Staying classy, Lawrence O'Donnell - well known for melting down on television when a Vietnam vet spoke the truth about a Democrat, acting like an ass to a woman dying of cancer and professing his commitment for socialism from his perch of wealth while predicting a "red state secession" - now trots out his Anti-Mormon bigotry to attack Mitt Romney.
And, of course, this pimple has a permanent slot on MSNBC.
On the left, the more of a jerk you are, the more likely you are to get a network gig. See Sharpton, the Rev. Al.
More great moments in O'Donnell's spiteful ouvre.
John Nolte at Big Hollywood gives a thumbs up to Jennifer Gray for her grace in refusing to baited by Lawrence O'Donnell into insulting Bristole Palin.
As for O'Donnell, Nolte writes some classic snark:
As far as O’Donnell, in this interview (and in his life) he typifies the hateful cruelty we see becoming more and more mainstreamed on the left (mostly through MSNBC). Bristol isn’t Sarah and yet he absolutely refuses to do anything other than to degrade and insult her — he refuses to let loose even a single kind word for a young woman who showed moxie, stamina, and a willingness to tough it out with an impressive display of poise and class throughout what must have been quite an ordeal that included death threats and envelopes filled with white powder addressed to her.
O’Donnell’s always been a rancid-souled bastard, but his unwillingness to check his bitter partisanship at the door even for the young daughter of a politician he disagrees with is a new low in a career of lows.
He also makes a bit of a fool of himself here trying to be cute and flirty. The whole interview reminded me of the scenes between Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lectre in “Silence of the Lambs.”
