A tax cheat interviewing a two-faced weasel. All we need is convicted felon John Dean to complete the shady Olbyloon hat trick.

We get a "Liar and a traitor"
From the deadbeat commentator
And felon John Dean
NBC is obscene
How cliche to be a "Bush hater"

I already put this in one post butt I'll add it here too..

Is there any chance that KO will point out that the Publisher of McClellan's book works for Gerorge Soros whose also behind Media Matters who are one of KO's Media Masters that give him his talking points?..no I don't think so either...new Murrow indeed.

I wonder if John Dean will comment on the fact that he has just been fingered as the man who ordered the Watergate break in?

The John Dean analysis will be hilarious.

I must say that Olby is giving reverance to this man and making it entertaining.

Both were clearly nervous going in. I think there is no denying that this is great television.

We're seeing the softer side of Olby.

He should be the pitchman for Sears, if they are still in business.

If Scott called Olby's hand for his WPITW antics, it would even the ledger with me.

Scott McClellan keeps claiming how disillusioned he was while in the employ of the White House. Maybe he was delusional instead.

Every time I think of John Dean, I think of this 1995 letter from "60 Minutes" to one of the authors of "Silent Coup"

Wow, O'Reilly just trashed NBC but good. Great television.

Uh-oh, here comes the conspiracy theories about how the government is going after McClellan. What a bunch of hacks.

God Sefton, is that legitimate? Based on reading Silent Coup, Will, even Nixon's memoirs, it really wouldn't surprise me.

That's straight from the website for "Silent Coup", which has copies of several letters, mostly praising the book. I can just picture Dean back in the 70's sniveling about having to sell everyone out so he wouldn't have to go to jail.

Fat Ass has the audacity (or stupidity) to label his interview an "exclusive". Dictionary.com defines exclusive in relationship to journalism as "a piece of news, or the reporting of a piece of news, obtained by a newspaper or news organization, along with the priviledge of using it first".

Doesn't this blowhard pay attention to the station that employs him? For godsakes, McClellan was on the Today show first thing this morning. By Oralmanns definition, ANY interview could be considered an "exclusive", no matter how many times what's contained in the conversation has already been revealed. What a friggin buffoon.

By the way, McClellan's gonna be on "Washington Journal" tomorrow at 7:30 if anyone wants to try to get through and offer him some thoughts on his "tell-all". Friggin money grubbin' backstabber.

Thought the regulars might like to know that Keith's tax troubles landed us over 20,000 new readers today and we are still getting a couple thousand an hour. Still working on getting Drudge to link it.

Thanks Keith's accountant!!!! :-)

I'm at the "Countdown" website. It looks like Olby spent nearly the entire show with McClellan. I don't see the Media Matters Minute. I guess Edward R. Olbermann had to disguise his show as a news show for his super special guest.

"A primary document of American history." --Man on Fan's description of McClellan's book. It's tertiary at best.

Just to clarify, the '''exclusive" referred to "His (McClellan's) first prime time (first cable) intervue."
--------------------------------------------------

Olby quotes: "To that point, there is, I think, actual poetry in here, and I don't mean to...to...to vainly flatter you here, but let me read something else."

"This next question, and I know it's going to come across, and I can't resist it, it's going to come across to some degree as a self grandizement. But relative to the media, and I'm asking this for every person who ever came up to me on the street and said, 'I feel like I'm going out of my mind living through this, this cannot be the America I grew up in.' Where the critics, in the media and outside the media, of the President largely.....right?"

The kinder, gentler side of Olbywan Canole.

Olbywan Canole referring to partisan warfare: "A truce would be nice."

OK, you go first.

I wonder if KO will acknowledge that McClellan said Bush came to a decision about going to war with Iraq a few months after 9/11 if Saddam refused to come clean, which was not expected to happen. If McClellan is now the spokesperson to be believed about the run-up to the war, he blows away the idea that the war was planned prior to 9/11. It also shows that although no one believed Saddam would submit to the UN resolutions, Bush waited to give him the opportunity. The stubbornness and closed mindedness of Bush are hardly revealing. Bush failed his handling of Katrina, another "bombshell." I also noticed KO's change of subject when McClellan related a story that showed the compassion he saw in the eyes of Bush when they visited Walter Reed. Did anyone notice that John Dean (f) was not greatly thanksed?

I sorry that I'm making a post about this episode two days after the fact, but I wanted to see for myself Keith Oralmann's interview with Scott McClellan. So I just got done seeing the clips on the Countdown site and plus I went to the transcipts and I want to add two points: first, there was no Media Matters Minute, or "WPITW" segment, and second, and more important, on the #4 story, "McClellan responds to critics," neither in that segment, nor anywhere else in the show do they mention about Karl Rove response to McLellan's charges on the Valerie Plame/Joseph Wilson affair, including that the leaker to Bob Novak about Plame's identity as a CIA agent was Richard Armitage, who was the number two man in Colin Powell's State Department, and both was and remains a critic of both President George W Bush and the Iraq war.
