Babington wrote piece before Obama's speech was finished

Obama's speech ended just shy of 11 p.m. ET. Babington's attack piece was posted at:
Aug 28, 11:26 PM EDT
The piece is 603 words. So we are to believe, that Babington watched the speech, gave it due consideration, wrote it, turned it in, had it go through editing, had it go through copyediting, and had it posted online -- all in 26 minutes?
Update: Full Olbermann reaction:
Mr. Babington got the length of the speech wrong by at least 7 minutes. And this is analysis that will be printed in many, many newspapers, hundreds of them around the country. It is analysis that strikes me as having born no resemblance to the speech you and I just watch. None whatsoever. And for it to be distributed by the lone national news organization in terms of wire copy to newspapers around the country and websites is a remarkable failure of that news organization.
Charles Babington. Find. New. Work.
