Offering to bail Mackris out of debt for copy of tapes. Save the tapes campaign! Fucking awesome!

[greenbriar]

1. and saying its fox's money

was the kicker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eddiebrowns]

2. funniest thing I've seen

since the first debate

[darkism]

3. That IS fucking awesome

I'm still laughing from it. Did you see the prop check? hehe

[high density]

4. I'll have to watch the re-run at midnight

I always miss it at 8pm.

[Doosh]

5. no f*cking way! I just dropped my loofah!

[jrthin]

17. You mean falafel, don't you? nt

[Doosh]

[marlakay]

6. Fantastic!! It was great-he must hate FOX! n/t

[unfrigginreal]

7. Don't miss the repeat!

Fucking hilarious!

[tridim]

8. Said she could sell the tapes to K-TEL

and make bank. :)

[Hans Delbrook]

9. You beat me to it!

I was just watching it - I nearly peed myself laughing!

You have to watch the re-run tonight if you missed it!

[htuttle]

10. If she's willing to sell, I'd bet Larry Flynt would pay top dollar!

[HerbieHeadhunter]

11. Not only that, the 99,000 will come from money Fox paid...

to Olberman when they terminated his contract.

Classic.

[Auntie Bush]

12. Keith rocks. I couldn't believe my eare/eyes.

[AlinPA]

13. Incredible! n/t

[Cush]

14. lol, Voting is too complex for Paris Hilton

[ydya]

15. I'll send money too!

How about a public fund (this could run in the millions) for Mackris if she will just put all the tapes in the public domain. I mean, O'Really? couldn't match that kinda dough. I'd pay to see that two-faced jerkoff exposed for what he is.

8 days to President Kerry!

[Maddy McCall]

32. Hi ydya!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Tesibria]

18. See his Blog -- there's a "fund drive" going on....

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

How much would you be willing to give to a 'Save the Tapes Fund'?

[ydya]

23. Thanks for the links..

How much would I give? For starters, one month's cable bill equivalent just to never have O'Reilly on TV ever again.
Peace.

[Maiden England]

20. Olberman is such a gem

[Wind Dancer]

22. Keith is a man I truly respect!

If you haven' read the speech he gave to Cornell University, it is well worth your time.

30. Wow! That was a great speech. Thanks for the link! (n/t)

[grannylib]

24. Crap missed it...watching "There's Something About W" on Link

Will have to catch reruns at 11
Countdown is one of the highlights of my day, that and The Daily Show

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. I'm feeling sorry for Bill O'Reilly

I think I'll have to send him a set of dildos for the Christmas holidays, maybe engraving them with images of little angels or Santa Claus. I might even try to set up an Internet Dildo-Of-The-Month club and urge my fellow Americans to keep him well stocked and happy. After all, when the Chimp gets de-selected, dildos will be O'Reilly's only means of escape from the real world.

[DeepModem Mom]

26. kick

[gulfcoastliberal]

29. Kick for the day shift

This seriously was the best countdown I've ever seen, perhaps even nudging out when Keith exposed the rove talking points emailed to him for his interview with true American patriot Joe Wilson. Last nights show was truly jaw-dropping.

[loudsue]

27. O'Liely isn't that stable mentally....he'd prolly kill himself.

The guy is just one volt shy of a tripped switch. The perfect repuke talking head.

:kick:

[Blue Gardener]

28. I hope Olberman knows about DU

And how much we love his show. This show was the best ever.

[seabeyond]

33. he should, we elected him sexiest man in playgirl

wink

[A Brand New World]

31. Countdown is one of my "do-not-miss" shows!

Olbermann is the most entertaining newsman ever and last night's show was one of his best. This whole O'Reilly bit and the countdown in the corner to the O'Reilly segment is a hoot. You can tell his hatred of Fox is quite genuine and that makes Olbermann definite must-see TV. My evenings are ruined when he has a substitute.

34. Video Link?

Would love to see it.
