LO’D was feeding Herman Cain hardballs, and Mr. Cain hit them out of the park.
I’m telling you I have not seen such a bravura performance by any politician since the days when Sam Donaldson was ABC white house correspondent during the Reagan years.
Sam would try to trip up the Gipper at every opportunity. At presser sure. But often on the sidelines when RR would get on Air Force 1. And Mr. Reagan would answer same in a very polite way, and often with humor rip Sam a new one.
I could not help getting the feeling that Lawrence O’Donnell was trying out for the role of being Sam Donaldson to President Cain.
” Sam would try to trip up the Gipper at every opportunity. At presser sure. But often on the sidelines when RR would get on Air Force 1. And Mr. Reagan would answer same in a very polite way, and often with humor rip Sam a new one.”
At Reagans birthday party, someone gave Sam Donaldson the first piece....
Sam: “ I really shouldn’t take the first piece.....some might think I sold out “
Reagan : “ Aw come on, Sam....you sold out for a lot less than that years ago “
