Where's Olbermann and why is that nasty witch on instead?

[liveoaktx]

I wondered last week if he was going to get fired and his "I quit" had a double meaning.

I was listening to ESPN the other day and he was on subbing for Dan Patrick.

1. He had that surgery/biopsy the other week

I figured he'd have some follow ups. :shrug:

[Bumblebee]

4. Not if it's benign... His mouth may be still bothering him, though

and that would be a "benign" explanation

[Bumblebee]

2. Good question, wondering about that too

and, unlike Alison, she is totally inappropriate for Countdown.

[SoCalDem]

3. He's NOT there...more than he IS..

I just tune it out when he's not there:(

Just our luck eh? Finally get someone worth watching, and he's rarely there these days.. Maybe they are trying to ease hin out,, They did it once before..by insisting that he turn "The Big Show" into AllMonicaAlltheTime..and he bailed..

they may be pushing him again:(

6. No, a cancer scare will do that to you. That's been the case recently.

That and he likes to take vacations.

Remember, he's on a Monday through Friday show, so an occasional week gone isn't that bad. At least he isn't gone for 5 weeks at his Texas 'ranch'

13. I don't remember her name

but she's the one who called peace protesters un-patriotic on the 4th of July. We did a letter writing campaign to get her to apologize (I called for her to be fired!), but as with all rw tools it seems as though her evil nasty ways were rewarded :grr:

[merwin]

5. Who's on instead today?

I'm taping it to watch later.

7. Blonde bimbo Amy something or other-I turned it off as soon

as I saw it was her.I have a feeling she is related to someone there because she's an awful anchor.

[Bumblebee]

8. Don't know her name -- she often does morning and it's her first time

on Countdown.

[me b zola]

11. She's the one who called peace protesters un-patriotic on July 4th

:grr:

Looks like we didn't write enough letters

[TomInTib]

9. Tune in right now...

I just saw an intro of an upcoming pastiche of Bush on vacation - it's hilarious!

[me b zola]

10. I was going to post the same

...only I can't remember it's name.

It was the one who called peace protesters unpatriotic on the 4th of July. :grr:

[Bumblebee]

12. Patriotic Amy Something just announced that Keith will be back tomorrow

so life will be good again -- for a while :)

[liveoaktx]

14. I'll tune back in tomorrow unless story # 1 is Michael or Aruba or

a serial killer.

[Bumblebee]

15. Yes, there is this hand floating in Venezuela...

[liveoaktx]

16. I don't mean to laugh, but I did... I mean, TV media loves that chit.

[cornfedyank]

17. rita shows msnbc is going for the crap factor.

somebody, maybe advertisers, don't want keith. First tucker, then rita... what next?

sarcasm on: You know what this optional war needs? Rally caps. you know with football season coming, and baseball heading toward the fourth out. Screw the best armor or a decent plan. Let the troops, no better yet, let us as a nation, flip our hats inside out and tell the troops we are united. ??? Should we wear our rally caps while we debate a 100% estate tax reduction?
