Last night on "Countdown" about the politicalization of the terror alerts.

I'm glad Keith Obermann did a story about the seemingly "coincidental" timing of this latest terror alert...and the feeling that these alerts are political. Someone had to bring it up. Good for "Countdown".

1. Jon Stewart was classic on his show last night

if you missed it, catch the re run today

5. Jon was his usual brilliant self.

I was literally blowing kisses to the TV screen. LOL.
I love a man who talks TRUTH!
And he looks so darned cute doing it. :)

2. Jon Stewart Did Too on The Daily Show

Dramatized it beautifully - just as he was settling in to talk about the successes of the convention, including Kerry's stronger than expected speech, a terror bulletin was handed to him, and he noted the 'odd' coincidental timing.

Yes, TDSwJS is a satrical show on the Comedy channel, but it draws a larger audience than Faux News!

Edited to add: great minds think alike, but one types faster!

3. better ratings than Fox News?

Does TDS w/JS out-poll all of Fox News' programs? I would not be surprised.

4. I am glad to hear this but Fox broadcast 24/7/365 and Stewart

is on only 30 minutes Monday through Thursday. I wish we had at least one media outlet that transmitted the truth.

6. Ashcroft announced the "Ohio Mall Bomber" plot on the eve of Kerry's...

...visit to Columbus Ohio, in June... based on information garnered in December 2003.

When does this series of "coincidences" become a shady Rovian political scheme?

8. I wish one of our journalists

would compile a list of all the terror alerts & look at the political implication...what were they trying to hide?

Oh, I forgot...investigative journalists are now extinct.

7. Keith Olberman is becoming one of my favorites.

Often, I will hear of some new Bush atrocity here, on DU, and his show...and nowhere else.

Plus, I think his show is geared to reaching a younger audience-something that bodes well for the future, as we need to have an alternative for the young.

When I first encountered Keith on MSNBC, I was turned off by all the paper-wad throwing, etc...and didn't give him a hearing.

Now, having done so, I guess I have become part of his following.

If they would just dump Scarborough, what a fine world it would be.
