A Keith Olbermann Hint From Morning Joe (The Daily Beast)

Joe Scarborough made an odd comment on Wednesday morning about the Tucson shooting that got me thinking.
Gabriel Sherman was the guest. His recent New York magazine cover on Roger Ailes has provoked a lot of talk. Mika Brzezinski steered the conversation to Tucson. Sherman wrote that it was "a turning point" for Ailes and that Ailes "told all of our guys, 'Shut up, tone it down, make your arguments intellectually'" after the rampage, which some said was tied to the red-hot level of public debate. Brzezinski and Sherman simultaneously used the word "civility" as the Ailes-approved outcome of the tragedy.

Mr. Media interviews Lawrence O'Donnell about 'The Last Word'
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, host of 'The Last Word,' image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email)Soft-spoken political analyst and frequent MSNBC fill-in host Lawrence O’Donnell launched his own show on the Micro-Peacock at 10 p.m. last night.

It seems likely to provide a gentle landing for left-wing political junkies who get progressively more pumped up as they sit through the sometimes hysterical "Ed Show," "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," then need an extra hour to settle back down for bedtime following the cerebral Rachel Maddow.
O’Donnell is a different kind of analyst on MSNBC, which has a well-earned reputation for being a strong voice for Democratic views, despite a day that starts with Republicans "Morning" Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan.
I worried that having Olbermann as one of his first guests last night might be a mistake. I generally enjoy Keith’s caffeinated delivery; his presence reinforced O’Donnell’s more subtle approach in style, if not words. It turned out to be effective because it reinforced that “The Last Word” is not “Countdown,” and that’s a good thing at 10 p.m.

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL Audio Excerpt: "Frequently, because I worked in politics, because I worked in government, in the past, as a host, I've been sitting there knowing more than my guest and I am being forced to ask a question of someone who knows less than I do. And there's an awkward posture to that, that I think we got away with, thanks to my acting skills."
