ALITO MUST RESIGN AFTER $2,400,000,000 SCANDAL - 6.21.23

EPISODE 232: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Sam Alito must resign from the Supreme Court after Pro Publica dropped a ton of bricks on the conservative icon/fraud's head: a Supreme Court case worth as much as $2.4 BILLION to the company of a hedge fund robber baron named Paul Singer, after Paul Singer gave Sam Alito a free ride to Alaska on a private jet. Alito didn't declare the ride and didn't recuse from the case. His argument? The seat "as far as I am aware, would otherwise have been vacant. It was my understanding that this would not impose any extra cost on Mr. Singer. Translation? If it was worth anything, why did he give it to me for free? Alito rushed a panicky, sloppy, typo-riddled denial before Pro Publica actually published, and it ran as an Op-Ed on The Wall Street Journal Editorial page.The Op-Ed also implies that the Journal's "informed sources" close to the Supreme Court all this time - including about the Roe-V-Wade leak - was almost certainly Alito.

Plus: Part 2 of Fox's interview with Dementia J. Trump is highlighted by his belief that the stalking horse being run against Biden in the Democratic primary is JFK JUNIOR not RFK JUNIOR. Huge if true. And new polling about DJT is actually newsworthy: GOP approval slips 10 points in one poll.

And a special message to all those Conservatives whining about the Trump indictments and the Hunter Biden plea deal: We don't care. We no longer care what you think. Think what you want - we give up. We will now focus on defeating and silencing you.

B-Block (18:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Somebody put something in the water in the Op-Ed room at The New York Times. SEVENTEEN different "Why (Pop Culture Item X) Explains America" articles. And the contention that 'America Has A Lot To Learn From The Fox Sports Cable Debate Show Skip Bayless And Shannon Sharpe Do That Nobody But Nobody Watches' (24:09) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Do you remember who Liz Truss was? Do you remember who the Lettuce was? Liz is mad about the lettuce. A raid at Paris HQ raises the question: Why do we HAVE Olympics? And how could the Peter Hotez/RFK Junior/Elon Musk/Joe Rogan debate nonsense get any worse? How about if the worthless Megyn Kelly joined in?

C-Block (29:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody brought up "Citizen Kane" the other day and I was flashed back again nearly 40 years to the day I met one of its stars - Hollywood immortal Joseph Cotten - and didn't realize it was him because I was on my way to interview Mickey Mantle. Keith name drops faster than you can. Enjoy.
