Last night’s Countdown… I haven’t read any of the stories yet.. haven’t had the time to… I hope to read about Greenspan and Dubai… The other stories don’t interest me…
Countdown Monday: Greenspan’s Bush Pan
Thanks to all wishing Keith well in his recovery. Keith is out of the hospital, and home recovering after his emergency appendectomy on Friday. Alison is in for him tonight…
Fed Up: After spending nearly two decades as chairman of the Federal Reserve… Alan Greenspan is kind of like EF Hutton in those old television commercials: When he talks, people listen. So when — in our fifth story on the Countdown — Mr. Greenspan seemed to state in excerpts of his new memoir, that the invasion of Iraq was largely about oil… people were definitely listening, and the fiscal guru created a firestorm, to say the least.
You Say Dubai, I say Hello: President Bush announces his new pick for Attorney General. He goes with practicality over partisanship. Did the White House blink or open its eyes to the reality of the senate confirmation process. And will the former attorney general scandal taint the new confirmation?
ODDBALL: Drag racing crash…traffic cam crash, and a moose gets milked. It’s appointment tv.
The OJ Debacle: OJ‘s not so excellent adventure. Day number one behind bars. hey–you knew someone would start a countdown clock. After all, we could be in for another long run with orenthal james simpson. Our third story tonight.. allegations of stolen goods… men with guns barging into a cheezy vegas hotel room… and a secret audio recording of the whole mess that just materialized. It is a chain of events you couldn’t make up …and you don’t have to because they happened in the nevada desert.
Emmy Round-up: It was a “green” kind of awards show…the red carpet was made out of recycled material…coincidentally, some of the winners seemed a bit recycled, too. However, the biggest loser of the night appears to be the Fox network, with Sunday’s broadcast drawing nearly twenty percent fewer viewers than last year. Note to Ryan Seacrest, don’t wear costumes next time. At least not professionally. Britney? A no-show-good thing because she probably wouldn’t have made it to air…The Fox censors were working overtime. They DID try to silence Norma Rae and that guy everybody loves. Our number two story tonight…the Emmys. Our correspondent is Natalie Morales.
As the Spears Turns: Britney Spears custody battle has turned really ugly in our number one story on the Countdown. And she has reportedly been banned from a chi-chi restaurant because she spread food on her face. But the good news for Britney — compared to that, her performance at the “Video Music Awards” is looking better and better… Well, no, not really.
