Tuesday’s Tie: Pink

Worst Person in the World - Harvey Kushner for not having heard of Godwin’s Law.

#5 - Will it be Joe Biden for Dem VP? Yes! No! Maybe! Or as Chuck Todd points out, nobody really knows, but Biden is a good possibility. The top VP choice may not find out anyway until he gets a text message from the campaign. Also, Todd tweaks KO about FNIA. We have come quite a ways since the early days when Todd kept calling Keith “sir”.

Richard Wolffe also stops by to talk VP choices and how negative campaigning on McCain’s side is slowly eroding the nation’s positive opinion of Obama. Shouldn’t that work the other way around?

#4 - McCain contradicts himself. That’s news? Eugene Robinson attempts to unfuddle us. It seems the new McCain is quite different than the old McCain, but no one (the press?) seems to have noticed yet.

Bushed - Global Warning denialists get a lesson in global warming from Mother Nature, the President wasn’t involved except when he was, and McCain and Bush want to restart the Cold War, only without the commies.

Oddball - Turtles on wheels, roller blading backwards, and a boxing dog.

Best Persons in the World - Bill Sammon of Fox doesn’t care about mistakes, Rush Limbaugh gives normal people something to hope for, and Joe Leiberman is a “prick” according to the AP (and others!)

#3 - Called “the single smartest move ever made by a television network” by The Progressive Puppy, and seemingly seconded by at least 41,754 of you, Rachel Maddow will now have her own show on MSNBC starting on September 8th! It will be shown at 9:00 pm Eastern and 6:00 pm Pacific time.

Rachel joins Keith to talk about the show a bit, goof around some, and to make sure our Mr. Olbermann gets the credit for it (note: KO is a lot of good things, but modest isn’t one of them).

Rachel promises the show will follow along with her quirky interests (naked men committing crimes and the Iraqi soccer team) as well as politics and the wider world. And best yet, it will follow Countdown so you can save the batteries in your remote. Oh, and she will be remaining on Air America too.

#2 - Worst Persons in the World

Worse - Newt Gingrich for suggesting that keeping your tires fully inflated only rewards the oil companies. The oil companies must pay him really well to try to confuse people like that.

Worser - The East Coast Avengers for suggesting for suggesting that Bill O’Reilly be killed in one of their songs. Keith takes them to task for saying that. And I won’t link because that just help perpetuates that kind of thing.

#1 - The all purpose Princess of Countdown, Maria Milito, comes by to talk about the Bigfoot hoax. She says her radio listeners were upset to find out last week’s discovery of a Bigfoot corpse was not real. Hmmm…normally skeptical, classic rock listening New Yorkers believed that was really Bigfoot? I think maybe that is the hoax. Still, silly or not, it is always nice to see Milito.
