CLARKIES: General Clark on "Countdown" tonight (Wednesday) with Keith!

[DeepModem Mom]

Tonight we'll talk to retired General Wesley Clark, former head of NATO, former presidential candidate, and now - former FOX Noise analyst (though you'd never know it by the amount of time they actually put him on the air). General Clark is now an analyst for MSNBC, and we'll give him the time that Billo never did.

3. I'm so excited about this!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

5. So Sparkly,

is this his MSNBC debut? Is this his first appearance? :hi:

[CarolNYC]

7. Actually,

he was on a couple of times one morning last week. Apparently he was just there for a meeting and they wanted to get him on the air ASAP. Then he was on I think 5 times on Saturday from LA...just little bits with talking heads.

This is his first "real" appearance, in a sense, I think.

Sorry to go jumping in there, janx. I know you didn't ask me....just excited I guess. :)

[janx]

9. Thanks for the info!

I'll try and catch it!

[Adelante]

8. Hey, Janx

:hi:


He's been on MSNBC News a few times already. This is the first show with Keith.

[janx]

11. Thank you, WesDem.

I'm going to a friend's house for a swim later and will try to catch it there--maybe with a cold Heineken in hand for good measure. ;-)

[Sparkly]

16. Hey Janx

It's hard to keep up here, so I know you've been answered. :) It's his first time with Keith, though!! :woohoo:

[janx]

40. I watched it, and it was excellent.

It's nice to see some substance on the TV NEWZ. ;-)

[CarolNYC]

4. Yay!

Love the blurb..."we'll give him the time that Billo never did". I never even thought to consider how Clark's move to MSNBC might play into the whole KO-BO thing....

Keith and Wes together....How cool. Hope it's just the first of many such appearances...

[Texas_Kat]

6. Wanna bet Keith doesn't pretend

Wanna bet Keith doesn't pretend to teach WKC about military strategy?

Keith's been waiting a long time to get Clark on Countdown -- and we've been waiting a long time to see them together.

[janx]

14. It would be so cool if Clark were a regular on KO...

He used to be a regular on CNN years ago, yeah?

[CarolNYC]

15. Yes...

He used to be on with Aaron Brown a lot, I believe. That was before I knew who he was so I didn't see him but a lot of Clark supporters became supporters watching those two discuss Iraq, I think. I'd love to see him on Keith a couple of times of week...at least. :)

[bdamomma]

10. oh it will be good to see General Clark on with Keith.

:applause:

[FrenchieCat]

12. The KEITH and The CLARK Rule! Tell 'em the truth, and use Corporate sponsors

to do it! :headbang:

[janx]

13. kickeroo, because

more people should be aware of this. :party:

Might this also be posted in GD? It might get more views there. Whoops--edited to add that I see it has been posted there already!

[capi888]

17. Gee I just found this thread...and I started one just now...

Great going everyone...I am so excited....this is the beginning folks...:bounce:

[Dinger]

18. I. . . Can . . . . Hardly . . . . . .WAIT!!!!!!!!!

K & R!!!
:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

[Dinger]

19. Calling Non-Clarkies Too!!

Pretty please:)

[Sparkly]

20. 45 minutes...

Um, if one were watching the clock and counting... :blush:

[Cameron27]

21. I can't wait!

KO and Wes ! Together!

[jenmarie]

22. Can't WAIT!!

Unfortunately, I have to wait for the rebroadcast at 9, but hopefully ya'll will be discussing it here and I can peek in. Living with my dad and I'm the cook -- he's pretty old and likes dinner at 5:30. I could have the tv on but it's downstairs, and I just want to give it my undivided attention!

Oh, and I've got my dad hooked on Keith, now! Even if I'm not down there he watches it every night. And he's deaf, so I can hear it no matter where I am in the house! LoL!! Oh, and dad's a Clarkie, too! I had him read Broken Engagement, and since then he always says "Boy, I hope that Clark gets in the race -- you think he will?" :D Yeah, dad, I do.

[snowbear]

24. A "kick for the General"

(((kick)))


It's on!!!

[Sparkly]

25. Okay, who's got the screen image of KO and The General side-by-side??

That was a sight to see.

Sadly, the topic was far from happy. It's wonderful to hear The General speaking to a different audience though, and saying that O'Reilly's views are "absurd" (I think that was his word)!

[snowbear]

26. I agree.. he should team up with Keith Olbermann on a FREQUENT basis!!

Now that he's part of the MSNBC family...

[Sparkly]

27. The interview went by too quickly.

There was so much more to talk about!! I hope he has him on as much as Craig Crawford and Richard Wolffe, but for twice the time (make up the time by ousting Michael Musto!!).

[snowbear]

35. Well... hopefully, now that he's on MSNBC...

We'll see him with Olbermann a LOT! I'll bet the two of them really hit it off !!!

Clark and Kerry

[Tinksrival]

32. MMMMMMMMM!!!!

Double your pleasure.....double your fun!

OOPS! Sorry General! :blush:



That was a treat!

[Sparkly]

36. Sa-weeeet!!!

:loveya:

[Rowdyboy]

28. What a pleasure....A grownup, intelligent discussion about Iraq

Olberman and Clark make a lethal combination!

[RadiDem]

29. Good segment and the latest FAUX/ Loofah-boy commentary was TOPS!

[jenmarie]

30. Ruth posted the video

at CCN!

:bounce: :bounce:

[BootinUp]

31. Great interview, I hope these two teamup

many times more. :)

[DeepModem Mom]

33. DON'T FORGET: "COUNTDOWN" IS REPEATED AT 9 PACIFIC TIME...

for those who missed the 8 Eastern show.

[CarolNYC]

34. That was a treat....

Keith was proud to have him on....awww....

Nice to see Wes interviewed where someone actually let him make his points....I love Keith. I really do hope he has Clark on a lot.

[CabalPowered]

37. You could tell that both of them were very happy with the new

arrangement. I was particularly encouraged by KO's comments in regards to future contributions by the General. I get the impression he's going to be a regular on Countdown.

[Tom Rinaldo]

39. These two men seem to enjoy having honest serious discussions

and it doesn't hurt that they see the world in a similar way. I expect many positive repeats of last night. But it wouldn't hurt to let MSNBC know how much we appreciate seeing exchanges like that broadcast regularly.

38. Help Keith - watch Countdown on the MSNBC website

You can watch Countdown legally on the MSNBC website.

I guess they keep track of how many videos get played.

More hits for Keith will help keep his show on the air.

Here's the link: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

The part with Wes Clark is "Iraq war divides Democrats, too"

You can also watch The Daily Show on the Comedy Central website.

But you guys knew that already - right? ;-)

:kick:

[jenmito]

41. Is Countdown in trouble of being taken off the air?

I thought his ratings jumped like 70% from last year!
