The Olbermann Watch Research Division chuckles every time it hears someone on A-Mess-NBC attacking Fox for being a partisan operation, since we know there are more opposing views aired on any given hour of Hannity or The O'Reilly Factor than you will hear in a month of Edward R Olbermann. Having just finished one such month, here's the proof. We poured through the MSNBC online transcripts and tallied up the Hour of Spin guest list. Take a gander at the results:

Behind the numbers
Democratic and Republican politicians: these are office-holders invited on Countdown for tough, aggressive grillings. Actually, that was a joke. Since they are all Democrats, they are trademark Olbermann blue-dress interviews. These included Ron Wyden (4 times), Anthony Weiner (3), James Clyburn (3), Alan Grayson (2), and one each for Maria Cantwell, Sheldon Whitehouse, Charles Schumer, and Sherrod Brown. Strangely, not one Republican.
Democratic and Republican strategists: These are partisan "experts" who have toiled in the partisan vineyards to get candidates of their persuasion elected. The big winner here is Democratic strategist "Crazy" Larry O'Donnell: ten appearances, either as a guest or guest-host. Plus we find Chris Kofinis (4), Howard Dean (2), Joe Trippi (1), and Markos "Screw 'em" Moulitsas (1). And then there were the Republicans: zero.
Liberal / Progressive vs Conservative / Traditional: These guests are not officially identified with party activisim but they appeared on OlbyPlanet to promote a political viewpoint. People like Wendel Potter (from the Center for Media and Democracy--two appearances), Shannyn Moore of Huffpo (1), Eric Burns of Media Matters (1), and so forth. We included three appearances from the National Association of Free Clinics, since they were present not to promote a philanthropic effort, but rather to hold free clinic events "in five key cities, in five key states represented by Democratic senators who have not yet said they will oppose a Republican filibuster of the public option." Yes, A-Mess-NBC organizing, promoting, and sponsoring political events to oppose Republicans and promote Democratic legislation. Gee, that sounds a little bit like, what would you call it, acting as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party? In the interest of fairness, we didn't include the washed-up "comedians" and vulgar "entertainers" who also used their Countdown appearances to further Olby's partisan agenda. We have our limits, even if the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann does not.
Discuss, resolve, and then recap tonight's Hour of Spin. Comments are open!
Keith just called N-23, NJ and VA all for democrats.
In fact Kieth just called 2012 for our lord and master for life... BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA!
For the record, those "washed-up 'comedians' and vulgar 'entertainers'" included Richard Lewis and Susie Essman.
I'm sure if the coward MikeH would actually show up he'd say something about how the Republicans aren't worth talking to. But since he's a coward I expect nothing less than for him to stay hidden until Olbermann has another Special Comment watched by an alleged 2.5 million viewers.
Tonights WPITW:
the state of VA.
the NY-23,
the state of NJ (if corzine is to win then the alternate is the republican health plan)
It will be interesting because I do believe New York & Jersey polls close at 8pm, when the Olbs rolls in. He will probably get off the hook for the hour since last I looked Jersey was a dead heat & New York was slightly close (depending what poll you looked at today, one had Hoffman +17, another +4). So things might not get called.
VA is another story, so on Planet Countdown we will just pretend that VA doesn't excist for the night, and with Olby taking off Wed. night and if the Republicans pull off the 'hat-trick', well. We just might not see him the rest of the week. Let Crazy Larry do the mopping up.
Will the republicans get all three? Who knows? Then again nobody thought The NY Islanders would win 4 in a row all season either.
Thank you Mike C. for proving the point about 'washed up' and 'vulgar'!
This is addressed to that FatAss Olbermann, Go To Hell. Keith, you are one sorry Ass looser. Keith, you called someone a son of a bitch so I guess it's alright that we do the same to you thusly letting you know that your mother was a bitch. Sorry folks but the shoes on the other foot now. Keith, you are a poor excuse for a commentator that has his head so far up obama's ass, you have not seen daylight for last past year now. My Christmas wish is for Comcast to buy your network and can your Ass and throw you to the curb. I called you an asshole to your face back in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium when you worked out there and am calling you an asshole now for your one sided attacks on Your opposition. Listen here you jackclown, the conservatives spoke tonight and will continue to speak out against the havoc that your socialist emperor is creating on the American people and the world. Keith, were coming to get you so watch your back.
OMG! Worst person is absolutely rich!
The first three are Republican, no shocker there. But I guess somebody showed him the clip of Beck from his radio show talkin' smack on Roly Olby.
I only got far enough to hear Olby say Beck has jumped the shark and that Glenn has crappy ratings. After that, I fell on the floor.
Keith, if Glenn Beck has crappy ratings. Then what do we call yours, or Chrissy's?
Glenn Beck – 2,849,000 viewers (643,000) (1,264,000)
Countdown w/ K. Olbermann – 955,000 viewers (246,000) (513,000)
Hardball w/ Chris Matthews—528,000 viewers (117,000) (262,000)

Guys, I missed the 8pm viewing (NCIS), I thought Keith was hosting. But now on the 10pm showing, Crazy Larry is on. Did Keith finally flip his lid?
syvyn VA and NJ gubernatorial elections went to the GOP and they made a huge blunder calling the NYC mayor race for Bloomberg. Off to the bathtub.
The worst person clip is up

I watched it to the end, Keith told us all to go to hell.
I am like sooooooo hurt Keith, NOT!
NBC news is reporting that New Jersey has gone for the Republican. VA has already gone for The Republican.
If NY-23 is won by the Conservative. HAT TRICK!!!!
Forget seeing Olby the rest of? the week. It's bathtub time!!!!
WE go to hell Keith?
YOU FIRST, BITCH!!!
Would rather go to hell with Beck than to heaven with Olbermann!
But I don't think you'll be playing a harp in the afterlife, Keith-y poo!
