I've been taking note of Lawrence O'Donnell more and more over the last few weeks on both HARDBOILED and the SCARBOROUGH SHOW due to his increasingly strident remarks. He is billed as a "MSNBC Senior Political Analyst".
Wow! Is this a coy title!
Last nights display of rudeness was awful, but............he did stay "on-message": He used the word 'LIAR' at least a hundred times!
As far as Pat B. goes, I would have loved him to cut the clown's mike off but I honestly don't know if he could. Correct me if I'm wrong but Lawrence is another MSNBC employee and therefore Pat's 'colleague'. I think the host of a show can shut the mike off of a terrible GUEST but I wonder if there is a rule about cutting the mike off on a fellow employee?.....and one that has the title 'Senior Political Analyst' a to boot even though he's come, most obviously, completely unhinged.
And a great reason why we ALL need to go above Rick Kaplan to complain about this disgrace. I sent email to G.E. the owners of NBC and MSNBC, Joe and Kaplan.
O'Donnell is equivelant to Tony Snow's current role on FOX.
Pat couldn't cut his mic.
