The blank T-1000 stare into the camera. The almost sociopathic absence of any emotion except selfish rage. The dead, baggy eyes. The pasty visage of an aging Brahmin. Picture Conan O’Brien: now take away the youthful pep, the conviviality, the range of emotion, and the talent.
How creepy is Lawrence O’Donnell?
In his disgraceful “interview” with Herman Cain, Larry made much ado about Cain’s work as an analyst for the Department of the Navy during the Vietnam War. This offended Larry because analysts didn’t shoot Vietnamese people, and Larry only likes people who physically fought in a war he probably opposed anyway. (Though if Cain had been on the front lines, Larry would have accused him of engineering My Lai.)
By the way, where was Larry during the Vietnam War? At Harvard, of course.
So? Yet another Leftist robot. Who cares?
I am past outrage. I just do not pay any attention to such drivel, anymore. These guys are just part of the tinfoil-hat brigade, the lunatic fringe. My eyes just shift away when I see them. My ears just tune them out.
Seriously, I think fully 75% of MSNBC’s ratings come from conservatives waiting around to be righteously indignant at something these people say. Who cares? The MSM had a Pyrrhic victory with Obama: they got their guy in, but were exposed for the partisans they always have been. The cat’s out of the bag; people know there are other ways to get news.
Let MSNBC and their ilk die, peacefully.

MSNBC creepy!
The blog and commments miss the point. Lawrence O’Donnell is a putz – so what’s new? The fascinating thing was how well Herman Cain parried every creepy attack, stayed calm, confident and collected, and looked every bit the leader we all want. Play the video of the interview again. Doesn’t Cain sound like a man we’d want as president, taking on the creeps in the world and inspiring us all in the process?
Exactly, Jim. I was impressed by Herman Cain’s composure. I think he’s the closest thing I’ve seen to the Reaganesque quality of disarming his foes with such charm and by remaining true to his convictions.
Nancy & Jim: Completely agree. The creepier the interviewers (and the MSM has a boatload of ‘em) the better the Hermanator looks. OTOH, I think Robert Wargas’ description of the Democrat hack is priceless:
“The blank T-1000 stare into the camera. The almost sociopathic absence of any emotion except selfish rage. The dead, baggy eyes. The pasty visage of an aging Brahmin. Picture Conan O’Brien: now take away the youthful pep, the conviviality, the range of emotion, and the talent.”
As for the comment, “Who cares?” I think it’s important to care. Not to obsess, but to call out creepiness, disgraceful conduct and bigotry (I mean against Republicans) whenever they rear their ugly heads.
You mean there are people who actually watch MSNBC??? Wow.
Lawrence who?
