COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M.)

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• 2008 ELECTION/ABC's DEMOCRATIC DEBATE: Dana Milbank,
• The Washington Post; Rachel Maddow, Air America radio host and MSNBC political analyst; Rick Perlstein; American historian and journalist
• IS BULGARIAN IDOL BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN VERSION?: Maria Milito, Q104.3

No recap for you tonight. We'll try to update the post over the weekend to document Oralmann's worst lies and embarrassments. In its place, we have a special treat: a tag-team smackdown of the infamous, deplorable one, featuring John Gibson and Mark Levin. Their shows air simultaneously, and they both siezed on Wednesday night's special post-debate Hour of Spin. Our clip is in three parts. Part one: Gibson nails Keithy's dazzlingly self-unaware Olbypocrisy: Extreme Edition. Part two: Mark Levin piles on and turns it up to 11. Part three: Gibby is back for a special bonus. Dramatic recitations from the blue blogs who were Olby's source material and inspiration. Enjoy...
