On MSNBC’s The Last Word, Lawrence O’Donnell took Rick Santorum-supporter and chief Super PAC contributor Foster Friess to task over his controversial birth control comments. <SNIP>

1. Oh well, Santorum is not responsible for Foster's bad "joke". So he threw him under the bus.

2. The really sad part is that it is obvious

that MSNBC hosts obviously don't communicate with each other at all about the segments they're hosting on a given night. This was painfully clear last night. O'Donnell let Freiss get away with saying (about 3 times, if memory serves) that Santorum is not "against contraception". The rub - 15 minutes before, Rachel had covered the same topic, showing video clips of Santorum stating that he was against all contraception. Just think what a thing of beauty it would have been if Lawrence had been able to ask Freiss to explain the video clips Rachel had showed only a few minutes before. But he didn't- so Friess was able to get away with his "Oh shucks, don't mind me, I'm just a doddling old kindly Grandfather" crap about Santorum's views on contraception.

3. No Catholic or anyone who does not want to use contraceptives is forced to use them

This makes their claim false. If you don't want to use them, you don't have to. What they want is the power to put it beyond the means of people who would want to use it.
