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.

Since McCain wants to cancel debate on Fri. to solve financial crisis in Washington, why not suggest sending V.P. nominees to solve the crisis since they are supposed to be ready in an instant to become pres.  How could McCain respond in a way that doesn't make him and her look foolish?
