1. Yes, Keith is on vacation all week. His Countdown "special" will be on NBC

on Sunday evening, though.

2. HUbby won't watch it with me anymore. He took issue with a story Keith did

and now distrusts him. :(

4. Allison

does a heck of a good job when she subs for Keith.

5. They should give her Tweety's hour!

She does a much better job than Tweets any day of the week!

7. I would prefer

that they replace Tucker with Allison.

10. I think so too

she immerses herself into it and that to me means a lot.

6. Allison is the best of the "substitutes" available for Keith.

I must admit, although she does a reasonably good job among normal people, she suffers so badly when compared to Keith that the show becomes--to me--a disappointing "also ran."
It's too bad that the only "news format" show I actually want to watch is so disappointing, so often. I don't like the notion of no direct announcement that Keith isn't present and won't be for some time. It's almost like cheating and they are probably correct: if I knew Olbermann wasn't to be present, I would be less enthusiastic and, perhaps, likely not to watch at all.

8. Doing a brilliant job too--the MINE story is smoking...!!!! nt

9. Allison does a great job

I was just thinking about her today, when I had the opportunity to watch MSNBC. She was great as an anchor asking questions of the guest. I wonder what had happened to her. Glad to see her subbing for Keith.
