Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC: Cheney Speech ‘Sleazy,’ ‘An Abomination’

Immediately following a speech by former Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday, MSNBC assembled it’s usual panel of left-wing pundits to tear him down, including political analyst Lawrence O’Donnell, who proclaimed: "Well, he came today to -- obviously to do nothing much other than defend torture, which he calls 'tough questioning.' This was as sleazy a presentation by a vice president as we've had since Spiro Agnew. This was an absolute abomination."

Chris Matthews anchored the coverage and had just asked O’Donnell: "Lawrence, can he get away with this? Giving a speech that's -- well, it was 16 pages long -- and never mention the main foreign policy initiative of the administration just passed, which is the war in Iraq." After O’Donnell denounced Cheney’s sleaziness, he went on this diatribe:

After Obama and Cheney’s speeches, Chrissy Matthews was left with one leg tingly and the other one numb. He couldn’t walk all day.

O’Donnell is living proof that not all dumb blondes are female (at least officially).

These clowns didn't even hear Cheney's speech; they had their talking points all set to go.

MSNBC is a big fricking joke. I'm talking to my cable provider to have them blocked from my TV.

I think exorcised is the right word and you may need a priest.

Telling America the truth.

It seems to be a crime of sorts.

I think M Twain said it best,

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

I’m frankly a little tired of these people spouting DNC propaganda and calling it news. They are in the same league with any dictator’s propaganda organs. It’s time they stopped.

BUCHANAN: Lawrence's reaction tells you that Cheney's speech worked.

Every once in a while, Pat nails it.

GREAT speech by Cheney. He has been attacked by the Saviour...and has done the unthinkable: fight back! It left many of the leftist talking heads literally stunned.

On the downside, McCain is going on Greta tonight to completely confuse the issue.

I just took it off my remote . . . now I don’t accidentally bump into it.
