes to the good folks at the National Lampoon Humor Network and Blip tv, who fear that under George W. Bush, it may not be long before the national yearning for change becomes, "Hey Buddy, got some spare change?"

Uh...I know it's Friday night, and we're all ready for the weekend, but Nevada isn't spelled correctly in the headline.

Let's cut Senator Clinton some slack for talking to Tyra Banks. She can’t exactly go on the Oprah Winfrey show, can she?

And, we’re surprised Mayor Rudy is using actual 9/11 images in campaign ads, why? Please…another blogger here, and forgive for not giving credit where credit is due, said that Mayor Rudy would move primaries to Sept. 11 if he thought it would help.

Keith, thank you for the classy explanation/apology of some of Mr. O’Donnell’s segment last night.

After offering kudos to Keith for his integrity in explaining some of Lawrence O'Donnell's segment last night, it pains me to have to say this. Keith, please let us know if you’re under some kind of “gag order” from your bosses that prevents you from discussing why Congressman Kucinich was disinvited to the NV debate. YOU HAD CHUCK TODD AT THE SAME STINKIN’ TABLE, AND IT WASN’T MENTIONED! If you say you can’t talk about it, that’s fine. We can understand that, and, hell, we can probably even grudgingly accept it. But, please, SAY SOMETHING. You’re too good of a journalist to “keep us hanging” like this.

Well, gang, check local listings, but a good chunk of the Midwest is going to be mother-forkin' cold this weekend. The HIGH in Indianapolis tomorrow is going to be around 13 with windchills in the double-digits below zero. If anyone is going to football games this weekend, first of all, YOU'RE CRAZY, but, for Pete's sake, bundle up. I know the holidays were last month, but we don't want Jack Frost nipping at anything important in addition to your nose.

To ALL of the bloggers here, to the hard-working Newshole moderators, to the staff and contributors to COUNTDOWN, and, of course, to Keith Olbermann (Yep, I probably will be watching MSNBC tomorrow night because it'll be too stinkin' cold to go out, at least for me), have a faboo weekend!

I believe that the cherry picking by some of the candidates of the larger states to concentrate their campaigns clearly emphasizes the need to get rid of the electoral college and have true democratic elections.  The elitist concept of the electoral college has long outlived its usefulness and America deserves democracy just as much as the countries in which we keep trying to foster it.  This "winner take all" concept of the delegates from a state is antiquated.  Each and every vote should count in a country that purports itself to be a democracy (though it is actually a republic) but each and every vote never will count as long as we continue with the electoral college system.  It's well past time to allow the popular vote to decide the winner.

WPitW--my mom, with ancestry in this great nation dating back to the 1780s, would under that delicious  Emma/Grant joke be illegal.  Her first name is Emma.  She cheered when Dobbs was awarded the silver.

And two comments about #1:

Shuster used the polite term "archconservatives" to refer to those who roared approval for Gov. Huckabee's quip about the Confederate flag.  The correct term is unreconstructed rednecks.  I know the type well, having grown up in a house with two specimans.  The surviving one gets apoplectic when I remind him the war's been over one hundred forty-two years and it's time to let the dead rest in the peace they earned.  Unfortunately, Gov. H. has become a panderer.  It takes most politicians that way.

As for Sen. Clinton's interview with Tyra Banks, and the comments she made regarding the Lewinsky affair, which you characterized as "emotionless":  proves my theory that there is a classic country song that fits any situation.  In this case there are two.  First, let me respectfully submit that the mess did happen ten years ago.  One could go on a Stonewall Jackson kick and mourn about "a wound time can't erase", but Sen. Clinton has obviously taken the Johnny Cash option, "time goes by, and life goes on."

You see, Big Man, country music is good for something other than bad punch lines.  Oh well--they couldn't teach you everything at Cornell.

Midwest viewer (Sent Saturday, January 19, 2008 1:19 AM)

Keith,
    My wife and I really enjoy your show and MSNBC in general.  Regarding your Keith number and polling in general, I'd like to make some comments.  First of all, when a scientific poll is taken, it consists of three parts: 1. the poll number of whatever is being measured, 2. the margin of error, and 3. a confidence level.  For example, let's say Obama polls 37% and Clinton polls 30%.  Let's, also, say that the margin of error is plus or minus 4%.  In addition, let's say that the poll is using a 99% confidence level.  (Confidence levels are usually 90%, 95%, or 99%.)  That means that 99 times out of 100 times that you conduct this poll, Obama's number will fall between 33% and 41%, while Clinton's number will fall between 26% and 34%.  One time out of 100, it will fall outside of those parameters.  Forgetting the confidence level, what I want to point out to you and others I've listened to is that plus or minus 4% doesn't mean if the candidates are within 4% of each other, they are in a statistical tie.  It means, since Obama's number could be as low as 33% and Clinton's number could be as high as 34%, the candidates numbers are in a statistical tie if they are within 8% of each other.  In this example, 37% and 30% with a 4% margin of error is a statistical tie.  Either one could have the lead.  It would take a lead of more than 8% for one candidate to have a significant lead.  I hope this information is clear and provides you with some necessary insight into polling.

Cal,Tex,Fla,Oh,and NY., or the entire population of South Dakota. Now if we could only get 2% of the non voting public to actually vote, Hey, primaries not withstanding any democratic candidate can get elected, regardless of tears, suits, hair, or any other demeaning claptrap extololed by the fear and loathing crowd of hoarders known to us as the GOP!

I was going to ask that you give the same disclaimer for David Shuster, now that he has called Ron Paul "the al-Qaeda wing of the Republican Party" on Morning Joe this past Thursday.  But then I thought, why bother, you never cover Ron Paul anyway, except when his supporters are chasing Sean Hannity down the street.

Medicare, Medicaid, and VA? You have got to be kidding when you say that they are well ran.

About every six to eight years there's a scandal with the VA and the Medical Treatment given. Bush II, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, all faced bad Press because of Mistreatment, Poor Facilities, Poor Accounting, Abuse, Misdiagnosis, etc, etc. Ford and First Bush missed out on such scandals, as the cycle seemed to have missed them. I know Vets who say that they would rather die in the Streets then go to the VA for treatment. Health care at the VA is good, what a joke.

Medicare and Medicaid, not as bad as the VA, but are bigger Nightmares then Private Insurance. If such programs were so Wonderful, then why are so many Doctors dropping them. I know Docs who have to argue with the Government over this will be paid, but not that. Only if the Doc doesn't do that with this, he can be sued for malpractice. Or to make something for their services, have their patients come in repeatedly as they get paid per visit, whereas with Insurance, it can all be done in a single visit.

Not that the Insurance Companies are Innocent, but I still don't know of a single thing that the Government does well enough to entrust it with Health Care.
