Lawrence O'Donnell Meltdown

    Lawrence just had a complete meltdown on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

    They're interviewing Marc Thiessen and Laurence just went off on him and the Bush administration.

    When Joe couldn't get him to settle down, he told producers to go to a commercial & said that he would be interviewing Marc "by myself" when they returned.

    Joe looked pissed. Laurence is unhinged.

    Caught it also. O'Donnell is a nut case but entertaining and genuine. His South Boston roots showed.

    I want to catch Joe and Mica on their radio program for the follow up

    I was disappointed that when they returned from break, Lawrence was still on the set.

    I was really hoping he had been sent to the dog house. That would have only made him more pissed off.

    But you could tell he had been put in his place to some degree & he wasn't happy about it.

    Filling in on occasion for Keith-O on "Countdown" is starting to wear off on O'Donnell.

    He's about one "Special Comment" away from being as irrelevant as the guy he fills in for. Nothing more than a mouthpiece for the left and becoming more unhinged every time he's on MSNBC.

    O'Donnell is going to be on Joe/ Mika WABC radio show in about 5 minutes.

    Morning Joe is one of the most useless shows on the air. Between Scarbrough's outright ignorance and hypocrisy and Mika's potted plant act, it's usually pretty much unwatchable.

    If more people had "gone off on the Bush Administration" when it was taking the country down the toilet, maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.

    Morning Joe is one of the few intellectually honest balanced political shows on TV.

    Damn. I was busy & didn't see your post.

    Just tuned in. They're still talking about it.

    Here's the clip from MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/

    I've never listened to Joe on the radio before.

    Is he more partisan on the radio in general, or did this incident just get him worked up?

    Probably helps Mark Thiessen sell more books than he would have otherwise.
