Just a little. Four years ago, I read a bit in the NYT about an interview in which she said "I'm not one to attribute all human activity to global warming". She got a fair amount of flak over this, but all about what she thought she was saying, not about the fact that she can't speak English.

I was hoping he'd give it a miss after Dolan strongarmed the Dems into inviting him to give them a scolding.

Well said.Β <br /><br /><br />Can't help remembering when Herman Cain was on his show, and O'Donnell started the ritual attack on Cain for advocated war when he'd never served, and Cain pointed out that he'd had a whole (Federal Civil Service) career working as a mathematician for the Navy. On that occasion at least, Cain's enormous asshattery was matched.

Some amusing, and revealing, links on the right side of the Newsmax page. Clearly they're following the Faux News wingnut echo chamber model. I'm beginning to understand why folks who read this crap for their "news" are constantly outraged when reality intrudes.

See reference to "echo chamber" above.

"After my foreign trip in 2008, I was attacked as a celebrity because I was so popular with our allies overseas. And I have to say I'm impressed with how well Governor Romney has avoided that problem."

I LOLed.

Lawrence O'Donnell may be having a rash in his Olbermann diapers over this, but that doesn't erase the fact that Mitt was kind of being a dickhole.

Which is totally in character for a dickhole. The wingers are proud of him, because here's another example of him actually sticking by his earlier position (of being a dickhole).

True. His sanctimony gets irritating though, to me at least.

Were any previous candidates or presidents driven by daddy issues? Let's think...

Chimpy, JFK, FDR, John Quincy Adams...

That's just a start. Of course they retired the trophy after GWB. And what was the title of Barry's book?

The ultra-rich aren't used to spending so much time among The Great Unwashed. It's tiring.

Irritating things about O'Donnell:

1. He always says "jerning" instead of "joining," as in "Jerning us now, Krystal Ball and her incredibly irritating rich-girl gargle voice."

2. He ridicules Romney and other candidates who've never been in the military for not having been in the military, when he himself is of Veet-nahm draft-bait age and, uh, <i>didn't serve.</i>

3. His show generally sucks.
