I'm beginning to think that Lawrence O'donnell just might have the best show on msnbc-
okay - maybe not as good as Rachel - but - wow -

he's getting all the wackos on and calmly explaining why they are a wacko :P Marsha Blackburn tonite.
Kendra Meeks from Fla on in a minute.
Joe Klein on now who is actually going out on the streets to talk to the voters.


Anyone else out there loving them some Lawrence?

1. I've been without cable so long
I didn't even know he had his own show.

2. You're probably better off in the long run - not much actual news being reported anymore.
It's all Palin, McDonnell the witch and Hillary will be VP all day :crazy:

3. It's pretty much inevitable that the R's will stop coming on the show soon.
He destroys them every time. VERY efficiently.

6. You have a point there - he'll probably be showing up in fundraising ads for the repugs soon.
But - it's just soooo amazing how calm he is when he goes in for the kill.

4. While watching Kline, he mentioned some of the
things people believe that are crazy or contradictry...I wonder if he bothered to set them straight? When these reporters and pundits have the chance to set people straight they seldom do...If they don't I consider that perpetuating the misinformation.

5. He's been asking tough questions the past 2 days
He's really starting to get some traction - I hope he keeps it up.

10. Thanks for the endorsement
I'll have to watch, even though I've pretty much sworn off cable noise.

11. I like him a lot, but am annoyed he played the Hillary/VP card.
Am happy that Bernstein did a good job knocking it down.

The show is VERY good.

12. Ya - that kinda pissed me off - aargh! Especially after Bernstein went on
about how that's not gonna happen and even said that Biden was a wonderful VP.

Now I wish I could un'rec my own thread :)

13. I sincerely hope his show (and Ed's) will become
available for download, ala Keith and Rachel's.

As good as MSNBC has become, I just won't be getting cable anytime soon.

18. That apology was so well done
I was somewhat emotional as it is so unusual for any TV personality to devote so much time and energy to an apology. And even though Steele is an idiot, he was surprisingly gracious in his request for an apology.

15. Yes this is a good show
I 'missed" the meek interview since I was trying to use SKYPE to talk to my mother, but good nonetheless.

22. I like it . He's very thoughtful.
I was impressed with his apology to Michael Steele as a matter of simple human decency.

Keith, Rachel and Lawrence are a very good lineup.

Rachel is still begging the Republicans to come on her show and talk to her, since they use her as a scare tactic in their ads.

Oh and on a totally frivolous note, he is a very nice looking man, just as Keith is. The lights are definitely on, which is what makes someone attractive.

:loveya:

24. Love the show so far. He's very measured in his statements and keeps very cool
in his presentations of facts that destroy the pugs. Great Meek interview, and the apology to Steele was as classy as I think I've ever seen from a cable show host.

Looking forward to more...
