If you watched Countdown (MSNBC transcript with ugly rightwing photo of Hillary) last night, you saw Hillary Rodham Clinton demonstrate once again that she can talk to assh@les like Keith Olbermann, and Richard Mellon Scaife too. Meanwhile, Barack Obama wants us to believe that he can talk to Ahmadinejad, but, oh dear, Obama can't handle Fox News or any more debates with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Keith proved himself to be a first class coward. The jerk waited until Hillary was safely gone before trashing her.
One of the funniest moments was when KO asked: How in the world could you sit down with your longtime political enemy, Richard Mellon Scaife? In KO's view, when Obama talks to Republicans, it's called being the unity candidate. But when Hillary talks to Republicans, it's called selling out.
Keith, why didn't you just ask her how she could talk to a creep like you?
Keith also wanted to know if Hillary thought there was such a thing as sexism in the media. I kid you not. The entire point of the question being Keith's most fervent hope that he could run 2 weeks worth of hysterical stories accusing the woman of "playing the gender card." Recall that Keith named Elton John as a Worst Person for the hideous crime of speaking the forbidden word: MISOGYNY! (Watch the video for her answer.) Hillary wasn't the only one laughing at Keith!
Big Tent Dem weighs in: One of Hillary Clinton's best moments in the Olbermann interview (ironically, Olbermann revealed the limitations of his abilities in his discussion of the answer later in the program with Richard Wolffe, he has no knowledge at all of deterrence theory), was her answer about the "umbrella of deterrence" against future potential Iranian attacks, especially nuclear, against its neighbors. . Keith Olbermann seemed unable to understand the answer, and his after comments with Wolfe were an embarrassment for him imo.
