The much anticipated interview between Sarah Palin and Oprah Winfrey finally aired today.  Not surprisingly Keith Olbermann did not have positive reviews of Palin in his coverage.  While Olbermann did not provide extensive commentary on the interview his Olbermann-style wrath could be felt in the way in which he went over each of Palin's answers.

The one explicit criticism Olbermann had for Palin was for her use of the word usage when describing her current career status.  Palin told Oprah that since her loss in the presidential election she is not retreating but "reloading."  Olbermann thought the use of the word of "reloading" was insensitive following the Fort Hood shootings last week.  Palin supporters  would likely argue the connection of Palin's phrase with the Fort Hood shootings is a stretch to say the least.

The other major clip of the interview gaining attention is Palin's attack on Katie Couric.  Palin essentially accuses Couric of playing "gotcha" journalism and insulting Palin's intelligence by asking her what magazines she reads.  Some have said that "what do you read" is hardly a "gotcha" question and that Palin is now simply making excuses for what was a poor interview.
