Keith Olbermann appropriately takes Senator Clinton to task on her latest "unfortunate" and "brutal" comment.
We cannot forgive you this -- not because it is crass and low and unfeeling and brutal.
This is unforgivable, because this nation's deepest shame, its most enduring horror, its most terrifying legacy, is political assassination.
The politics of this nation is steeped enough in blood, Senator Clinton, you cannot and must not invoke that imagery! Anywhere! At any time!
And to not appreciate, immediately - to still not appreciate tonight - just what you have done... is to reveal an incomprehension of the America you seek to lead.
This, Senator, is too much.
Because a senator - a politician - a person - who can let hang in mid-air the prospect that she might just be sticking around in part, just in case the other guy gets shot - has no business being, and no capacity to be, the President of the United States.

this is all very disturbing to say the least . . .
even if she didn't mean what it sounded like . . . I'm very disturbed by the thoughtlessness of the statement . . . if nothing else . . .
what's also very disturbing to me . . . is that for people like her and Bill . . . who pride themselves on their "word-smithing" . . . to have made so many of these types of remarks during this campaign . . . you have be begin to wonder . . . were they actually blunders or something else . . .
I'm extremely disappointed . . .
