I think his response was based on the sudden total blaming of Clinton by the press. It seems the Clinton blaming has had plenty of time in the light lately, and this editorial is a strong attempt to remind people that Bush is to blame in addition to Clinton, Bush One and even Reagan.
Check out the video at 6:43 - he specifically says that blame should be shared by at least 3 administrations. So will would be correct in the thought that Olbermann is reminding us there is no ONE wrong administration - there have been screwups for years.
