Olbermann targets Hillary tonight (as Democrat civil war continues)

Olbermann targets Hillary tonight

The Clinton campaign, which protests a lot already about MSNBC's coverage, might have another piece of evidence to use against the network. Keith Olbermann said on yesterday's "Countdown" broadcast that he's giving a "special comment" tonight about Hillary Clinton.

HuffPo's Rachel Sklar notes that the YouTube-friendly "special comments," which typically target the Bush administration, often generate hundreds of thousands of views online.

Of course, it's already been a rocky couple months between the Clinton campaign and the network. Chris Matthews and David Shuster had to issue public apologies for statements directed toward Clinton and her family.

And Tucker Carlson, a harsh critic of top Clinton aides, recently lost his show. While the Clinton campaign wasn't the official reason, I've heard internally that senior news executive Phil Griffin was not happy with Carlson's on-air statements about Clinton staffers

So will Olbermann, who also anchors election night coverage, be the next to suffer the Wolfsonian wrath? Guess we'll see after tonight's show.

If Olbermann attacks Hillary, it raises my estimation of her.

Ted Knight fictionalized the smarmy anchorman. The eunuch in question has brought it to reality.

Olberperson is just being a reactionary, he’s only hating on Hill because of Rush’s “support”

Is there any question that it will be comparing Hillary to Bush to Hitler?

Olbermann is completely unwatchable, but if I have enough barf bags at the ready, I might be able to handle it.

Maybe he will go easy on Hillary since they are both big Yankee fans. Or is she Cubs fan? What state is she fomr/in? I hear she has PA roots according to today’s campaigning.

“I hear she has PA roots according to today’s campaigning.”

Yeah, I think William Penn was one of her great uncles. Also, she's a huge 76ers fan. And I think she's a practicing Quaker. And her favorite food on the ‘campaign trail’ is a nice Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. And.....

Nah, giving attention to Olbermann just encourages him.
