Last night on Countdown, Keith Olbermann sat down with the most unlikely of Bush administration critics - former Bush loyalist and White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
The first question asked was "Who is more surprised that you're here? You or me?" to which Scott replied "I think the White House is probably most surprised". The interview then proceeded to take almost an entire hour and was surprisingly substantive and interesting. I'm glad Olbermann didn't just go for sound bites and quick questions, but instead allowed time to delve into a wide range of issues in detail.
Below, I have assembled a handful of clips that stand out from the interview as particularly interesting. Rather than give my take on each of them in this diary I'll let you blog about whichever segment is interesting to each of you and respond to your comments. Here are the highlights:
