I’m thinking of two words right now that describe O’Donnell in that interview.
They both rhyme with “stick”.
Who is this man and why is he on tv?
Larry Odonnell is a kool~aide sucking pig
It is quite a bit cheaper to get Medigap coverage through compamies other then the one AARP flaks for on thier site and in their mailings.
LO is a hyper-partisan attack dog who does not hesitate to bend the truth to the breaking point in order to win the argument of the moment.
His integrity level is zero.
It's not integrity. He was simply repeating the latest Democrat talking point.
“Life is like eating a **** sandwich. The more bread you have, the less **** you have to eat.”
Here is ODonnell recently doing the same to Peter Schiff. In the first interview he won’t even let him talk. The second interview is with Joe Scarborough, and Schiff does get to talk, but ODonell comes in at the end and asks Schiff the same question he asked Abram, “Are your parents on Medicare?”

Decent Americans should avoid all contact with the SRM...you never know what you might catch.
“She should not have gone on there”
Nope! She should of gone on FOX and that’s it.
Barry’s attack dogs alway smell fresh blood.
beaversmom:
more detail if you’re interested at
The first couple of sentences from that report:
“The 2009 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports show the combined unfunded liability of these two programs has reached nearly $107 trillion in today’s dollars! That is about seven times the size of the U.S. economy and 10 times the size of the outstanding national debt.
The unfunded liability is the difference between the benefits that have been promised to current and future retirees and what will be collected in dedicated taxes and Medicare premiums. Last year alone, this debt rose by $5 trillion. If no other reform is enacted, this funding gap can only be closed in future years by substantial tax increases, large benefit cuts or both.”
That’s what happens when we put the equivalent of Lumpy and Eddie Haskell in charge of our legislatures!
McCaskill (sp?) pulled the same crap at the "town hall" (really lecture) held in MO. Every time the libs bring of this "Medicare" and "Social Security" strawman, we should throw it right back in their ugly faces. The report I saw today noted the trustees of those programs estimated $107 trillion in unfunded liabilities for those two programs. Do we want another $100 trillion+ unfunded liability, to carry their own analogy to it's logical conclusion? Use their own comparison against them. We've already got liabilities on the books that if you took all the money in the world from everyone you couldn't pay for. How can we even think about putting another one in place?
As far as "getting rid" of anything goes, we don't have to worry about that. Those programs are getting rid of themselves. A Ponzi scheme eventually self-liquidates. Either that or they will "get rid" of us (through bankruptcy and collapse).
WEll said.
Thank you. Can you tell that I don't respect him much? ;0)
He is so unprofessional, I cannot understand how he is still employed.
I suspect Glenn will discuss this on his tv show today.
It is quite a bit cheaper to get Medigap coverage through compamies other then the one AARP flaks for on thier site and in their mailings.I understand that, that's not the point. It's just as stupid for them to use Medicare is an good example of single payer as it is for the ghetto strutting president to compare "his plan" to the USPS.
You have to have a private insurer to pay for what Medicare won't...WTF, how is that single payer coverage?...A rhetorical question.
Thank you for that link. MY GOD, I knew things were going down, but Holy Cow! $107 trillion! We are in deep doo doo.
NB, my thoughts also, ‘Larry O’Donnell did not destroy this good and honest woman he only exposed himself for a liar and the bully’. I think this type of smug condescion for an obvious decent citizen will do more to solidify to many that the Media is not to be trusted.
