Olbermann discussed JKR's comments re DD earlier this evening

[arielock2001]

Hi all,

Keith Olbermann discussed JKR's comments about DD's sexuality tonight as his #1 story. If 
you get MSNBC, his show is being rerun now (midnight EST).

 The segment ran for about 10 minutes, and he and guest Chris Cizzliza (sp?) discussed 
whether or not it was foreshadowed in the books, and what potential implications this 
revelation might have on the series as a whole.
 
Keith (who has admitted to being a rabid HP fan and was the person who introduced her at 
the Carnegie Hall/ Open Book Tour event) and Chris also discussed JKR's new comments 
(made to Keith backstage before he introduced her) about current political events and how 
her opinions shaped the direction of the last three novels.  Both commentators agreed that 
it was now possible to completely reevaluate the series as a whole viewed through a 
political lens.

Please don't send me a howler for posting this after the segment aired. 
I tried to post the alert to the main list a few minutes after 8pm EST (when the topics of 
the evening's show were listed) so that anyone who was interested could watch, but I kept 
being told that it was "off-topic," and my posts were rejected.  The discussion of 
Olbermann's program was so completely "on-topic" to the posts currently being discussed 
in the main group that I really wouldn't be surprised if Olbermann and Cizzliza were 
members of HPfGU. 

If you miss the rerun at midnight, it may wind up on YouTube.  I hope it does, because I 
think anyone who has been discussing JKR's comments might enjoy watching two more 
Grown-ups analyze the series.

Thought ya'all might like to know,
Arianna (who is really annoyed that her posts were rejected even though she has been a 
member of HPfGU since at least 2003, and posted -unmoderated- without hassle 
numerous times before)
