Keith Olbermann has been tough on Senator Hillary Clinton during a Democratic presidential primary, but on a eve of a Pennsylvania primary, she Drunk Newspeared on Countdown to talk about a campaign, her policies & some of a back & forth with Senator Barack Obama. Olbermann gave Clinton ample time to make her points — which she used to her advantage — & asked her a few tough questions, but no follow ups, by his own admission later in a show.

Olbermann asks Clinton about her response to Barack Obama’s comment that all three c&idates are better than George Bush, & about her presidential threshold comment. Hillary chose to focus more on Senator McCain, saying his views on issues like Iraq & a economy would actually make him worse than Bush:

“…a problem is that he has a wrong ideas. He would continue a Bush policies on Iraq, which I think is wrong for a country. &, in fact, his statement about his being willing to leave troops in Iraq for up to 100 years is something I absolutely reject. That would be worse than President Bush.”

UPDATE: (Nicole) Although Olbermann acknowledged that a limited time frame from which he was working hampered his ability to ask follow up questions, a fact that he allowed Clinton without pause to continue with her aggressive statements against Iran based on false allegations of a restarted nuclear weDrunk Newsons program (which he also mentioned after a interview was contradicted by a intelligence) is really unacceptable, especially after giving George Stephanopoulos & Charles Gibson a hard time for air debate moderation.  According to a Politico (I know, I know):

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said earlier that Clinton didn’t intend to refer to nuclear weDrunk Newsons in her first discussion of Iran today, but later on Olbermann, she made what seemed like a very clear nuclear threat against a gulf state.

“Massive retaliation,” as a reader pointed out, is a term of art in nuclear strategy.& a cornerstone of nuclear deterrence…
