Olbermann, whose
"Countdown With Keith Olbermann" airs weeknights at 8, apparently has precious
little respect for Cosby, whose "Rita Cosby: Live & Direct" airs at 10 p.m.
"Rita's nice," Olbermann wrote to a fan from his MSNBC E-mail account, "but
dumber than a suitcase of rocks." Yesterday
Cosby retorted: "Keith got it wrong. I'm not that nice."

Qiao Yubo, who is pregnant with at least five babies, walks with her husband, right, in Songyuan, in China's northeast Jilin province, Sunday, June 11, 2006. Qiao, who is 1.67-meters tall, has a waistline measurement of 1.75 meters, five months into her pregnancy. Qiao's excessive bulk is causing difficulties in getting around, with taxi drivers too afraid to take her in their cars. Her clothing is all custom-made and she eats up to seven meals a day.
