Wow - you got that right on Olbemann. Last night I watched the longest sustained burst of his show I have been able to tolerate to date. That was his interview of Michael Scheuer, former CIA employee who had been in charge of a group dedicated to Osama bin Laden. Presumably they were in charge of
finding him, making sure he was killed or captured. The interview was a slow buildup along the lines of "Afghanistan is where we should be, Pakistan is not helping us find OBL, Iraq has been a massive distraction from finding OBL". After this series of essentially scripted softballs and Olbermann's editorializing, the interview winds up with Olbemann praising Scheuer and identifying him as the former CIA fellow in charge of OBL (again implicitly, finding, killing or capturing OBL). There was a slight pause after that during which you could almost see the realization forming in Olbermann's brow that if the bona fides of his guest were that he had been responsible for the pursuit of OBL, and the guest's comments during the interview were but brief affirmative pauses in Olbermann's lecture on the failure to find OBL (Bush's fault), that maybe we had just witnessed a lot of nothing from one who had not accomplished his primary task.
It compared with Greta Van Sustren asking a member of Anna Nicole Smith "What do you think of this media frenzy about he passing of Anna Nicole Smith?", apparently unaware of her own role in that media frenzy. Ugh.
Olbemann is really despicable.
