WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Keith Olbermann, a liberal television host whose MSNBC show focused in 1998 on President Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, once apologized to Clinton for his coverage, according to documents released on Friday.

Olbermann sought the president's forgiveness for "whatever part I may have played in perpetuating this ceaseless coverage," according to a White House email describing his apology.

The email was included in a new batch of previously unreleased Clinton administration documents that was made public by the Clinton Presidential Library.

If Clinton had the same press Obama has he’d still be president.

A lotta good that will do. He just wanted the three more minutes attention from the White House. Who are you, and what are you sorry for again?

Sure...nothing wrong with an intern giving lip service to the head of state in the Oval office.

What the freaking heck? Every time the media mentions the grievances against zero that may lead to impeachment, they post pictures of Nixon WHO WAS NOT IMPEACHED, instead of billie jeff bj clinton WHO WAS IMPEACHED.

And sloberman freaking APOLOGIZES to bj????

My head is not longer able to explode. It has done it foo many times.

Olberman was once a sports pundit in Los Angeles. One of his diatribes was on his weight, commenting how he had “lost the equivalent of a bowling ball that he no longer has to carry around.” He had his day naming a conservative every week as “the worst person in the world.”
This idiot does not have a brain and suffice to say he does not deserve one.
