Good piece. Olbermann haters watch it and weap.

(The beginning and end paraphrased for brevity)

Imagine if somehow Mousavie ends up becoming president after this "if there's even the slightest appearance that he owes his position to the United States, he's going spend the next four years of his presidency batting away constant allegations that he's some sort of American puppet. That's not a great start. Imagine if during the cold war, during the height of the cold war, Walter Mondale, in 1984, had won his election and then a couple of months later it turned out that the Russians had helped him, that's the sort of scneario" we're talking about with this.
