Lawrence O'Donnell guest hosted "The Ed Show" tonight and this guy was choke slamming right wing idjuts left and right. In the first clip he peeled the skin off of both Frank Gaffney's and David Rivkin's hide on the issue of torture. They will be licking those wounds for some time.
And then he took aim at Scott Wheeler over his planned opposition to Judge Sonia Sotomayor should she be President Obama's Supreme Court nominee and blew his ass right out of the water. They may just have to find a place for Larry in the line-up over there at MSNBC.
I have been swimming upstream against the tide of liberal/progressive outrage about the potential for a Chris Matthewsrun for the Senate in Pennsylvania. The truth is the guy frustrates the hell out me on a regular basis with some of the stuff he lets people get by with saying on his show. He also isn't above trashing the Clintons and creating phony controversies for kicks and giggles. But I tolerate Tweety because maybe once or twice a week he pulls off something like this. Now whenever someone can find another talking head that consistently PWNS lyingassconservatives on a major cable network I am going continue to ride with Tweety. I might not vote for him if I lived in Pennsylvania and if he chose to run, but I don't and so far he hasn't so its a none issue for me. To me its a dog whistle for the left like the "fairness doctrine" is a dog whistle for the right. But regardless of that, if he keeps on putting in this kinda work, I will keep on being a fan of his.
