Keith Olbermann reported tonight that Dana Milbank will no longer be appearing on Countdown. It Milbank was banned from appearing on Countdown until he answered Olbermann’s questions about this column where it was alleged that Milbank took Senator Obama’s words out of context.

The way Olbermann described it tonight was that if Milbank didn’t answer those questions, he was going to be kicked off the program anyway.

Transcript available tomorrow here.

A Wikipedia entry, fwiw, has Milbank moving to CNN:

On August 4th, in his Best Persons in the World segment, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann announced that Milbank was permanently leaving Countdown in favor of another television program. Airing opposite Countdown, Milbank was seen on CNN Election Center with Campbell Brown as a contributor.

UPDATE: Olbermann blogged about the move on Daily Kos.
