Defending John Edwards Vs *Awful* Lawrence O'Donnel Article
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-smiley/shut-up-larry_b_81091.html

When I read Lawrence O'Donnell's post calling John Edwards a "loser" and threatening a lifetime of infamy if he doesn't get out of the race, I immediately went to O'Donnell's bio to see his party affiliation. I was sure it would say "R" -- but it didn't. It didn't say anything.

However, I am fairly sure in my own mind that Karl Rove paid him to write that post. Look at it this way: O'Donnell attacks the only candidate in the race with explicitly progressive policy positions, and the only candidate in the race who hasn't accepted corporate money, and the only candidate in the race who understands how corporations are poisoning American politics and American life with their unrestrained power and influence...(For the rest, please click the link at the top)

2. And to think he used to be a regular on AAR's Al Franken show.

4. He sounds just like any one of hundreds of DUers--
--a formerly rational left-of-center American who has morphed into an intemperate radical.

7. That's what makes it so bad
if it was someone from the Washington Times or Fox News (etc.) I could brush it off. But wh O'Donnel?

8. Maybe O'Donnell's noticing that there's always a bump for the candidate who's attacked in the media
Or maybe he's just a dick.
