Hot Air has the clips of the heated Terry McAuliffe appearance on MSNBC last night. After Sen. Hillary Clinton's victory speech, Keith Olbermann asked the Clinton supporter for his take. "I'm sure it sent shivers up Chris Matthews leg," he said (apparently in addition to the usual thrills and chills).

Matthews brushed it off at the time, but later took McAuliffe to task for the constant ribbing. "I don't mind you using me as a punching bag, but at least get it through your head, you're arguing with a straw man here," he said. "Everybody in our business of covering politics loves doing it, loves the excitement of it, and has no interest whatever in it ending."

What followed were some heated cross talk, laughter from Matthews and what the anchor really wants out of the Democratic race.

Head over to Hot Air for that video, or click continued to see the "shivers" clip that set it off...

Radar is reporting FNC anchor Bill O'Reilly will address the Inside Edition clip leaked online this week tonight on "The O'Reilly Factor," at 8pmET.

On Monday, O'Reilly told TVNewser, "That video was just me practicing for my conversations with Geraldo."

"Word from a credible source is that, although said topic may not be on the show's official rundown, O'Reilly is planning to tackle it tonight, however briefly," reports Radar.

Stephen Colbert defended his "mentor" last night for the leaked 20-year-old "we'll do it live!" video of FNC's Bill O'Reilly when he anchored the "Polk Award winning series," Inside Edition. Colbert's take — it was Sting's fault. Then, as a defense of O'Reilly, Colbert played his own video, showing an outburst from his time at WPTS in Patterson Spring, North Carolina. Featuring an off camera cameo from a certain broadcast anchor:

Normally, you would have seen Howard Fineman on MSNBC last night, but the 2008 primary season has been far from normal. So last night, the Newsweek columnist/senior Washington correspondent/deputy D.C. Bureau Chief and NBC News analyst added another title: author. Fineman was feted by his TV and magazine colleagues for his new book The Thirteen American Arguments. No argument from Brian Williams and his wife Jane and Newsweek editor Jon Meacham and his wife Keith. They threw the bash.

Williams arrived after anchoring West Virginia primary updates, while Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Tim Russert were 40 blocks away dissecting the Clinton win. Fineman thanked all four by name, describing himself as the "adjunct professor" at NBC, his "home away from home."

Fineman heaped praise on his boss, Meacham, saying he was like a wiser, younger brother while Matthews was "the annoying older brother who never lets you speak."

Also in attendance, ABC News president David Westin, Nightly News EP Alex Wallace, Dateline EP David Corvo, the NYTimes' David Brooks, former Newsweek editor Mark Whitaker, now SVP at NBC News and Newsweekers Dan Klaidman and Jonathan Alter.

Remember the 7,500-word New York Times "examination" of military television analysts and their involvement with the Pentagon? The Huffington Post's Rachel Sklar spends 3,000 words examining the NYT's examination.

Her findings — "They proved their case against the Pentagon, hands down. But they did not prove their case against the generals and other military men whom they name-dropped in that story. Which means they did not necessarily prove their case against the networks."

• The Pentagon case was proven by, "forcing the Pentagon to (finally) release the 8,000 pages of transcript."

• The case against the military men themselves was not, because, "he painted with way too broad a brush."

• The network argument was not proven either, Sklar writes, because, even though the, "networks fumbled this ball by not addressing the story head on," the story made, "sweeping statements about network culpability."

That's the crux of the argument — check the full piece for far more detail.

The Hollywood Reporter's Paul J. Gough interviews FNC anchor Chris Wallace about the Obama Watch triumph, the F&F flap and other 2008 presidential election issues.

Wallace described an Obama campaign staffer's initial reaction to the Obama Watch clock: "His reaction was that it was obnoxious."

But Wallace was happy with the results. "Now I say it was obnoxious and effective. More important was his defeat in Pennsylvania and his lopsided defeat among white, working class voters," he said.

Wallace also reflected on the March's Fox & Friends argument, saying, "We're still friends. I think that some people were put out and I can understand their being put out. As I've reflected, and I have reflected on it since then, I still feel the way I did."

Gough asks Wallace about the possibility of him joining his father at CBS as anchor of the CBS Evening News. "I don't think they would offer it to me, but if they did, I would let you and everybody else know I had been offered it because it would be good bragging rights," he said. "But I'd say no."

Hannah Storm's new job at ESPN comes with a bonus — 20 minutes' extra Z-time.

But at 4 a.m., who's counting?

As co-anchor of ESPN's new morning "SportsCenter," Storm says she'll get up at 4:30 a.m. instead of 4:10, as she did for the past five years on CBS's "Early Show."

Then it's a 1 hour, 20-minute commute from "the far reaches of Connecticut" to ESPN HQ in Bristol for the 9 a.m.-to-noon "SC," to launch in August. Like any good jock, Storm labels her co-host "a player to be named later."

After five years of vampire hours — and bloodletting, for that matter — at CBS, why would any sane mortal choose the same shift somewhere else?

"I want to be home when my kids get off the bus," says Storm, 45, in an interview a few hours after yesterday's announcement. "I won't compromise on not being there when the kids are home. I take my family life first, then work backwards from there."

Storm and her husband, NBC golf announcer Dan Hicks, have three daughters, ages 7, 9 and 11.

During her previous sports career, at NBC and CNN, Storm worked all hours and was constantly on the road. In '02, when her eldest was about to start kindergarten, Storm promised her she would take a day job.

The day job ended suddenly in December, when CBS told her she was out. She says the network offered her another post "anchoring and reporting," but she passed. No details, except it wasn't Katie Couric's "CBS Evening News," Storm says.

CNBC anchor Erin Burnett hit the ground running as she reports from India this week. Shortly after landing in New Delhi, there were several explosions in Jaipur, about 150 miles away. Burnett reported on the attacks live by phone for Street Signs, the show she'd normally be anchoring. She's also scheduled for a cross-talk tonight on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

We've held off posting this story today, mostly because we don't usually report on the news of local news. But we've heard from you today, so here goes. If you haven't heard about it, Sue Simmons a 28-year veteran anchor at WNBC dropped the F bomb last night during a prime time promo for News4 New York at 11 (might be NSFW, unless your boss uses the F word a lot, in that case, it's entirely SFW):



At the end of the first block of the broadcast, Simmons said, "We need to acknowledge an unfortunate mistake that I made in one of the teases we bring to you before this program. While we were live just after 10 O'Clock, I said a word that many people find offensive. I'm truly sorry, it was a mistake on my part and I sincerely apologize."

Two new repackaged programs debuted on Fox Business Network yesterday as part of their shuffled daytime line-up. "Countdown to the Closing Bell," (anchored by Liz Claman) at 3pmET and "Fox Business Bulls & Bears," at 4pmET (anchored by Claman and David Asman) feature new logos and graphics:

60 Minutes has been issued an order by the Greater Manchester (UK) Police to hand over notes of interviews with reformed British Jihadist Hassan Butt. Correspondent Bob Simon interviewed Butt for a story that aired in March, 2007.

The Press Gazette (UK) reports that the BBC, the Sunday Times and Prospect magazine have also been "issued with orders under schedule five of the Terrorism Act 2000."

60 Minutes spokesperson Kevin Tedesco tells TVNewser, "We plan to vigorously contest this demand for our unpublished material."

The British network and publications are expected to appear in court later this week in Manchester to oppose the order.

An emailer writes: hmmm. Just asking: From Sept. 2006 until yesterday hung a billboard on the front of the CBS Broadcast Center promoting the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Today, there is nothing there.

Insiders tell TVNewser the billboard was taken down for repairs and cleaning and should be back up by the end of the week.

> More from an emailer: WCBS-TV reported and showed yesterday that the Katie Couric ad came down during yesterday's storms. I'm not sure if they took it down for safety reasons or if it fell but it's definitely weather-related.

> More, more from an insider: Couric billboard came partly undone due to wind and was fully removed for safety reasons. Will be reinstalled by the end of the week.

A strong night of political coverage helped CNN and MSNBC jump a few spots in the weekly cable ranker for last week, but FNC remained firmly in first place. In prime time, FNC came in fifth for the week — the 17th week (out of 19) in which FNC finished in the top 5 cable channels during prime time in 2008.

In Total Day, FNC finished #7, CNN came in 15th and MSNBC finished 27th.
