Definition of aspirate: to suck in.
Aspirational horizons: Haven't we already been there, done that?

As always, I laughed, I learned.
Kaku was fascinating. But an invisible Keith? Bad idea.

Hey Countdown --

Great #1 story, but you failed to answer the REALLY pressing question of our times ...

Can a certain (used-to-be) dark-haired, near-sighted journalist really fly?

Where were you Friday night? Comcast in Lexington, MA has MSNBC only on HD cable, not regular cable. Has MSNBC changed its content? Are you on a different network? Also Hardball?

Special Comment:
I loved the way Keith went after former Senator Phil Gramm as a McCain advisor, even before Gramm imploded with the stupid comments about recession whiners. But why don't you follow the trail of the story about Mrs. Gramm and her role as a Director at Enron. She was a member of the Audit Committee of the Board, taking some $400K per year in fees, and was unaware of the massive fraud perpetrated under her nose?

Nice tie. I don't believe I've seen that one before.

Just ask McCain where's Obama. He'll tell you and the whole world. And the MSM will think that's so cute: McCain is just being McCain. I don't think it's cute, it's just plain stupid or calculated. Naw, stupid--he did graduate 894 out of 899, doesn't know Shia from Sunni, and his senior moments are more like senior hours. We don't need another confused, clueless leader who releases information when it suits him.

I am not 'privy' to the information that lead to the use of the word 'privee' in the McCain quote om Friday's show. You need someone to spell check for you who has some knowledge of the English language beyond the simple homophone.

I enjoyed the visit with Dr. Larry Hunter. However, he should look up the words "venal" and "venial". I think he used the opposite of the one he meant.

Keith I'm so glade you're back. I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I was beginning to panic because I didn't know whether you were on vacation or had decided to leave MSNBC. But now that you are back I can relax and look forward to your nightly countdown. You are quite brilliant & I always enjoy your show.

Regarding the passenger who tried to get off, I appreciate that Keith is a baseball fan (me, too) but I think he could have mentioned that the New England Revolution team was on that flight and that three members of management helped apprehend the passenger (see http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/index.cfm?ac=latestnewsdetail&pid=32706&pcid=115)

This used to be an interesting and informative, albeit at times contentious,site. What happenened when the only comments allowed are those singing the praises of KO or of denigrating those who dare to disagree with him?
This isn't a blog, it's a fan club!

Many thanks for acknowledging the great Dr. WG Grace. Americans should have a better awareness of cricket, as it is not only baseball's "elder brother" and the second-most-popular game in the world, but nowhere near as dull as soccer. Its low profile in the US is due not insignificantly to the astounding ineptitude of the governing body here, covering which would give Keith the opportunity to say the name "Gladstone Dainty." Just a thought.

Keith, I visited Belfast, Northern Ireland last month and arrived one day after Bush had left. The people of Belfast had constructed HUGE, HUGE letters mad of stone, on the side of the hills overlooking the city which said "NO BUSH". This was similar to the famous HOLLYWOOD sign in California. If you like I can send photos. This should have been a big story and yet I have not seen anything about it.
