ABOUT THE NEWS HOLE

It's the new award-winning blog* from the cast and crew of the award-winning television news hour** "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

We heard about this whole "blogosphere" business from Tom DeLay, and came to the immediate realization that we too, "needed to become involved" in it.

So here it is. Covering the big news, the small news, medium-sized and irregular, The News Hole strives to bring everything you love or hate about Countdown to the internets.

Your feedback and hate mail is encouraged.

Here's the video of Senator John McCain's spiritual advisor Rev. Rod Parsley preaching the evils of Islam.

Here's also the original Mother Jones item and the segment in which Keith debunked Parsley's claim that "America was founded in part with the intention of seeing [Islam] destroyed" was back in March.

The front page article from the Washington Post about the lobbyist problems in the McCain campaign is McCain Adviser's Work As Lobbyist Criticized and there's another in today's paper, McCain's Rules on Lobbying Face Test.

Here's the Gallup poll Keith mentioned that shows Obama ahead in every category except women over 50.

The documentation on FBI Agent Bassem Youssef's testimony before the House Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security in which he is critical of the FBI's abilities in the war on terror is in pdf form here. (NBC's Investigative Unit interviewed Youssef in December of 2006.)

You've probably seen it all in short clips, but here's the full video of the exchange between Ellen DeGeneres and John McCain.
