Oh yeah Morning Joe, what I said before, I can't recount how many times.

If he keeps adding the people who beat him in the ratings...it won't be long before Spongebob & patrick make the countdown. Can’t wait til KO starts adding Rick to WORST PERSON.

Two suggestions Countdown producers: first, tone down the make-up on Olbermann, he looked really orange that night. Second, if Olbermann is going to do segments where he is standing (like on SNF) he needs to get on the treadmill or push himself away from the buffet tables (or both), that gut ain't pretty. Overall I thought the graphics where an interesting update, seemed sparse, lighter, like the set. I thought it worked pretty well. I finally got to watch Countdown’s Monday show.

It took Olbermann YEARS to get to number 2 in the ratings in that time slot. And for "Gramps", Sanchez has beaten Olbermann in the ratings Before there were fires in SoCal. Let's see how long it takes for Olbermann to start attacking Sanchez on-air in-between his attacks on Bill O'Reilly.

This is even better than usual for Sanchez. It's the fires. Paula Zahn would also do well when there were big stories. Though Sanchez has done surprisingly well, Olbermann almost always beats him.

This is why Rick is doing so good, I mean while Rick is out on the frontline of the CA fires KO is talking about Valery Plame, if KO were to go to the fires he would need a skirt to hide under.

It's not like there's a slang word named after one of their hosts because a propensity to state the most outrageous things then add a question mark. God I hope that was sarcastic enough.
