Lawrence O'Donnell

Tonight was excellence in broadcast journalism. Instead of playing the waiting game until the heat got to high, like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann took the bull by the horns and made an on air apology tonight. The apology wasn't for something Keith did, but rather for something Lawrence O'Donnell did. Last night on Countdown O'Donnell said that John Edwards was not a factor in the Democratic race. While many might agree with him, O'Donnell didn't disclose the fact that he wrote a piece last week calling for Edwards to quit and saying how he was the southern white man standing in the way of the black man. I blogged about that piece here.

UPDATE:

I'll let Bob explain why
