And for the record, an MSNBC analyst/pundit Scrabble tourney? I would drop cash, PayPerView-style, to witness that one.

Actually, my interpretation on the Keith/Jon Alter conversation is even more in-depth than my notes, which looked like this:

Keith: WTF
JA: Lieberman = jackass

And I’m a little concerned about the anteater, because when I was looking for the video, I came across all this stuff that said when anteaters walk on their hind legs, it’s a sign of aggression. I’ve got a feeling there’s going to be some sort of follow-up indicating this woman got her face ripped off.

While it was great to see Bill-O’s rant on the big screen, unfortunately MSNBC had to bleep all of his best lines, errrr, word.

I know that we can all melt down, as even I, sweet and angelic as I am, have had such moments, but from the stage manager’s reaction, this seemed “normal”. And wasn’t Bill-O’s hair wild? Neither the density nor the color looked natural.

Is this show getting into the stratosphere of news, or what? I know that Moyers has a new book out and is probably doing the rounds, but I got the impression that he also watches and appreciates Countdown. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the green room with Moyers and Alter.

I am still a bit in shock over Mort Sahl’s appearance last week, as like McCallif re Russert’s Dad, well, my parents were big Mort Sahl fans and had LP records of some of his routines, so naturally I thought that Sahl was in the great beyond somewhere.

For some reason these aging comics no longer seem to have much juice. I felt the same way about Richard Lewis. Perhaps their long crafted stage comedic timing does not match up to the wonderful back and forth informed banter that Keith has with Rachel, Dana, Richard Wolffe, and for goodness sake, Jon Alter.

I had also been wondering how they were going to fill the coverage of the Primary tonight. Let’s just say that I did not run out and buy an 8 hour video tape to preserve it for posterity.

Whatever they do do should be much more amusing than whatever CNN has in store.

Perhaps like the children’s long car trip games of counting horses, cows, etc., I will keep track of the movie analogies, the more tortured, the better.

I want Dana Milbank to do the #1 story every night whether the celebrity is political or not.

Lieberman. That man drives me crazy. I am glad that Jon Alter is reminding everyone that he is not this sage independent with the moral high ground, juts another political operative. I do understand he is angry with the Democratic party for going with his opponent (who fairly won the primary) but if he is accepting their leadership positions then he should not be actively campaign for the other party’s presidential candidates.

I’m sorry, but that cracked me up. :slow hand clap: You took a three minute conversation and cut it down to that without really losing anything. Bravo!

Poor ant eater. He can come to my house. We have plenty little proteins running around for him to nibble. But, Cheese Whiz is a good reward in animal training. Easy to handle…much easier than a clicker, treat bag and treats. Although I sometimes think BF Skinner is the Bill O’Reilly of animal training.
