The Olbermann Watch Research Division thought it might be instructive to pour through the MSNBC online transcripts (it sure beats watching the infamous, deplorable one) to see how much attention was paid to various stories over the past week.

• racist/racism/racial: 83
• palin: 67
• beck: 43
• acorn: 7
• iraq: 2

Talking Points: President Obama's Address to a Joint Session of Congress Tonight

• When the President is finished speaking tonight, everyone who listens will understand that his plan has at its core two overriding goals: to bring stability and security to Americans who have insurance today, and affordable coverage to those who don't.

o The President's plan will bring reforms that will reduce the unsustainable growth in the cost of health care, which has doubled in the last decade and will continue to rise at that untenable pace unless we act.

• From the beginning of this process, the President has said that he believes reform should be bipartisan. And the plan he outlines tonight will be consistent with that goal - it will contain Republican proposals and Democratic proposals.

o So the Republicans will have to decide whether they are genuine in their wish to work in a bipartisan manner, or whether they will continue to vote against proposals they have said are key to reform.

• He will clearly lay out what health reform means to Americans - both those that have insurance now and those that don't. He will also be clear about health reform doesn't mean - clearing up the confusion that has been fomented by the special interests and defenders of the status quo.

• He will also answer the big questions about how to move the health reform process forward and make clear exactly what he considers real reform to be.

• It is important to recognize how far we have come.

o Four of the five House and Senate committees have marked up bills. Today Senator Baucus, who chairs the fifth committee, announced that his committee will move to markup shortly. Among those bills there is, essentially, 80 percent agreement, and each of them is in line with the principles the President has laid out.

• We are entering a new phase in the debate.

o Now is the time to begin pulling together the various strands of the bills that have been written and the solutions that have been proposed to create a final product that lowers costs, ensures that Americans cannot be denied coverage because they get sick, and provides access to affordable health care for all.

o As the President will say tonight, he is not the first president to take up the cause of health reform but he is determined to be the last.

• Members heard a lot from their constituents over August - including stories from people who are struggling with the rising cost of health care or who have been denied coverage because they or someone in their family got sick. One thing has became crystal clear to any member who really spent time talking to constituents last month: Doing nothing is not an option.

• After this speech, opponents of health reform will need to either propose their own plan or explain why they think it is best to do nothing while health care costs continue to rise 3 times faster than wage, millions of Americans continue to be denied coverage because they got sick, and insecurity continues to grow. In just 2 years, 1 in 3 Americans experienced a gap in coverage. What the President will offer the country is stability and security in our health insurance system.

On Gov. Palin's Attacks:

• Every non partisan organization that has looked at her claims say they are false. And the ideas in her op-ed are both scary and risky. Eliminating Medicare and giving our seniors vouchers instead is a bad idea that we shouldn't adopt.

This is the recappers' comment thread for tonight's Hour of Spin. This is the show where the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann unveils his special snitchers' tipline:

Tuesday we will expand this to the television audience and have a dedicated email address to accept leads, tips, contacts, on Beck, his radio producer Burguiere, and the chief of his tv enablers, Ailes...

Keith Olbermann has put a bounty on Glenn Beck. Van Jones has quit his White House position and Edward R Olbermann will not let the unacceptable treatment of this 9/11 truther go unavenged! He wants all the investigative journalists who post at his blog, the Daily Kos, to send him any Glenn Beck dirt they can dig up, postulate, or concoct. So it's up to you, the loyal, patriotic readers of OlbyWatch, to pitch in and help Krazy Keith in his deranged jihad. Post your dastardly Glenn Beck information here. Since Olby reads this site, and gets his "news stories" from blogs anyhow, you know your scoops will be read by the infamous deplorable one. Comments are open!
