Olbermann Plays the Bereaved Son Card in the Richard Wolffe Fiasco

Tonight Keith Olbermann explained why he was ignorant of the fact that one of Countdown ‘s regular political analysts/guest hosts is a working lobbyist — he’s been too distracted grieving his mother’s death. Boy, doesn’t that sound familiar ?! As you may recall, back in May Keith Olbermann lashed out at Cityfile , Wonkette and Gawker for reporting that he’d angrily walked out on MSNBC after losing a Ben Affleck booking to Rachel Maddow

NBC Lays Off Promo Staffers Nationwide; Makes Reporters Flack Their Stories

We’re getting tips that NBC Universal is laying off the creative services staffs—the people that make those awful “news at 11” promo spots—at all of its stations nationwide, and will start producing all promos out of New York.

Would Bill Clinton be his wife’s Chief of Staff? Would that even be Constitutional?

My recent posting about Bubba's new girlfriend has led me to consider more seriously the implications of another Clinton White House, particularly the role that would be played by the former Commander-in-Chief, President Bill Clinton , who would be in a position to exert significant influence over every administration policy, both foreign and domestic. Though I do not think that Hillary Clinton is going to win (or at least I pray daily this is an accurate prediction) I find some comfort in the fact that Bill would likely view his wife's Administration as a vehicle for repairing his own tarnished legacy and would be inclined to take an active role in the policy-making process. But the more I thought about how a Clinton White House would be structured, considering the clear ambiguity and possible conflict of interest that Clinton loyalists may encounter if a situation arose which Bill may think his wife to be misguided, and thus start issuing orders behind the scenes as if he were still the man of the house
