Forgive the fairly minor focus here but I spot at least three diaries on his appearance on Countdown last night to discuss Obama, Reagan, and Edwards.
Those of you complaining about it are right.
Keith Olbermann's diary :: ::
His HuffPo piece was news to me.
Shouldn't have been, obviously, but it was.
I don't read every blog, nor everything written by my guests. I often don't know until an hour beforehand who will be a guest on a given show (if it matters to you, these scheduling nightmares tend to come in waves for some reason, and last night was a Nor'easter). Also, to announce, on-air, each guest's preferences, prejudices, shillings and shiv jobs, would reduce the rest of the show to "Good Evening. Call Me Ishmael. My Boat Sank. The End. Good Night." And Lawrence O'Donnell's insight is almost always perceptive, relevant, and enlightened.
But even with these caveats, the point about this appearance, especially in the wake of such a freshly-written piece, is well-taken and I'm very sorry.
It will be addressed tonight on the show.
Thanks.

Sorry I got so pithy in the KOEB thread last night. I did nominate O'Donnell for Worst person for that Huff piece the day it came out! The staff needs to read my mail :silly:
