Angry Olbermann: "Let's Wrap Him Up, All Right?"
Ace of Spades HQ —
Angry Olbermann: "Let's Wrap Him Up, All Right?" Olbermann tried to ban Mike Murphy, former McCain adviser turned MSNBC analyst, from being on any of MSNBC's coverage. He was successful for two nights in keeping his Democratic advocacy show pristine of any dissenting opinions. Tonight -- with the situation growing embarrassing for MSNBC -- they finally put him on.

Amid reports that MSNBC’s politically-driven Convention coverage is ready to implode, GOP strategist Mike Murphy belatedly appeared as a guest commentator but had to parry snide comments like these by Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews:
