I Wonder What Chris And Keith Will Have For Us Tommorow Night?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If the word gets out MSNBC can pass CNN in the nightly ratings...

They are getting close....


Wouldn't that be something....

[Bluebear]

1. Heck yeah. I've abandoned CNN for MSNBC

[burythehatchet]

8. man, I know you're having fun with that michelle malkin picture

but it creeps me out every time is pops up. I hope it has a short shelf life.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. how come i don't see it...

[Cha]

11. It is kind of assaulting!

I can't believe it's not photoshopped!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. i don't see it...

she's really not unattractive on the outside.....

[Jaybird]

23. now that ....

is the true face of the republican party.....ick

[buycitgo]

30. GREAT picture!

and I've been against cycle pix, as they have too much potential for ridicule

[Catch22Dem]

2. They're really plugging it

I have a feeling neither one of them plan on letting up anytime soon. Thank gawd for Keith Olberman. I also can't wait to see what Jon Stewart has planned.

3. There's A Market For A Center Left Alternative To CNN...

They will never catch Fox but Tweety is at a .8 one point lower than the "great" Larry King...

[Poiuyt]

29. CNN cut off their foot IMHO

Fox took the conservative market. The liberal market was CNN's to take, but apparently they didn't want it. Now MSNBC is moving more to the left (except for Scarborough) and the liberal audience is noticing it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. Center left?

I agree there's a market and if they're smart about strategy to capture ratings they'd quit competing for conservative viewers. But I disagree that they can be left of center given the heavy duty bungee-cord pull to the right that this administration has orchestrated.

[Blue Gardener]

4. Watch Countdown every night

Getting some of my democrat friends to watch it also. We need to get the word out to as many people as possible that there is an alternative to Faux News.

[A_Possum]

5. Gah, I may have to get my cable box replaced

The one on my tv is out, and I have to take it in to get another, pffft. Haven't bothered for months.

But all this talk about Olberman has me drooling.

[Pirate Smile]

15. He is awesome. After the talk of self inflicted wounds, yesterday he

ended the segment by saying, "yeah, and Lincoln shot himself too".

[MoonRiver]

6. I can't wait to find out!

There is something going on here that must resemble what happened when McCarthy was finally destroyed.

[LoisMustDie]

7. Do you remember when the conservatives loved Mathews

back in the Clinton years. Now I hear the right wing pukes saying Mathews has shown his true colors.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. they were vicious at lucianne.com

those braniacs couldn't last one minute with chris....

[ruggerson]

12. Olbermann deserves our loyalty, no doubt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. didn't he quit his job somewhere cuz he refused to talk about lewinsky

nt

[Pirate Smile]

16. One time he listed all the channels he has worked for and it was 7 or

more. He is also self-deprecating which is so much nicer than the "I'm sooo cool" crap that people like O'Reilly spout.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. I'm Most Familiar With His Work At ESPN

nt

[indie_voter]

18. It was at MSNBC

Height of Monica Fever. He was great in showing facial disgust over the whole ridiculous fiasco.

When he came back he poked fun at himself with an I'm back moment.

[Mz Pip]

19. I remember that

He had a show called "The Big Show" and it would start with "Today is day 19_ of the Clinton/Lewinsky investigation." He did this day after day until he just couldn't take it any more.

He did the most amazing commentary "I had sex with a woman and didn't even know it". It was done as a letter to Ken Starr. Really made fun of Ken Starr. I wish I had saved it. It was classic Olbermann.

20. Mathews got blacklisted by the RNC, can go to convention

he will either turn 180% and suck up or (more likely now that he has an ally in Olberman) give the republicans shit about keeping him out.

Monday should be fun.

[featherman]

21. ya mean all that toadying that Tweety

did for the RNC for the past 6 years is being repayed by a slap in the face? Is this true...denied credentials to the GOPCon? I doubt it. Please cite source.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. You Were Supposed To Reply To Hamlette...

but I saw the article in passing Ham is referring to...

[featherman]

24. Reply to my own question

from US News & World Report website "Washington Whispers":
"You might notice something missing from Hardball With Chris Matthews soon: Republicans. " Hardball may seem more like badminton during the Republican National Convention," threatens a GOP insider. What's up? The GOP thinks Matthews has gone over to Sen. John Kerry 's side and is too critical of the Bush campaign's editing of a Hardball interview with Kerry posted on the party's negative site, www.kerryoniraq.com. As payback, they've stopped urging Republicans to appear on the show. Hardball executive producer Tammy Haddad dismisses charges Matthews is biased: "We beat everybody up." So far, nobody from the White House has told her of the show's being blackballed."


But nothing about losing credentials. This is probably just a brushback pitch to get Tweety back on message. And if I know Tweety, he will.

25. Michell Malkin rerun.........

Everybody get your VCR's ready. Or maybe they'll sell the tape complete with goofy statements from the asian Ann Coulter......

[KharmaTrain]

27. She Won't Show Anywhere...She's Got Cover

Her "blob blog" she mentions that the reason she went on Hardball was to promote her fascist book and had "special permission" from Faux to do that interview and the one the next morning on C-SPAN (No mention of Rushy Contin)...and now will claim it's a breach of her Faux contract (no hemlock for one week!) if she opens her stupid yap on the tube again during this campaign season.

Put a fork in her, she's done...bring in the next bimbo.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. I don't know about Keith, but I know one thing Chris Matthews better

not do and that is apologize to that Michele Malkin witch after all her whining on Fox and CSPAN!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Listen guys, Chris Matthews had a "On the road to Damascus" conversion....
