Olberman: The Hillary Clinton Interview

Keith Olbermann has been tough on Senator Hillary Clinton during the Democratic presidential primary, but on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, she appeared on Countdown to talk about the campaign, her policies and some of the back and forth with Senator Barack Obama. Olbermann gave Clinton ample time to make her points — which she used to her advantage — and asked her a few tough questions, but no follow ups, by his own admission later in the show. Olbermann acknowledged that the limited time frame from which he was working hampered his ability to ask follow up questions, the fact that he allowed Clinton without pause to continue with her aggressive statements against Iran based on false allegations of a restarted nuclear weapons program (which he also mentioned after the interview was contradicted by the intelligence) is really unacceptable, especially after giving George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson a hard time for their debate moderation.
