Countdown Friday: Days of Blunder

I cannot comment because it is ten PM and we turned on Countdown and it is not on. What happened?

We are unhappy, to say the least, at missing our favorite program.

#4 Figment of our collective national imagination?

Exactly. My imaginary retirement account lost an imaginary chunk of money last month that totally boggles my imagination. This will, in turn, extend the time I still have to work before I retire by an unimaginable period.

And yes, I'm whining.

Keith, next time you call in from a crowded venue on a day off do us all a favor and move away from the crowd while you are actually on the phone. We couldn't hear anything you said. Rachel was too sweet to mention it to you.

Thank goodness McCain made those statements, otherwise, Friday's episode could have been skipped altogether. Jesus, find something noteworthy to harp on, could ya?

What was up with all the background noise at the ballpark? One would think Keith Olbermann has a private skybox. Or at least a phone with some noise-canceling capability. That commentary might better have been left for Monday, when Keith is back. I could understand less than half of what he said.

It just goes to show you that people running for office will say anything to sound and look good, whether it is true or not. That has been the norm for all of them since I can remember. It just depends on who can pull it off more successfully.

Thank you for the cow story... it made me smile... and as a Steeler fan... it wasn't a smiling kind of news day!

Please come back Keith. I can't stand watching Rachael. She can't say 'Bushed' right.

This is from your Tuesday, March 27, 2007 transcript, Keith. -

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17831647/

Bush: "My message to Tony is, stay strong. A lot of people love you and care for you and will pray for you. And we‘re hoping for all the best. I‘m looking forward to the day that he comes back to the White House and briefs the press corps on the decisions that I‘m making and why I‘m making them."

You: "We here echo the president‘s words wholeheartedly. This may seem improbable, but Tony Snow and I are e-mail correspondents. Baseball has been our primary topic. But he says he watches this newscast, says he enjoys it, and can even resist the temptation to yell at the screen."

"And we are honored to have him. His comments about Elizabeth Edwards last week could not have been more perfectly suitable."

"Do whatever you can to get better, sir. If yelling might help, we will be honored by that too."

----------------------------------
Yes, most of the time his poltics were infuriating to us.

But sometimes his humanity was undeniable.

RIP, Tony.

Whenever Keith returns it's going to feel quite out of place and his return of worst persons in the world segment instead of Keeping Tabs. At least Keith will be well rested up and ready to report the news again. MMMM eye candy again =D.
