BUSHWORLD

Keith speaks with Eugene Robinson.

Spilling Blood & Treasure: I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust. 32 years ago, that made the fictional Howard Beale mad as hell. And he didn’t have Iraq or Afghanistan. In our third story tonight… We do.

It’s A Big Speech

Keith speaks with Richard Wolffe.

It’s a Big Speech: It may not have merited the description of a network newscast tonight: “Firestorm.” It has received but not earned — as you will hear later — a comparison to the saga of Willie Horton in the 1988 election, and a hysterical fabrication that found its way into the New York Times. But in our fifth story on the Countdown: there is no doubt that the issue of Pastor Jeremiah Wright — specifically his references to quote “God Damn America” and his claim of some American culpability for 9/11 — is a critical moment for the presidential aspirations for Senator Barack Obama. And in news breaking at this hour: he will address them — and the larger issues of race and religion — in a speech tomorrow in Philadelphia…A speech which — as this day wore on — became more and more obvious, as perhaps the most important speech by any candidate in any party, yet given in this longest of campaigns.

World’s Worst

Worse: Bill’O

Worser: Heather Mills McCartney

Worst: The editor of the New York Times, Bill Keller.
