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.

Look,in any real world a 50 year old married man, let a lone the President of the United States, taking that kind of advantage of a 22 year old college kid would get thrown out of any respectable institution in the country. As a matter of fact, if you return to 1998 and listen to the talking Dems the next day - they all repeated the same thing - if this is true he has to go. Then they let him lie and deny, until he couldn’t.

There is something really wrong with Bill Clinton, he has severe psycho-sexual problems that manifested themselves in a self-destructive way. Paula Jones, Juannita Broaddrick, Kathy Willey, and countless others - real abuse, harassment and rape. The fact is that these horrible acts were hushed up by a compliant media, for the most part. The irony is that the one who struck at him almost fatally was none other than David Brock, writing for the American Spectator. He recorded Clinton running around with the Arkansas State Troopers, procuring countless women for hundreds of sexual acts, natural and otherwise, much of it during working hours, on behalf of the citizens of Arkansas. Those articles were priceless.

(Has Brock done a Maoist dunce-capped self-denunciation of his work?)

No one has to apologize for anything, Clinton deserved every brick that came his way.

Keith never got the memo that ‘Network’ was supposed to be satire and not an instructional video.

Really? Is anyone surprised at what the a$$hole will do to keep his name in the news? Why need Knee pads when he is bent over getting his stool pushed in?

Gay Bar habitue, Keith O.

He sucked when he was on KTLA, and he sucks now. He should know about giving a Lewinsky.

February 11, 1998 Hillary Clinton... “it will slowly dissipate over time under the weight of its own insubstantiality.”

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... Sure it will. HAHAHAH!


Or, maybe it will build and build until it explodes, and then after some time the story will reignite and build up again.

Did Keith’s apology involve knee pads?

"Has Brock done a Maoist dunce-capped self-denunciation of his work?"

Yes!

And then some.

After he received a one million dollar advance from the American Spectator for his book, the Hillary biography, he shifted gears and decided that he was "sorry" for the pain he caused Bill.

Then David Brock disavowed EVERYTHING he ever investigated, like Anita Hill.

I KNOW that Soros pays the guy handsomely, but if I were a leftist, I would NEVER trust the POS again.

Mr. Brock: "Were you lying then, or now?
