Jane Smiley: Shut Up, Larry

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.

1. O'Donnell is another pundit, an insider...

a member of the establishment.

Let the voters decide, not the pundits, that's mean you Larry! :thumbsdown:

2. I say "Shut up, Larry" also.

O'Donnell really screwed up with that article, and he is doing a disservice to my preferred candidate as well.
