He's gonna talk about Kerry and the Downing Street Memo!
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry said that he intends to confront Congress with a document touted by critics of President Bush as evidence that he committed impeachable crimes by falsifying evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
The memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair allegedly said that President Bush's administration "fixed" intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/2235942822

Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann broadcasts LIVE at 8 pm et, and the count is never complete without you. Join us.

Federal authorities may prosecute sick people whose doctors prescribe marijuana to ease pain, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, concluding that state laws don't protect users from a federal ban on the drug. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8118123/

Michael Jackson was treated at an emergency room for "excruciating" back pain, a day before jurors in his molestation case were to begin their first full day of deliberations. The jury resumed its deliberations at 8:30 p.m. PT on Monday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8110442/

The government called on thousands of civil servants and tourists to join in a massive islandwide search Monday for a missing Alabama teenager, while police, soldiers and FBI agents combed scrubland and beaches. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8089310/

That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show.

Finally,
An off-duty police officer on a Sunday drive saw something awfully familiar - his recently stolen Volkswagen Jetta. North Charleston patrolman Ethan Bernardi whipped his cruiser around and pulled over the stolen vehicle. He called other deputies, who arrested three suspects, police said. The driver, Vicki K. Grooms, 42, and two passengers were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OFFICERS_CAR_STOLEN?SITE=NWCN&TEMPLATE=STRANGEHEADS.html&SECTION=HOME
There are no coincidences.

2. Kerry's not in the Senate today, so the lead story will have to change. NT

3. Doesn't mean that something can't be said to anticipate what he's doing
...and, of course, the predictable reactions to it...

But really: it's enough to give one hope, isn't it?

Please don't tell me the lead story is going to consist of a big marijuana leaf and Keith saying "And the latest ruling is--DON'T smoke 'em if you got 'em!" Or Michael Jackson and his oh-so-perfectly-timed new "medical crisis" (ever notice how he comes up with those just when he needs 'em the most?). Or the latest Missing Pretty White Girl Update. I refuse to believe that. I just refuse.

I think this is going to be a great week of Countdown. I'm going on record!
