Crazy Larry Tongue-Lashes Trumka

Perhaps it was just a publicity stunt for his impending MSNBC show, but Lawrence O'Donnell went Crazy Larry on Morning Joe today. The lefty host of The Last Word went off on an unlikely target: AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka.

What ignited Larry's tirade was Trumka's professed concern for the contract-negotiations plight of professional football players. O'Donnell was outraged that the union honcho was spending his time on the millionaires of the NFL rather than workers such as miners who merit more concern. Sample lines: "Exactly how many minutes of your day do you spend worrying about $15 million football players? Is this the biggest waste of your attention that could possibly come your way? Is it embarrassing for you to have to talk about these guys?"

Sit back and enjoy Larry going off.

What will he say about Castro admitting Socialism is a failure. The Morning Joe crew got all choked up about it and got a dazed look on their faces.

Trumka looks as if he’s been representing Little Debbie...

Trumka is gonna have Crazy Larry's legs broken after that. He is truly a nut case - did you notice how the hosts were clearly uncomfortable with the tirade - Mika with her arms crossed - the guy to Crazy's right grabbing his arm and Faux Joe apologizing for him?

Buncha idiots on that show - I give you credit GLGB and have admired your work in the past 5 years - Happy Anniversary!
