Keith Olbermann‘s wrath against the right after last night’s election results was on vivid display tonight as he called out Republicans for their violence (through New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino), their sensitivity via House Minority Leader John Boehner, and their lack of clarity through MSNBC interviews with Reps. Marsha Blackburn and Eric Cantor.

Republican Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn assumed the challenge of facing the entire MSNBC election night team last night to celebrate the Republican victory and take a couple of hardball questions from Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. While the conversation got heated when Rep. Blackburn refused to define military spending as “discretionary,” she held her own on her promise to cut the federal budget.

We reported last week that a government panel issued controversial new breast cancer screening guidelines, and predicted that the very real concerns they present would be twisted to raise concerns about the House health care reform bill. Our prediction played out on Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, as GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz sparred about the new guidelines. Neither got it quite right, and George ran out of time.
