Once again the Olbermann Watch Research Division poured through the MSNBC online transcripts to see how much attention was paid to key stories and issues over the past week. Here is what our keyword searches found:

Notes: References to Iraq do not include Olbermann's ritual closing mantra.
Congratulations Sarah Palin! You are again the runaway winner--by far the most important story on OlbyPlanet. Who cares about unemployment, or Afghanistan, or Nidal Hasan, or that boring old economy? You can add them all up and Sarah Palin is still ten times more important to Edward R Olbermann! Get ready to recap tonight's Hour of Spin. And Tuesday's too! Comments are open!
Something tells me Sarah Palin will win this week too. He can milk the SNL parody for all it's worth and then some.
Maybe, (and we can only hope) Opey will cross the line with some stupid comment about 17 year old Jackie who took out Washington DC Correspondent Bimbo O'Donnell.

Note: the translator was played by Abby Elliott, the daughter of Chris Elliott, the granddaughter of Bob Elliott. Bob was one half of Bob & Ray, where according to Olby, is where the "Worst Person in the World" shtick originated.
Bill O'Reilly tore apart one of the defense lawyers for the 9/11 trial. Ripped. To. Shreds.
WPITW
Beck, Beck and Limbaugh, Some Tea Party person.
First Beck attack was about how Beck is writing another book getting a news story while OlbyCare isn't getting any press coverage.
Beck and Limbaugh got it for calling Mary Landau a 'whore' and how bad that was. Never mind a few months ago, the deplorable one called Michelle Malkin a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick". And Keithy, Landau is a WHORE! A $100 million whore.
And some tea party attack (called all tea party-ers fringe) and turns it around about a baby dying without HCR. Keith, after we get Obama ONECARE, babies are still going to die. Get over it and get over yourself.
ANOTHER AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN!
Puck, you are a genius. #1 is the palin parody as serious. Keith and Wolff-man are having a circle jerk.
Wow Keith has gotten even fatter! The interview with Sheldon Whitehouse showed Keith in 3/4 rear profile talking to a monitor. Yikes. What on earth is with the huge shoulder pads, Keith? Is there an illusion created where you aren't just tubby, but hugely shouldered? Clue: It ain't working.
Rush Limbaugh is absolutely fit in comparison.
Has anyone begun to notice that Nancy Grace is starting to beat 'Countdown' in the ratings on a regular basis.
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_friday_nov_20_144023.asp
Even when Tubby beats her, it ain't by much. But in the past week She beat him in the Demo 4 out of 5 days.
And boy, I hate it when I have to agree with the rotund one but Olby is right. And Beck & Limbaugh are wrong.
A Prostitute does it for money.
A Whore does it very cheap or for free.
Check out someone like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Look at all the different positions for little or nothing, she's taken since getting Hillary's seat. Now that's a whore!
I'd like to my agreement with Keith back. I just gave a listen to the second hour of Glenn's radio show.
Glenn said 'Prostitute'.
Figures S**thead can't get things straight.
So Cankles thinks calling Michele Malkin a vile name is the same as Beck and Limbaugh calling Sen. Landrieu a "prostitute'? The problem with that statement is that Sen. Landrieu IS a prostitute. What else would you call a woman who sold herself for $300 million to cast a "yes" vote. Pure and simple...this is Chicago style politics.
Did you notice Olby never said one word about the "deal" with Landrieu but only brought up the words used by Beck and Limbaugh. Gee, Mr. Olbermann why did they use that word? Why did they call her a prostitute? If your only source of information is the MELTDOWN show you would have no idea what he is talking about. That's a real nice piece of journalism...you know, journalism...where you give your audience the full and complete story. But according to Olby's journalism, there was no "deal" just Conservatives calling a Senator a name. Way to keep your audience informed with the facts, Keith.
I also liked the bronze WPITW where Olby was basically whining because Beck gets more press. Hey Keith, I will let you in on a secret 99.9% of the population already knows...NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.
Priceless!!! Keith telling other media outlets how to do their jobs when his show is a complete failure. It's like a drunk at a bar telling you you've had too much to drink.
Tonight's show was just pathetic. Esp the health care video, which I think was staged to a point. I mean that one lady who said she can't afford health insurance cause she works at Home Depot. Oh please...I worked part time at Sears department store and I got health and dental. I didn't have to pay extra for it or anything.
Yes, KO looks like a bloated whale, period!
The WPITW was nothing but full of Keith being an idiot, whinning because Beck got attention this weekend and his alleged Health Care rally in the back burner was a joke. He seemed to have blown a fuse on it.
Then him and the Wolff man talking about the SNL clip, trying to do a spin on it saying it's really poking at her rather than the DNC, which it what it really is. Those two idiots just don't see it that way.
Memo to Keith? are you fired yet?
Keith held a rally... nobody came
But there's always Glen Beck to blame
Lou Dobbs, Rush, and Bill
Impressions until
Forced retirement due to shame
I read the story about Olbermann's hurt feelings at Newsbusters. Can anyone tell if this free clinic thing was a success? It just sounds like if it were a raging success he would have bragged about it rather than point the attention elsewhere.
Here is that NewsBusters story. Also, there's this from Chickaboomer.
There was more whining in naming Beck and Limbaugh (and Gretchen Carlson) Worser. "The next time I say something about Michelle Malkin being a bag of mashed up meat with lip stick on it and I'm called sexist by conservatives because I use the word lipstick, even though every week on the football show I use the exact same phrase about men, only I don't say lipstick, and lipstick was the one word punchline to a joke by Sarah Palin, just remember, Beck and Limbaugh happily called a sitting US woman senator a, quote, prostitute, and not a single conservative woman has as much as disagreed with them. Ms. Carlson, where is your umbrage now, you fraud?"
And then, there was Worst: "But our winner, Katherina Roiterich (ph) of Mt. Greenwood in Chicago, organizer of what is described as a tea party splinter group, as if they all weren't splinter groups, Chicago Tea Party Patriots. Nine days ago, a couple, Dan and Mitch Huff, spoke out in favor of health care reform at the town hall of Congressman Dan Lipinski. ... And her in-laws told this story as an example of the current health care system at its worst.
And the tea party slobs not only interrupted them and made fun of them and rolled their eyes, but this woman, Katherina Roiterich, sent out an e-mail calling the Huffs Obama operatives who had fabricated the story of the deaths and, quote, 'go from event to event and cry the same story.'
After a local newspaper reporter verified the Huff's account, Ms. Roiterich defended herself by saying the protesters were frustrated by all these isolated tragedies that get in the way of discussion of the bill. Ma'am, that's what health care is. It's a series of isolated tragedies. Isolated until they happen to you, or until you, Ms. Roiterich, become a human being again, rather than a manipulated tool of big business and fear mongering and shapeless, hopeless greed and selfishness. Because if any of the world's major religions are right, ma'am, you and for what you and the other people did to the Huffs, you're going to hell. Katherina Roiterich of Chicago Tea Party Patriots, today's worst person in the world."
Let's go back to what Syvyn11 said. "Keith, after we get Obama ONECARE, babies are still going to die. Get over it and get over yourself."
We know it wasn't just "conservatives" that were offended by your Malkin slur. Feminists and some of your own fans were equally offended, if not just disappointed. But what should we expect from the infamous, deplorable Keith Bullymann?
"'To reporters from Time magazine, the Politico, The New York Times and everybody else in the mainstream treating this seriously: What are you doing?' Olbermann said. 'We had another free health care clinic on Saturday. More than a thousand in Little Rock participated, paid for fully by this show.'"

An obvious question to the self-declared smartest guy on cable....Why was Beck WPitW and not the reporters ignoring you?
Hmm, I think poor, deluded Olbermann thinks much too highly of himself.....The influence he has on the political and media landscape is only large in his perception....The facts speak volumes of his true importance.
Oh well....like our President, Olbermann's perception of his own brilliance, success and importance for the future of mankind is far more influential to his behavior than reality.
VERO POSSUMUS, indeed. Wee weed?
Keithy is the jerk.
Poster from his movie:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2738/4131931788_e90b7bdf1a_b.jpg
Keithy is a sad little man!
Sorry, h8olby, but he's too thin in that movie poster.
Remember the Kentucky census worked found hanging from a tree with the word "fed" written on his chest? Well, he committed suicide and faked his own murder to collect on two life insurance policies.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,576647,00.html
Remember the left wing was so quick to jump to conclusions about the death? They blamed everyone from Beck to Limbaugh to Fox News.
http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/rusty-weiss/2009/11/06/shhh-census-worker-may-have-committed-suicide
Will there be any retractions? Apologies?
Nah, that would be the right thing to do.
Maddow especially gave breathless coverage for a number of shows, in the first spot...."FED" written across the chest was the dramatic key to the solution of this homicide....of course Beck, Bachmann and Limbaugh and their SPEECH were responsible!
Demogoguery is the coin of the realm at MSNBC, and Olbermann has been a pretty bad one with it, especially with the healthcare reform debate....But Maddow was the one on Sparkman's tragic death and I am betting the news of his suicide will not be the number one story on her show tonight.
Remember how the radical left stops debate....they use fear and intimidate....this example shines as one of their lowest points to date.
Obama's America....more divided than ever.....
VERO POSSUMUS, indeed. Wee weed?
The translator in the Obama China sketch was played by Nasim Pedrad
The Chinese president was Will Forte (Newsbusters said it was Bill Hader)
I apologize for the error, but what I said about Abby's lineage is valid.
Bronze: Carly Fiorina for the sin of knowing more than Olby about economics.
Silver: Bill-O! for saying he chased off Bill Moyers. Keithy? It's a fucking joke. Like what is in your pants.
GOLD! Beck x2, predicting economic collapse and then for calling Mary Landau a whore again (retread of last night's attack).
Landrieu.
Silver source: Think Propaganda, a post written by a poor, poor ambush victim that we should all feel sorry for: Amanda Turkel.
Likely gold source: Crooks und Liars.
Howie Fineman (#5A), Alan "You Didn't Make An Appointment" Grayson (#5B), the Wolffe Man (#4), and Olbermann's Brain (#1)--same hacks, different night. There was a Prejean Attack in Bests (blue blog source: Radar) and a guestless full-segment Palin Attack in #3. The bronze source was Think Propaganda. Does Podesta pay Olby anything for using his site's posts as sources?
To finish his O'Reilly Attack, David Olbermann paid an homage to his buddy Letterman by squealing "here, kitty kitty."
And he closed his Double Beck Attack with low-voiced anger in place of Abby's Grandpa & Ray-esque bombast.
Another thing: the aforementioned Grayson called a lobbyist a "K Street whore." 40 minutes after Grayson (who did apologize in print for the slur), Keith has the gall to criticize Beck, for the second night in a row, for calling Sen. Landrieu a whore. Personally, I think it's a bit harsh for anyone to throw the word whore around in this case. I'd say she sold out.
So, is keithy going on vacation after tonight?
He probably will take off, I heard Bush, whoops sorry, Obama is gong to send 34k troops to Afghan.
Good catch MikeC, but I listened to Beck's Monday show and he was saying Prostitute. I might be splitting hairs here, but the definition between the two are different.
She laid down for money. (A prostitute.)
Someone like Olby will bend over for nothing. (A Whore)
But it is delicious to see Olby have Alan (K Street Whore) Grayson on and then call Beck out for a word he didn't use. (at least by Monday's radio broadcast).
But, stupid is as Olby does.
And I only do this because Olby does think of himself as enlightened over the rest of us.
Times are not good at NBCU. Not only is FNC kicking MSNBC's butt.
It seems FOX Broadcast is creaming the other networks these days.

As Grace Slick once said, "It's a new dawn".
Sorry about the mistake, Puck. Even though I'm a Glenn Beck Insider (premium member at his website), I don't listen to every second of every show. I just went by what Syvyn11 wrote.
From NewsBusters: Olbermann [in #3]: 2012 Voters Better Understand Palin's Religious Beliefs.
Bests transcript:
"Dateline, New Jersey, number three, best self-delusion, Lou Dobbs is running for president. Talking to the esteemed journalist, Fred 'mail it in' Thompson, who asked, 'have you ever thought of perhaps running for president,' Dobbs replied, 'I'm talking—yes is the answer. And I'm going to be talking some more with some folks who want me to listen to them in the next few weeks. I do know this: I‘m going to have the best advice. I may make a terrible decision, but I‘m going to have great advice.'
Lou, at the end, you were having trouble getting more viewers than Jane Velez-Mitchell. How in the hell are you going to get enough votes to become president? Maybe president of Lou.
Dateline Baton Rouge, number two, best comeuppance, Senator David Vitter, Republican of Louisiana, veteran of the DC Madam prostitution scandal [Ding!]. the Louisiana Democratic party responded to the unconscionable use of the word prostitute to describe Senator Mary Landrieu, a word used by Beck and Limbaugh, has now called upon one of the state's leading politicians to denounce the remark about prostitutes, Senator Vitter. Senator Vitter has thus far been silent, but his expertise in the area of prostitutes would be most helpful in undoing some of the harm inflicted on his senatorial colleague.
And dateline St. Louis, number one, best celebrity romance news, Carrie Prejean, disgraced [Ding!] ex- [Ding!] Ms California, First Amendment misunderstander [Ding!], and producer of amateur auto porn [Ding!], is, according to radar.com, in love with backup St. Louis Rams quarterback Kyle Boller. Her brother confirms that they are dating. In her book Prejean writes in dedication to Kyle. To steal the post of commentator Carson from the sports site Dead Spin, 'Rams coaches say Boller has been watching a lot of film lately.'"
Worsts transcript:
"The bronze to the fired [Ding!] Hewlett Packard CEO, Carly Fiorina, who is now running for the Senate from California as a Republican. Ms. Fiorina on the bank bailout on Fox Noise [Ding!], October 14th, 2008, quote [Ding!], 'the bank bailout was, unfortunately, necessary, because credit is tight for hard working Americans and small businesses.'
Eight days later, she credited the bailout with unlocking credit. Now that the bailout has worked, she addressed a breakfast held by the conservative 'American Spectator,' and according to that publication, quote [Ding!], 'Fiorina said she was opposed to bailouts and President Obama's economic stimulus package.'
Ma'am, you're embarrassing yourself, and you explain again why Hewlett-Packard dumped you [Ding!].
The runner up, Bill-O [Ding!], really earning that epithet clown [Ding!] on this one. Bill Moyers has announced that at the age of 75, after 38 years in television news, he will be retiring from his weekly program on PBS. (Ted Baxter voice): 'No, I think we, Jesse Waters, drove him out of PBS. I think Jesse Waters is responsible for Bill Moyers leaving. Now, Bill Moyers is hammering Bush and Cheney. They wanted them impeached, this and that, and, you know, taking shots at the 'Factor.' So we sent Jesse out to talk with him.'"
Stop the transcript. That is a jest and a segue to video of a Moyers ambush. The next words out of O'Reilly's mouth were "Roll the tape." Then, Bill gave his real hypothesis as to why Moyers is leaving: the soft cupcake interview with Reverend Wright in April 2008. I don't know if that did it, but it certainly dropped his credibility, something Olbermoronn dropped long before that.
"In the ambush interview from O'Reilly's stalker producer [Ding!], Moyers mopped the floor [Ding!] with the kid [Ding!]. He invited Watters to come on the show because O'Reilly didn't have the courage to do so, he said. A year later, O'Reilly sent his other flunkie, Porter Berry, to try to side swipe Moyers, and no one has seen Berry since."
Wow. That's going to be a shock to Porter and other sane people like the rest of us.
"And these interviews from two and three years ago, that's what Bill-O [Ding!] thinks drove Moyers out of PBS. Bill also thinks he has his own police force [Ding!] and that he schedules the tides. Notice, O'Reilly never does these ambush interviews himself because, well—here kitty, kitty, kitty."
The insane pot, Krazy Keith, is calling the kettle black.
"But our winner, a two-fer from Lonesome Rhodes Beck [Ding!]. As a fairly recent survivor of an emergency appendectomy, I think I can say this—I don't think what they took out of him was his appendix. Predicting a collapse of the American economy, he advised, 'I like to the call the three G system for this; it's god, gold and guns. Now, personally, you might take God and put him as an umbrella over the whole thing. Then you‘ve got your gun and your gold down here, too.'
Once again, Beck's dirty little secret is that American society means as much to him as faith means to a televangelist. It's a scam [Ding!]. It's a cash cow. He's in it for the money [Ding!]. He keeps trying to sell people gold, largely because a disproportionate number of his advertisers sell people gold.
Here's a fact Beck never mentions: the gold sellers will buy gold back from you at about 60 or 70 percent of the going wholesale price they charge you. In other words, if you guy buy gold and the price doesn't go up 30 or 40 percent, you will never make your money back, let alone a profit.
Part two, Beck called Mary Landrieu a prostitute again, did it on the radio, using the word itself. Then on television, 'so we know you‘re hooking, but you're just not cheap.' At the end of the same attack, of verbal diarrhea [Ding!], Beck concluded, 'I guess shame is dead. Shame died.'
What would you know about shame? And where are the conservative feminists? A woman politician is called a prostitute and you're OK with that. It's OK if I call Sarah Palin that? The hell it is. Lonesome Rhodes Beck [Ding!], traveling gold salesman, today's worst person in the world."
