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.

Countdown Supplemental

Major polls referenced in recent shows:
Judging by the MySpace page of the East Coast Avengers they are at least aware of Keith's message to them that even in the case of people like Bill O'Reilly, "Nobody's life should be threatened." Wired has a stream of the song. NOTE: Headphone alert. The song probably has curses but they're not very distinct from the overall rap. However, the end of the song has the unedited audio of O'Reilly's "We'll do it live" rant which, as you know, contains distinct F-bombs.

News Corp stock chart YTD as guided by the market omnipotence of Bill-O the Clown.

Among Jerome Corsi's other great hits:
I didn't think I understood this story when it aired. Turns out it's as literal as it was reported by Keith: Confused sea turtles march into Italian restaurant

On the Dems side I'd be happy with:
Biden
Clark
Gore
Powell
Any of them would be great ; )
and Obama will be a great POTUS

Thursday aug 21 about the million dollar homes , the canidents own, who cares.  Why this is so important.  I live outside of Mc Canes Ranch outside of Sedona.  We all know its Cindy's, so what, send us some positive messages instead of all this smack.  The Olympics are much more entertaining than the negative surrounding the 2008 election.  It is so full of negative energy, being wasted on what.

An assured win would be Hillary.  No question.  Biden is a definate winner, but he lacks one thing, Hillary's 11%.

"Countdown" is pretty good most days -- we TIVO it regularly.  But on the days when the Republican candidate REALLY SCREWS UP, Keith Olbermann goes PLATINUM.  Great show tonight, guys!  It's been a tough couple of weeks at the polls, but today was a good day, and "the fundamentals of this show are strong"!  Thank you!

OBAMA'S DARK HORSE: RON PAUL for V.P.?

Ask yourself this: What if Obama chooses Ron Paul for his V.P.?

Think of the IMPACT! Think of the controversy! Think of how these two electrifying candidates can completely "Change the Game" if they are on the same ticket and completely blindside EVERYONE!--Especially the conservatives and their talk show hosts.

Just look at their similarities. They complement each other in important ways even though they are different. I don't think I have to lay out the case with you all.
