MSNBC has released a partial transcript of Keith Olbermann's interview with Sen. Hillary Clinton.

OLBERMANN: The Republican debate the other night -- you certainly did seem to come up fairly frequently. Do you think they're doing you a favor, a campaign favor, an advertising favor, by mentioning you so often?
CLINTON: Well, I guess if you don't have anything positive to say about yourself or your record or your vision for America, that might be an alternative, but you know, I'm running my campaign. I can't worry about what they're doing. It is something, though, that a lot of my friends have noticed, and one of them I thought, rather funny, who said to me, you know, when you get to be our age, it's kind of nice to have all these men obsessed with you. I guess I could put that spin on it.


No word on if Sen. Clinton cackl... er laughed after the answer. The interview airs tonight on Countdown at 8pmET on MSNBC.

1. LOL...that was funny

[rodeodance]

2. ha ha. heads up. He is on next

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. That Was Clever

eom

[glowing]

4. No, sweety... they are obssessed with becoming President and will

mow you down... has nothing to do with your being a woman... get off the woman band wagon and run a campaign on the issues. I am so not ammused by this lady.

[rinsd]

8. Just yesterday she unveiled her 401K plan.

Missed you on those threads.

But apparently her responding with a quip about the douchebag line up of GOP candidates is what attracted your attention.

[glowing]

18. Well, she needs to stick to those lines and stop putting herself in this

special class because she has breasts... I've never done that in my job and believe me I could... a double D could take me far, but I prefer to where a suit jacket and use my brain.

9. I'm not amused by her, either.

I'm impressed.

And well, maybe I'm a little amused at that particular answer. :-)

17. woa

[xchrom]

10. that response gets the DU'H award of the week. n/t

[glowing]

19. Thanks.. I never had one of those before.

[calteacherguy]

5. Clever, funny answer. And also very politically adept. nt

[BootinUp]

6. Hillary doesn't miss a beat. n/t

[Rhythm and Blue]

7. Okay, that's a clever, intelligent, and even cute answer. I like it. nt

[tekisui]

11. It's a sexist comment.

[Clintonista2]

12. Umm sexist how?

She made the comment ABOUT HERSELF.

[tekisui]

14. I sounds like sexism to me.

Imagine a man saying same thing. She is stereotyping the role of a woman of her age getting attention from men.

[BootinUp]

13. Oh lord.

A woman who is not afraid to make a joke with sexual connotations, what will we ever do.

[bluedog]

15. that was a good come back

they probably do say her name more than their own wifes name...lol

[rinsd]

16. I was simultaneously revolted and tickled to read that.

"they probably do say her name more than their own wifes name"

Great line!
