Olbermann has this as the 4th story I think. Story up now is about Clinton's embrace of McCain, and her belittling of Obama. This is going to be a great show folks.

Cheesy I know, but I wanted everyone to see this before it was too late.

Opps, guess I need to add a bit as I just made the rec list with the worst diary ever. My apologies, I got caught up trying to fill in details in the comment section, for the benefit of those without cable. Also... I got caught up in Keith's coverage as well, which I will briefly describe. Many have posted the juicy bits already in the comments, so I direct you to their efforts. Needless to say, this is on the rec list for only one reason, because Keith was doing great stuff. Unfortunately, I had no idea what the stories were until Keith did his opening bit, so I had to get the thing up as quick as possible.

Olbermann covered the recent breaking news that it was in fact the Clinton campaign that contacted the Canadian government, in order to reassure them that what Hillary was saying about NAFTA was purely for the Rubes. Geez, they really do play by Republican rules don't they? I mean, the Repukes always seem to project/projectile vomit their own sleaze onto their opponents, and now Hillary copies them. Olbermann also had an great segment about Clinton's current tactics, including her embrace of McCain in which Richard Wolfe compared Hillary to Lieberman.

All I can say is that the Clinton's are true believers, stuck in time. They think the current electorate is the same as the one they faced in the 90's, and therefore it's best to get as close to the Republicans as possible. They  cannot see the forest for the trees, apparently.

Maybe Obama is more right than I have realized before now, the same old players seem to be completely captive to the same old thinking, and remain blind to the coming revolution. Perhaps today will be known as the day Hillary jumped the shark.
