Hillary wades into the left-wing cable TV news swamp; Plus: Monday Night Raw
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear on bottom-feeding MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann show tonight, according to TalkLeft.
She’ll also be on Larry King Live.
The Nation thinks the first interview will be “memorable” and anticipates hardball questions:
She will do three segments on CNN’s Larry King Show.
The CNN promo reads: “Larry King Monday Night! Hillary Clinton! Hours before what may be the final showdown with Barack Obama — Hillary Clinton talks to Larry King! Could their conversation change your vote? Find out only on Larry King Live!”
Clinton will also appear on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”
Here’s the MSNBC promo: “On the eve of the primary election we’ve all been waiting for, tonight at 8pm ET Keith will host an interview with Senator Clinton on her lead the Democratic Pennsylvania Primary (First Read is calling it Hillary’s Race to Lose)…and what happens after all the votes are counted in the Keystone state. Obama over the weekend said “This is not going to be a blow-out race. We’re looking for a win, and we think it’s going to be close.” It’s going to be an amazing next 48 hours…we hope you tune in.”
Guess which interview will have more teeth to it?
Here’s a hint: More than a month ago, Olbermann directed a special comment toward Clinton, saying, “You are campaigning as if Barack Obama were the Democrat and you were the Republican.”
If the Countdown host’s questions simply explore that line of analysis, MSNBC will be offering American — and, more importantly, Pennsylvania — memorable viewing tonight.
Snort.
Two words: Manage expectations.
If you’re looking for “teeth,” you need to remember that this is the same sycophant who preeningly handed money to Bill Clinton during an interview about his charity and left such a huge puddle of drool on the set that it was declared a flood hazard.
***
In other campaign news, the Hillary camp is denying the Drudge Report’s banner headline alleging that Clinton’s internal polls show her ahead by 11 points.
Gotta manage those expectations.

Allahpundit raises expectations of the Olberdrooler:
Normally I’d expect nothing less than total obsequiousness from Olby, even though he’s been demagoging her for weeks, but the chance to sandbag her on the eve of the primary and thereby forever endear himself to the left should be enough to squeeze a tough interview even out of him.
Speaking of heightening anticipation, the publicists for WWE wrestling just e-mailed me about the presidential candidates’ taped appearances tonight on Monday Night Raw:
April 21, 2008
CLINTON, OBAMA MCCAIN FIGHT FOR YOUR VOTE ON “MONDAY NIGHT RAW®” TONIGHT
STAMFORD, Conn., April 21, 2008 — The night before an important Pennsylvania primary, Presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain will each make a very special appearance on athree-hour edition ofWWE®’s “Monday Night RAW” tonight on the USA Network starting at 8 p.m. ET.
The three Presidential candidates intend to tap into the power of the more than five million viewers who each week tune in towatch RAW, making it the number one weekly year round show on cable. In particular, Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama will be appealing for votes from WWE fans in Pennsylvania, where they are locked in a tight primary battle. An invitation from the WWE to have Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama appear on RAW to settle the Democratic nomination process in the wrestling ring was the catalyst fortonight’s appearances by the three top Presidential contenders, who each will address the WWE audience in specially taped messages.
Who deserves to win the biggest Championship match in the country? Tune in Monday to hear what the candidates have to say.
WWE encourages its fans in Pennsylvania to Smackdown Your Vote! foryour favorite candidate on Tuesday.

“you need to remember that this is the same sycophant who preeningly handed money to Bill Clinton during an interview about his charity and left such a huge puddle of drool on the set that it was declared a flood hazard.”
Now that’s funny stuff….
Who’da thunk it from an Asian woman who’s never been in the backwoods? / sarc
Not to the three viewers who will be watching.
Hey Keith, how are those “eight new schools” in Kenya doing?
Well, she is the “Worst Person in the World”.
If she’s going to be on Keith Olbermann’s show that means one can count on one’s fingers the number of people who’ll see it. In spite of all of the rhetoric, he still gets a fraction of the veiwers that Bill O’Reilly gets.
Keith Olbermann? MSNBC? They’re still around? Well, that’s a shock.
More like lowered expectations -although I am not sure whose expectations are being lowered…
Like Barry Bonds in a bikini.
jr, she’s been in the woods, it’s just that VR has never seen her there! It’s a trick she learned at journalism school in China! “Whom” would have thought?

Thanks alot! Now I’ll have that image stuck in my head for the rest of the day!
Try replacing it with sHillary in a bikini, tre.
See? No more image of Bond to bother with.
I’ll see that and raise you Keith Olbermann in a bikini
I’m not much of a wrestling (a.k.a. wrasslin’) fan but I would pay to watch a smackdown between Clinton and Obama. I think she could take him in a cage match.
Oooooh! Geeez! That one could stick with you for a while.
Okay. I’ll see your Olbermann and raise you one Larry King in a thong!
“jr, she’s been in the woods, it’s just that VR has never seen her there! It’s a trick she learned at journalism school in China! ”
Must be a Filipino / Chinese / Asian Ninja trick.
Olbermann in a bikini KISSING Larry King in a thong.
My wife says I am sick.
Reluctantly, I have to agree with Mrs. Soap
Barry Bonds, Olbermann, Larry King - bikinis, thongs….
Good God, talk about a fear-factor stunt in the making…
Keith Olbergirl is such a loser and so is msnbc..Nobody watches msnbc and the dribble they spew..
Somehow I doubt the “reluctantly” part.
Keithy is a girly man. As soon as the cameras roll, he’ll start kissing her a$$. I think hes trying to keep a foot in both camps. Ya know, I’ve seen mud puddles deeper than this guy.
As long as you don’t contaminate the Soaplet, it’s all good!
Alright, y’all had me in the bathroom tossing my lunch for a while with all of these sick, perverted images.
The WWE is by far the most credible viewing of the night. Olbermann replaces Owen Hart as the “little nugget”. “Marks” will get that one.
Which show’s appearance is going to be seen by more viewers tonight: King’s, Olbermann’s, or the cable powerhouse that is Monday Night Raw’s? If you watch Raw (which I might), pay attention to the reactions you’ll hear and see from the audience in the arena. The show is being shot in Greenville, SC.
This is coming from the same company that goes to Iraq to entertain the troops and who put on a nationally-televised show just a couple of days after 9/11.
Keith Olbermann gets paid almost 3 million to act like a circus freak down at Coney Island; a Walter Cronkite wanna be.
This can’t be confirmed or denied but rumor has it an envelope full of white powder was sent to Keith’s office. Keith reacted by curling up into the fetal position crying for someone to take it away. If you can confirm this please post. Lol
Do I need a cholrea shot to watch on TV? Wait, that was NASCAR. They will show an occasional bitter fan clinging to his Bible and his gun won’t they?
My wife says I am sick.
Okay. I too would have to concur with Mrs. Soap!
Huh? Why would Hillary ever go on Olberman?
Who’s Keith Olbermann?
Okay. I give! My stomach is starting to turn. *blech*
My vote is for The Undertaker. I’d like to see him use the “choke-slam” on Olby.
Barry, in the seat pocket of the seat in front of you, you’ll find an airsickness baq. When you have used it, notify your steward/stewardess and they will dispose of it for you
Man! There is not enough mental bleach in the world to wipe the image of all the above folks in a bikini or a thong. Good thing I already at lunch.
Thanks. I’m eating my Tums® now.
I call ya and raise ya Olbermann in a bikini kissing Larry King in a thong in Central Park wearing nooses tied to each other’s um…Little Keith.
I get the feeling this WWE announcement is just a stunt. At least, I hope so.
Why do I envision a male wrestler in drag pretending to be Sen. Clinton?
Ooooh! Geez! I’m going to run out of Tums®, if we keep this up.
Better watch close to see if you can tell the difference.
Was that over the line? Nah.
are they going to have a presidency on a pole match .
What’s really funny wwe caters more to kids so out of the 5 million a week that watch I would imagine half are under 18 years old and cannot vote.
Can you smell what The ba-Rock is cooking .
Ugh! I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I’ll raise you:
Olbermann & King in Shrill pant suits and Shrill in a thong.
Chris Matthew’s leg was not available for comment.
I watched wrestling with my dad when I was growing up and will occasionally tune in if there’s nothing else on.
That being said, if this is true and the three of them are a part of tonight’s broadcast and it isn’t one of McMahon’s stuns, I will be absolutely f’ing disgusted.
ok if BHO is the rock
and McCain is Flair { I would go more twords SCSA}
who is hillary ??
may young
Preveiw of tonights Monday Night Raw
Mojack
McCain in no Ric Flair(the 2nd coolest Republican of all-time behind Clint Eastwood).
McCain is more Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Obama= The Rock
Hillary= HHH
Olbermann really belongs on PBS where his pedantic left wing psuedo-intellectualism could be shared with friends.
Following one of his frequent childish anti-Bush tirades I wonder what they use to get his spittle of the camara lenses.
This guy is a piece of work!
stone cold john McCain
Oh my! Shrill & BO double-teams Maverick. Maverick puts BO in the Figure-Four. BO screams, “POTUS”! in submission.
What finger will you counting on tre? If Miss Hillary is the “Worst Person in the World” Michelle Hussein Obama is closing fast.
I had heard that Miss Hillary, the “Worst Person in the World” was going to be on Hardball, but Chris Matthews hadn’t washed his leg yet.
For those who didn’t see the interview:
Olbermann was nice to Hillary while he was interviewing her.
Then, after Hillary left the show, Olbermann and friends trashed Hillary.
Off topic, but I bought the comic book that swap thing pciture came from when it was first published about 20 years ago.
None?
