I couldn't hack the Special Comment last night...

I'm not being a concern troll...I still think "Countdown" is absolutely the shit, and mostly, I love the Comments like more than a friend. I still remember how the '06 coverage made me blush like I had a hot date, but if I don't rest the outrage-ometer from time to time, I'm gonna flip out like Glenn Beck and start spelling out manifestos in

I've been watching Rachel, but skipping Keith on my vacation week. Sometimes I need a break too. (And I'll hold my Keith-love up against pretty much anyone, although you maybe a few yards ahead of me.)

we got a sportscaster that did commentary, he was JD Hayworth. (Dude never made sense, then, either. Like, he'd be talking about a sport, and for what seemed like no reason, he'd be talking about taxes.)In that context, Countdown can be a revelatory experience, and there might be *just* a touch of drama there, not unlike someone else we know. Although there is definite crushing and I really did get psyched by that election coverage, although maybe I finally had permission to let my inner wonk out...maybe it was less about lusting than "coming out"(Which, okay, might be a little bit about lusting too. But I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers, as my grandma said once about somebody.) Although I get the feeling Keith would never do that...in some ways he gives off an "everything in its place" vibe sometimes that seems not the food-in-bed type.
