One final note here. I should clarify what I wrote in this space last night about Countdown’s interaction with Bev Harris of Black Box Voting. My staff is not certain that any of our messages to Ms. Harris inviting her on the show since the week of November 15 have specifically asked her for permission to play the videotapes of her work trying to audit the Florida vote. We think so, but I’ve got only three people booking all the guests on this program, and they each probably make about 100 calls a day.

Complicating our effort is the fact that even as we hoped to provide a platform to publicize and illuminate her efforts, Ms. Harris had returned none of the messages left on her own voicemail by Countdown staffers since she spoke to our staffers briefly, twice, during the week of November 8. Only today did she even get back in touch with us, and was so belligerent, threatening, and demanding, that we have chosen to withdraw our invitation to her to appear, or to have videotape of her efforts played, on Countdown.

Where are you, Bev? Please contact Keith Olbermann. Thank you.

1. This subject and KO's blog entry have been discussed at length here

It was a pretty hot and heated exchange.

2. Bev

Why are you jeopardizing all the work that you have done? You are sabotaging yourself and the effort of a lot of people.

7. Bev, if you're listening, I'm your supporter.

You can see what I've written in your defense. And I agree with Loki that the time has come to mend bridges. It looks like people are ready to lay their differences aside for the sake of reaching a higher purpose. I hope, that you can see that people are making an effort to extend laurel branches, and I hope that you will remember why you started your work, and that you take them.

Simple as that.

3. May I suggest some Lexapro and Effexor? It worked wonders for me.

I used to be like that but I discovered that it is a form of depression. I feel much better now. I would suggest that if any of you have contact with Bev that you talk to her and ask her to seek some help. This is a message of support from personal experience.

11. Have you been to the depression forums

http://www.depressionforums.com

I love it there. They make me feel like I'm not alone in my depression.

5. ? from someone who doesn't get MSNBC

Since we don't get MSNBC on our cable package, I've not seen the guy's show. So I gotta ask:

Is this the same Keith "from way downtown...bang!" Olbermann that used to be an anchor on FOX Sports?

12. I'm not attacking Bev in any way shape or form

I think what she is doing is great, I just wish I understood what was going on.
