Tonight on Countdown
------------------------------------------------------

It's like Christmas here at Countdown.
Keith is all over the Deep Throat story. :)

John Dean returns tonight: Was Felt a hero or a turncoat?

Here are some of the other guests we have planned.

Professor Bill Gaines - who did a 4 year study at University of Illinois and determined Deep Throat was Fred Fielding... How did he get it wrong?

Chase Culeman-Beckman, who was only 8 years old when, he says, Jacob Bernstein, a son of Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein, revealed Deep Throat's identity to him during playtime at summer day camp. http://www.baltimoresun.com/

David von Drehle, Washington Post.

And Keith's Questions... The Seven Big Questions that must be answered.

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

A Kentucky judge has been offering some drug and alcohol offenders the option of attending worship services instead of going to jail or rehab _ a practice some say violates the separation of church and state. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8045925/

The San Francisco 49ers' front office is under fire for an in-house training video that including lesbian porn, off-color racial jokes, a parody of gay marriage, topless blondes, and star linebacker Julian Peterson playing the part of a panhandler,the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8059077/

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

Finally,
Eighty-eight South American migrants rescued at sea after tying a message in a bottle to another boat's fishing line were returning to Ecuador on Wednesday, Costa Rican officials said. The migrants, who were trying to reach the United States, were adrift for three days after being abandoned by smugglers because their vessel began taking on water. The migrants from Ecuador and Peru were out of food and water when they saw the long lines of a passing fishing boat and decided to write a message for help. They put the message in a bottle and tied the bottle to one of the lines. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/COSTA_RICA_MESSAGE_IN_BOTTLE?SITE=NWCN&TEMPLATE=STRANGEHEADS.html&SECTION=HOME

2. I hope they get MSNBC at the motel we're staying at tonight
