Lawerence O'Donnell Special Comment = FAIL
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 07:23 PM by Ruby the Liberal
He doesn't have the passion for it. Too over-enunciated and scripted.

Edit: spelling. Oven = over

1. His sincerity and anger are clearly evident -

I've seen him talk about how few of us serve and how cowardly he and others are who haven't served - he isn't pandering. I like him.

2. I wouldn't say FAIL. He doesn't have Olbermann's panache, but
he is administering a pretty good butt-kicking to the disgusting Ms. Cheney.

4. It's not a special comment. It's a regular segment. He's just pissed about her.

8. It was delivered in cross-camera SC style.
I am glad that he is back to talking about it with Richard. This was not a good format for his comments at all. Important message, flat delivery.

9. I'm listening, not watching
He sounded angry to me. He's not as dramatic as Keith. No big deal. I didn't realize it was a "Special Comment."

10. I defined it as that due to the cross-camera style and direct address.

12. Mr. O'Donnell is Mr. O'Donnell ...
Your critique of his personal style detracts not one iota, not one jot, not one tittle, from the excellence of his commentary ...

This thread goes in the trash, not the comments or style of a perfectly capable Lawrence O'Donnell ....

16. If you're going to call him a "FAIL" at least spell his name correctly--Lawrence.
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 11:15 PM by Mrs. Overall
I love Lawrence O'Donnell--he has his own style.

On Edit: forgot to say that I unrec'd.

Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 11:32 PM by GreenTea
to expect on health care Public Option and what the fucking republicans and insurance companies next bullshit tactics will be....Lawrence O'Donnell has been there, dealing directly with the lying slime known as the republicans and O'Donnell is always on the money....Yes, I feel O'Donnell and David Shuster should both have their own shows...but who do we knock off...How 'bout Andrea Mitchell & republican asshole Joe Scarbough?

19. I think you're being unfair
way too harsh. He has his own style. He's not exactly like K.O. ... do you want a KO clone, or?
