Wow, he is tearing Liz Cheney apart for criticising Obama's visit to Dover - and he opened his rant by pointing out that he had a cousin who was killed in combat. He means business; he's pretty clearly disgusted with Liz, and he's out for blood.

I think O'Donnell should get the morning show on MSNBC - he could replace Mika and Joe, since he pretty clearly has a higher IQ than the two of them put together.

1. I loved his description of Lizard Cheney
"The talkative daughter of a cowardly draft dodger." :thumbsup:

4. I know! It's similar to the way he describes Palin as
"unemployed Alaska blogger Sarah Palin"

8. That pic has to be 40 years old??
I remember her as the blind love-interest of Jim Rockford (Rockford files) in the 1970s.

6. In addition to out-IQing Joey Scar---
I'm not aware that Lawrence has had any young women turn up dead in his office.

I guess some would call that a cheap shot---I mean, he WAS a REPUBLICAN Congressman at the time. It's not like he was that baby-raping Democratic Congressman Gary Condit who was on the nightly news for MONTHS when one of his aides went missing.

7. Has anyone else noticed Lawrence O'Donnell runs hot and cold
Sometimes he is excellent. On top of his game. Other times he seems bored which tends to bore me.

All in all I like him a lot. But the consistency isn't there. We all have our good and bad days I guess?

Maybe the reason this is so noticeable to me is because when he is really on his game he is on fire?

9. He rightly ripped Liz Cheney a gigantic new ass hole
He's getting better and better at this - maybe he will get his own show at some point.

10. I think that they tried him on his own spot once
They may have decided he was too much of a loose cannon. He is one of those extreme secular humanists. He had someone on his show from a university who did research on psychics. He proceeded to try ripping him up but he had not even read the research. Apparently the result was bad. The university professor complained A LOT but did not sue. I think that was the end of LDs tryout. He blew it. I don't know if he learned from the incident or not.

11. I can't find a link yet. If anybody finds one please post. I love Lawrence O'Donnell.
He is at his best when he's ripping a foaming rightwinger a new one. :)

16. Dunno, but remember it took a while for Rachel's show,
after she'd appeared with KO so often that we all knew how good she was.

17. I think he's great.
As far as I'm concerned he could have anyone's spot except Ed, Keith or Rachael's.

24. He's one of my least favorite liberal hosts. I'm not gonna be too harsh b/c I'd rather have him than
have any conservative but he is basically an anger-prone loud mouth. NO ONE COMPARES TO THOM HARTMANN!
