Lawrence O'Donnell on Capital Report

ChicagoRighty

[ChicagoRighty]

Did anyone else witness the tirade on poor red states and rich blue states by Lawrence O'Donnell?

[ChicagoRighty]

O'Donnell was absolutely out of his head. Quite like the 'liar, liar' rant with John O'Neil on Scarborough.

Hinderocker from powerline was refuting him, but O'Donnell was literally embarrasing. The DIMs have come unhinged.

[xrp]

No, you?

[pgkdan]

I saw him last week on McLaughlin. I seriously believe that he's in the middle of a nervous break down.

[ChicagoRighty]

Yes, it was a continuation of that rant. He is now spouting numbers and saying how poor Alabama, Montana, the Dakotas are and forever will be. He is screaming about how the red states don't get it.

I'm afraid this blue state doesn't get it... at least some of the main counties.

[Neville72]

He's unhinged. A lunatic in need of serious psychiatric help or maybe a shotgun would do.

[Paleo Conservative]

Did he forget to take his meds?

[ChicagoRighty]

He seems more determined than ever. There is no remorse in this guy's tone, face, demeanor. His eyes were popping out.

[gop_gene]

I remember O'Donnell being an "okay" liberal a while ago, he seemed reasonable and cool-headed enough to me. But I noticed that as the election came closer, something happened to him--he became so overtly partisan to the point of losing all sanity and manners. It was creepy and unnerving.

[ChicagoRighty]

Yes, same here. Now you can count on him getting the other guests to sort of shake their heads at what he is saying. More and more radical. More and more off the deep end.

[Bush gal in LA]

No ,didnt catch it. I think the guys lost it though. Im in LA . What channel was it on? CNN?

[SandRat]

Who cares? LOD has been off his meds for so long he can't do anything but rage and slander in a libelous manner. Let him keep talking he's the best GOP campaign add there is for '08. By then he'll have angered so many folks that Muskies win will look huge by comparison.

[ChicagoRighty]

CNBC's Captial Report. I don't know if they replay it.

[stevefromcalifornia]

I saw him pop a neck vein on McLauglin Group last week, shouting that the blue states should secede. I think maybe he hasn't had all his shots.

[what's up]

I remember seeing him shortly before the Swiftees story came out. A question was fed him about Vietnam and he acted real weird. I think he felt that an anti-Vietnam story was about to come out and he self-righteously believed that he would be a hero in the fight.

Loser.

[digger48]

And this guy writes for The West Wing.....kinda makes it all fall into place, now, doesn't it?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

[ChicagoRighty]

Point taken... it just made me want to go through the set and strangle him.

[SandRat]

Who cares? LOD has been off his meds for so long he can't do anything but rage and slander in a libelous manner. Let him keep talking he's the best GOP campaign add there is for '08. By then he'll have angered so many folks that Muskies losing vote count-losing vote count will look huge by comparison.

[what's up]

Rather than just reporting on it, I think he's trying to start a secession move.

[Txsleuth]

I know here in Texas, it is on a 6:00 and 9:00 so I would imagine it replays everywhere.

[JesseJane]

I just saw him too. It is the unmasked face of the Democrat party. Pure HATRED for everyone they disagree with. They are not merely satisfied with ranting now, but the days of a balanced discussion is over. The talking is over, the voting is over, they must be defeated on whatever battlefields they choose. They must be crushed.

[dmanLA]

I haven't seen him on Scarborough Country since his last tirade.

On the verge of being fired, Lawrence?

[Chinito]

What? This nice man? /s

Sorry - couldn't find a photo with his big fat mouth open.

[My2Cents]

On the verge of being fired, Lawrence?

If only CNBC/MSNBC had such integrity....

[DoctorMichael]

Damn! I missed it!

It would have been good to see his explode...........again.

I was too busy watching Krris Math-hughs complain about how rude and unprofessional the Bush Administration is for sending a low level State Dept. Undersecretary to Errorfat's funeral and that someone like Errorfat deserved much better treatment.

From Power line blog:

Rocket Man is scheduled to appear on CNBC's Capital Report this evening at 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. (Eastern), 6:00 and and 9:00 p.m. (Central). At last word he was to appear with Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss -- what else? -- the possible secession of the blue states. You wouldn't want to miss it, would you?

[ChicagoRighty]

Yes, Hinderocker was great... he just ended up being amazed at waht O'Donnell was finally spewing.

[Loyal Buckeye]

"Did he forget to take his meds?"

Actually, he is showing signs of taking unpresribed "meds".

[sausageseller]

Go check powerline. He said he wasn't on his game tonight.

[rmgatto]

O'Donnell is the only democrat talking head who makes Bob Beckel look civilized.

[Let's Roll]

Apparently Lawrence doesn't know how well the red states rank on the Generosity Index and what a poor showing those superior blue states make.

First they rank the states by how much they have and then they compare that to how much they give to determine how generous they are. Link below.

Chrissy Matthews ACTUALLY said that Arafat had a "Papal Look"...a serenity look about him!!!!!!! Chrissy's Lefty one is showing.

[Neville72]

The past week has been a great study in what happens to some grops of people when their entire world view is shattered. Some merely mope and are depressed, some like O'Donnell become so unglued and angry that they come up with ideas that are so utterly ridiculous as to be comical.

Well, I for one have had a great time watching the Rats implode over the last week and really hope it doesn't end too soon.

[HalleysFifth]

John O'Neill, Vietnam combat veteran, author of Unfit for Command, American hero.

Creepy Liar

[OwnershipSociety]

O'Donnel and Olberman at MSNBC are closet gays who are personally offended that they can't marry their lovers because of the Republicans.

[Humidston]

Maybe someone should start taking bets as to when he ultimately self-destructs!

[Azzurri]

Wow, that link is incredible. Top 25 most generous states voted for Bush.

[Humidston]

>>Sorry - couldn't find a photo with his big fat mouth open.<<

But I do think I see his nostrils are pinkish. Maybe overworked??

*nudge nudge*

[ChicagoRighty]

>>Maybe someone should start taking bets as to when he ultimately self-destructs!<<


He blowed up! He blowed up, real good.

[F16Fighter]

Does Nurse Ratchet know O'Donnell's escaped the asylum?

[ChicagoRighty]

>>O'Donnell is the only democrat talking head who makes Bob Beckel look civilized.<<

Beckel is just as hateful (maybe more-so) but with less protruding veins.

[Humidston]

Well I'm sure going to be watching later tonight. Nothin' I love better than seeing a lib blowed up good!! ;-D

[xkaydet65]

As I watch O'Donnel I keep thinking what his old boss would say were he still alive. Pat Moynihan was a Democrat in the days when Democrats were still patriots( I speak of leadership here, not the union guys working the line in the Chevy plant in KC). Pat Moynihan worked with Richard Nixon. Refuted McGovern when he campaigned on a 33% defense cut in 72. Pat Moynihan would drink with and to his political rivals. He had principles from which he would not retreat, and patriotism was one of these. I cannot believe he would feel anything but disgust at his former aide's contemptible rantings.

"I remember O'Donnell being an "okay" liberal a while ago"


---I use to think he was okay too. In 2000, he was very fair and balanced but lately he has gone way over the edge. I'm wondering if he isn't on drugs

[mrpipesmkr]

Now, you guys be nice to Lawrence. He must have had A hysterectomy not long ago and has obviously forgotten to take his hormones.

[ChicagoRighty]

>>"I remember O'Donnell being an "okay" liberal a while ago"<<

I remember that... in retrospect, he seemed to just be 'auditioning'.... now he is really being hateful. He seems 'fed up'.

[Temple Owl]

He's unhinged. A lunatic in need of serious psychiatric help or maybe a shotgun would do.

Just another left-wing liberal. He'll be all right after his mommy hugs him.

[MamaLucci]

Good find, send it on to clueless O'Donnell.

[fat city]

Aw, don't believe it. In a vast sea of talking heads, O'Donnell finally came up with a schtick to make him memorable to viewers.

[ChicagoRighty]

The show is on again in an hour. He was n at the end of the show.
