Did I just see what I saw on Lawrence O'D?

[pnwest]

Did I just stroke out, or did I really just see that? Anyone else just catch Lawrence O'Donnells last two minutes? That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! No exaggeration! Ever!!

[bravenak]

1. Yep.

Still can't figure it out. We're they acting? Was it real? Hmmm.

[madaboutharry]

2. What did some of us miss?

[pnwest]

4. He invited him on, Weiner seemed relaxed, and

Lawrence's first question was "What is wrong with you?". Weiner was confused, and said something like, what do you mean? Are you talking about my personal life incident? And Lawrence asked him, no I mean what is wrong with you? Why can you not live without being in public office? And then just lit into him for 5 minutes. Talked over him, berated him... It was horribly uncomfortable, cringeworthy...and you could plainly see Weiner was completely caught off guard, totally ambushed. It was really strange, unprofessional, even kinda mean. Wieners a douche, but Lawrence was WAYYYYY over the line.

7. Sounds like he did what someone should have done long ago

The fact that Wiener was "confused" shows just how fucking out of touch he is.

I applaud someone dropping all pretext have having to be polite to fucking idiots.

13. I don't watch Lawrence anymore because of his GIANT EGO...

He seems far too pleased with himself when he does stuff like this.

[Myrina]

18. Agreed 150%

n/t

3. I've seen Lawrence do that type of interupting/hollering to some other person before...

... but I can't remember at the moment who it was.

6. Video of O'donnell vs. Orly Taitz (he hollered and cut off her camera) - below

p.s. This isn't the one I mentioned above, but it's a good one to watch

10. He used repig tactics

talking over a guest, insisting a question be answered. In this case, I applaud it, but wish this style of "interview" had never been invented by the repigs.

Turnabout is fair play.

8. It was weird because I thought Weiner was supposed to be doing a question/answer session with viewer

What the fuck just happened with Larry? And Weiner was really weird. He's a nutcase.

On a much more positive note, I was 100% impressed with de Blasio on Chris Hayes. I just wish I lived in NYC.

[PADemD]

9. I turned it off.

Lawrence wasn't trying to interview him; he was trying to provoke an angry outburst by Anthony Weiner.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I saw it and I have to say that I cringed.

[SunSeeker]

12. Lawrence raised those same questions about Weiner weeks ago. Weiner shoulda know it was coming.

If you've been watching Lawrence, and I have because I do like him, he has been pretty disgusted with Weiner, and has been making comments like that for some time now, particularly the one about why the heck Weiner insists on running for public office. Weiner is a dumbass for going on the show thinking he'd get off with a few softballs.

O'Donnell gets pretty intense with bullshitters. And I am really fine with that.

[Sunlei]

14. no, I hate MSNBC opinion tabloid junk.

[ksoze]

15. Used to like him, now find him painful to watch

He is a caricature of what righties think of us - loud, obnoxious and extremely left and tone deaf.

[KinMd]

16. Moot point now but.. What IS wrong with Weiner?

[pnwest]

17. LOL, yeah, that finger thing last night

woulda been funny if it wasn't so sad..... just sad.
