Larry is going for the juggler... FarPoint Mar 2012 #5
This guy? HarveyDarkey Mar 2012 #50
Thanks... FarPoint Mar 2012 #55
George might have been drinking....but then he doesn't drink.. HipChick Mar 2012 #2
He was saying George may have been drinking all those years ago when those incidences happened. dkf Mar 2012 #20
Inserting the suggestion that George was/is a drunk isn't really all that helpful for George. yardwork Mar 2012 #45
They were talking about the old charges and Oliver said Z might have drank at a younger age. dkf Mar 2012 #52
Just not a topic that I would have brought up if I were the defense team. yardwork Mar 2012 #54
He was trying to establish a changed man scenario to explain away old charges. dkf Mar 2012 #58
I watched it. Oliver brought up the drinking. Bad move. yardwork Mar 2012 #64
Why? Because people misinterpreted it to be the cause of the Martin shooting? dkf Mar 2012 #67
no...because Oliver is an obvious LIAR who who does not even know zimmerman noiretextatique Mar 2012 #76
Why is he a liar? I thought he was pretty careful to not go too far. dkf Mar 2012 #81
did you believe a WORD he said? noiretextatique Mar 2012 #84
The Oliver is probably going to be huckstering a "tell all" book in about a month. xtraxritical Mar 2012 #87
he should be ashamed to face a camera with his bs noiretextatique Mar 2012 #88
NOBODY suggested that Zimmerman was drunk during the shooting until Oliver brought it up! yardwork Mar 2012 #93
But that George may have been drunk when he approached Trayvon. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #49
No he was not referring to the Martin situation but the other stuff in the past. dkf Mar 2012 #53
This is beautiful. Ruby the Liberal Mar 2012 #3
At least Oliver didn't walk out on him like Cleita Mar 2012 #4
Charles Blow nailed it.... you don't really know George HipChick Mar 2012 #6
Oh, yeah, I'm not saying he's plausible. Cleita Mar 2012 #8
The other guy (Charles Blow) is beating up on him The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2012 #7
That dude was ON. Ruby the Liberal Mar 2012 #12
Charles Blow lost it. dkf Mar 2012 #83
What Happened To The Lighting ??? WillyT Mar 2012 #9
LOL sadbear Mar 2012 #10
Oh Crap... They Fixed It... But Made It Worse... WillyT Mar 2012 #13
LO - "this all comes down to your gut feeling" Ruby the Liberal Mar 2012 #11
Yeah, that "Trayvon would have shot George" was especially gross... Lucy Goosey Mar 2012 #36
Would have shot George with what - iced tea? yardwork Mar 2012 #48
Yeah, I was surprised neither O'Donnell nor Blow jumped on that one. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #57
Distancing: "To clarify 'friend', I am old enough to be an uncle" Ruby the Liberal Mar 2012 #14
Oliver described himself as a close uncle confidant. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #26
Oliver has very little to offer aint_no_life_nowhere Mar 2012 #15
I think without a doubt he is being paid. Or perhaps he sees this is an opportunity audition snagglepuss Mar 2012 #34
Bingo! Looking for a new gig. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #59
Oliver has put himself in the crosshair or the State prosecutor that is now on the case. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #35
This is why it is stupid to say that anyone is not a close friend because they havent talked to dkf Mar 2012 #56
no it is not irrelevant noiretextatique Mar 2012 #63
Self defense comes down to if you thought your life was in danger. dkf Mar 2012 #66
i agree...that's how they are trying to spin it noiretextatique Mar 2012 #68
Zimmerman says Martin initiated the physical contact. That is what the law focuses on. dkf Mar 2012 #73
his claims just do not add up noiretextatique Mar 2012 #74
Well that is why we need to analyze everything. dkf Mar 2012 #78
that's what i think noiretextatique Mar 2012 #80
his claims just do not add up noiretextatique Mar 2012 #75
Bummer it's not on mediaite doesn't have the clip. mucifer Mar 2012 #16

I have friends, especially at work Duer 157099 Mar 2012 #21
He tolerated it only because Lawrence gave him a little oxygen... FarPoint Mar 2012 #40
Oliver claimed to have been a close uncle figure for Zimmerman. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #41
I only thought he held his ground Duer 157099 Mar 2012 #60
My "gut instinct" is that a lot of money has changed hands. A Brand New World Mar 2012 #22
I'd like to know who's paying him. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2012 #23
That was good! butterfly77 Mar 2012 #24
George Zimmerman is the son of a retired judge, which might explain the elder reporter stepping in. LaydeeBug Mar 2012 #25
And maybe Dad is paying Oliver to do the PR, The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2012 #28
I'd bet big bucks on that. If I had big bucks, that is. No way he quits his job otherwise. lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #62
Outstanding. H2O Man Mar 2012 #27
+1 ellisonz Mar 2012 #42
I'm thinking that Joe Oliver might have some type of mental problem. Tx4obama Mar 2012 #29
If he's getting paid enough, it wouldn't be a crazy thing to do. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2012 #32
Hmmm.... I wonder why he is no longer at CNN. Tx4obama Mar 2012 #46
he has to be getting paid, but whoever is paying him is not getting much value noiretextatique Mar 2012 #82
Exactly.. butterfly77 Mar 2012 #37
Tweety doesn't have the sharp mind that O'Donnell has. bluestate10 Mar 2012 #47

Joe Oliver had another misstep. He admitted that he had spoken to Zimmerman pacalo Mar 2012 #51
Anybody know what this employer mystery is? Oliver and Zimmerman worked together? yardwork Mar 2012 #65
And he said that Lawrence had "revealed" that he and Zimmerman had worked together. I thought that lib_wit_it Mar 2012 #85
And then Oliver finally acknowledged that yes, they did work together.Where? yardwork Mar 2012 #91
"If you have proof of that..." - Oliver KeepItReal Mar 2012 #86
It was bizarre. yardwork Mar 2012 #92
Why was Oliver so evasive about working with Zimmerman? aint_no_life_nowhere Mar 2012 #69
because he is an obvious liar? noiretextatique Mar 2012 #79
