Thanks for the heads-up.

This should be interesting. I don't think it will be on par with the tongue lashings that he has given the Bush Administration in prior Special Comments. He has shown to have a great respect for President Clinton and Senator Clinton, but I've noticed in the past few weeks (especially after the "3 A.M. Call" commercial and Hillary's remarks about how she and Senator McCain are have crossed the "commander-in-chief threshold," whereas Obama hasn't) that Olbermann has become increasingly bothered by the divisive tenor of the campaign.

I think he will essentially say that things have gotten out of hand, both campaigns (Senator Clinton's especially, perhaps) are getting carried away and need to stop and remember that the ultimate goal is to get a Democrat back into the White House. I think this will have the tone of an intervention for both sides.

Again, thanks for the heads-up.

I'd love to hear Howard Wolfson respond to the following questions:

1. Do you think Bill Clinton was a capable C-in-C?

2. What "threshold" did the former President cross before he was elected to his first term? In other words, what national security experience did he have that would have led him to cross this "threshold" you are touting?

3. Given that John McCain has been on the Armed Services Committee a lot longer than Hillary and has served in the US military, isn't it fair to say that he is far more qualified to be C-in-C?

(post spin from question 3)

4. So this is really about Bill Clinton's experience and not Hillary's, right?
