Keith Olbermann was extraordinary tonight. He knows how to interview, including Scott McClellan.

[Faygo Kid]

It was a wonderful, in-depth interview asking Scott McClellan the questions I wanted answered.

And then it followed with John Dean.

Extraordinary. Brilliant. His best show ever, except maybe one with a Special Comment.

1. KO should consider running for office nt

[enough]

7. No, we need him to keep doing this.

[Cha]

12. Yeah, he's more important where he is than

he could be in politics. The US media is full of cancer and KO is an healthy oasis.

[Prophet 451]

9. No

He needs to be on the outside, speaking truth to power.

2. Overall, very impressive but one singular statement stood out

At the very end, Keith said he didn't mean to unduly flatter McClellan (words to this effect), but he, Olbermann, would not be surprised to see McClellan's book used in future classrooms to teach students important historical lessons. (entirely paraphrasing)

I thought that was a big WOW.

14. Yes, that was quite a moment. I am still reveling in that show today. Brilliant.

That show was worthy in every way of Edward R. Murrow, who Keith so clearly admires. The "wow" factor doesn't even begin to describe it.

15. I would not have thought it was possible, but in that interview

Keith Olbermann outdid himself. I will never forget that show.

Did you notice the comfort level McClellan had reached with Keith, right from the inception of the interview?

3. KO was extraordinary tonight. Best political interview that I've seen in a while

:applause:

[DevonRex]

4. I thought it was good, too. He asked some tough questions, so

nobody could say he was fawning over the guy just for betraying W.

[K Gardner]

5. Standing Ovation for Keith and the kind of journalism we rarely see. !! Encore :-)

[Danger Mouse]

6. anyone got a link to the highlights?

[IndyOp]

8. You can watch everything at his new website -- and his show gets data showing

how many viewers watch online. Only one crappy commercial per clip...

10. the bit about Iran was the question I wanted asked.

[Danger Mouse]

11. thanks for the link!

:)

13. I think Keith has a new best friend....and, maybe Scott's only friend in

politics right now. But, we'll take him.

[sfam]

16. Lets face it, this was a softball, but he did hit it out of the park...

I LOVED the question asking whether the left-wing was right after all. TOOO perfect!
