‘Recount’ revives TV film

Keith Olbermann Blows Last Remaining Gasket

time.com     May 27, 2008   1 related          

Posted by James Poniewozik | So while we were away, Sen. Hillary Clinton apparently made an ill-advised reference to the RFK assassination (and the June timing thereof) by way of explaining her continuing run in the Democratic primary. And apparently Keith Olbermann had a thing or two to say...
