"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)

Guest Host: Rachel Maddow

Maybe Keith needs to work on his tan.
Or he's out with Merlot and a fan.
The spin musn't stray far,
So Keith picked his guest star.
For tonight, Rachel Maddow's his man.

Yes, MSNBC rewards Err America for the high intellectual level of their programming by letting one of their comedians host Countdown. With Randi Rhodes unavailable, the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann has decided to let the lovely Rachel Maddow sit in his chair.

If it's Friday, it's our weekly assessment of Krazy Keith's masculinity. During a four-day week, Monkeymann attacked Fox and other broadcasters 26 times. Olby's source (Hillary Clinton's Media Matters) criticized (MS)NBC 15 times, but Keithy protected his corporate masters with zero criticisms. In addition, a five-point penalty for Oralmann's shameless refusal to even mention, let alone utter a syllable of criticism of, the vile remarks of Err America's Randi Rhodes. That makes this week's Olbermann Manhood Quotient: -87 [eunuch limp].

And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 697th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".
