I'll let Olbermann say exactly what I was thinking about this whole Ferraro uproar.

Transcript follows the fold.

Olbermann on the whole "issue:"

A couple thoughts:
When did Clinton suddenly become an advocate for guns? If I didn't know any better, I would swear she was pandering to Pennsylvania voters. Never!

I can't say that I like Obama's latest lines about Clinton. Pointed and at times humorous, one could say that they are justified. But to me, it smacks of childish politics. I liked it better when he was above all that. This is the real cost of the prolonged Democratic race: it has nowhere to go but down.

But... I find it heartening that Clinton was jeered when she brought up the controversy again.

Hillary Clinton appeared on Countdown last night and posited the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction (a la Eisenhower), though not in as many words. While I see what she's getting at, I don't think such a strategy would work this time around. The Soviets and the the Extremolamicerrorists (or whatever we're calling this nebulous enemy) are two radically different threats. While the Soviets could be counted on to do what was in their best interests -- i.e., not destroy themselves -- the current enemy cannot. We are currently dealing with a group who has no regard for their own lives and in fact, in many cases, pursue death with frightening zealotry. I shudder to think of what might happen if the US adopts a neo-MAD policy. What quicker way, in the minds of our enemies, to meet those 72 virgins and send the infidels to hell (or rather, the Islamic equivalent), than to start a nuclear war?

Olbermann really puts McCain's comment into context. Good stuff.

An interesting article on Keith Olbermann.
