Olbermann Spanks Clinton campaign

Keith Olbermann, in one of his Special Comments, spanked the Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself over the Geraldine Ferraro fiasco.

 

From last night's Countdown:

"Senator, as it has reached its apex in their tone-deaf, arrogant, and insensitive reaction to the remarks of Geraldine Ferraro, your own advisers are slowly killing your chances to become president. Senator, their words and your own are now slowly killing the chances for any Democrat to become president.

"In your tepid response to this Ferraro disaster, you may sincerely think you are disenthralling an enchanted media and righting an unfair advance bestowed on Senator Obama. You may think the matter has closed with Rep. Ferraro's bitter, almost threatening resignation letter. But in fact, Senator, you are now campaigning as if Barack Obama were the Democrat and you were the Republican. As Shakespeare wrote, Senator, that way madness lies. You have missed a critical opportunity to do what was right."
