I can’t wait to see what Larry “I wrote laws, MFer! With Pat Moynihan!” O’Donnell has to say about his GOP man-crush Tim Pawlenty dropping out of the presidential race. Perhaps he’ll not report it at all, and act as if the T-Paw juggernaut in his head continues on apace? Or — maybe he’ll have an hour-long In Memoriam segment for the brilliant but tragically misunderestimated Pawlenty “movement”?
Or will Lawrence go negative, attacking Miss Submissive Corndog for ruining T-Paw’s Iowa debate with her Minnesota Not-Nice?
Your audience awaits, Lawrence. Oh — and the GOP field is simply shivering with anticipation to hear which competitor you’ll pick as your next ‘winner.’

The guy’s predicted one 2012 victory on his wee cable television programme, and T-Paw was his prediction.
Zero for one, Larry.
O’Donnell is the perfect example of the incestuous relationship between the ruling caste and the toady media. As such, he is insulted and angry every time it’s suggested that somebody who has never been a Congressional staffer should have the temerity to question his interpretation of the beltway morass.
I am reminded that 24 years ago this week, the one-hit wonder band T’Pau made its only appearance on the charts.
I have told you my Pat Moynihan stories, haven’t I, Meg? During the eighties, I lived one street closer to the Capitol than the Old Man *as L’OD sometimes refers to him* on a parallel street, half a block south of East Capitol. Several times we came home to find him camped on our steps, waiting to me let in.
Not sure which hapless staffer was delegated by Mrs Moynihan to retrieve *the Old Man* drunk from our stoop, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Larry & I had met cute one of those nights.
LoDo, this is for you:

I’m sorry to see Tim “Infrastructure? We don’t need no stinkin’ infrastructure” Pawlenty go. I thought he brought a nice sense of self-serving delusional mendacity to the Reprivatican petting zoo.
Now Teddy, Little Larry O spent all his time learning How a Law is Made. He didn’t have time for that stinking videotape thing-y.
Reverence, please. [I too worked on Capitol Hill once upon a time, but I don't get all snotty and braggy about it..]
Great story about sloshed Moynihan, BTW.
No! I hadn’t heard those stories. How glamorous!
Maybe Lodo will do the honorable thing and commit seppuku, or at least resign…! ;-)
Or at least he can quit with the silly predictions, thinking they make him sound plugged in to what the White House wants, while we know he’s simply being flattered by courtiers hoping to turn their relationship with LO’D to their own ends, back in the Real West Wing. Were we to believe Team Obama wanted T-Paw as a Formidable Opponent, and seeded that “idea” with LO’D, as he pimped the Paw around to the ‘progs’ in his viewing audience, looking plugged in to what Very Serious People were saying?
LO’D is new at this Video Vault stuff — but if he sees this compendium, his anger will be directed at us, not the Access Staffers who steered him awry. Or T-Paw.
What a world, what a system.
It was Pawlenty’s goons that cracked down on Journalists & activists at the Minnesota convention: They took political prisoners & tortured people in the streets with beatings and gassings.
There should have been a huge movement to stop this pig all along. Turns out it wasn’t needed.
Remember O’Donnell claimed to be a Socialist? I’ve never seen a Socialist as clueless …

O’Donnell is nothing more than another GE MSNBC stock monkey pretending that he is a liberal.
Since I don’t watch his tripe or any talk show tripe any more, I missed this prediction. What an idiot! But all the others are as well. They are bought and controlled like horses in a stable of their rich owners–even Rachel Maddow. Why do you think she has been recently silent on Dan Choi? Most likely it’s because Phil Griffin has visited her office and had one of his “talks” with her as he did with Olbermann and Uygur.
[Dan Choi was the openly gay soldier who was kicked out of the army in May over the DADT policy. Choi is a West Point graduate, an Arabic linguist; and a seasoned leader and combat veteran with service in Iraq. The last thing that an a-hole like Phil Griffin wants is for Maddow to be pointing out to the people how utterly stupid it is to sacrifice an Arabic linguist with a security clearance to placate bigot like Phil Griffin.]
I’ve always been surprise L O’D's religious bigotry against Mormons goes unremarked on.
Yeah this is a monumental O’Donnell flop, but it pales in comparison to his unrestrained exuberance he displayed for Obama’s negotiating skills during the debt ceiling talks. What a baffoon.
Did limousine lawrence ever apologize for those lefty bloggers that had it all “wrong” about obama’s willingness … anxiousness … to make budget cuts during the debt ceiling debacle even w/o any revenue increases? You know, the ones that lawrence taunted becoz they have no clue what goes on during these budget negotiations and are so far off in left field that o’donnell can’t even begin to explain it to them … you just have to be larry to know?
He should have lost his show after that bullshit, but then again the purpose of his show is to spread bullshit.

I’ve never seen a socialist so principle-less.

I challenge Larry to a Duel!
I challenge him to host Jane for a solid week and allow her to rebutt each point.
See! Easy, and no it will not result in death. LOL!
Lighten up, people. O’Donnel’s T-Paw pick was tongue-in-cheek. His point was that Pawlenty was so lacking in personality that he had fewer negatives than all the other candidates.
Horses in a stable! Ha-ha. I really like that anology. Sheesh! No wonder it’s a Derby every day without real news. They all have blinders on and racing to the finish.
What’s the problem, really? Sam Seder summed things up nicely, I think it gives O’Donnell an avenue of logic:
Did he say “socialist” or “socialite?”
hey LOWDO
didja hear,guess not GMA and Fox didnt herald it

KATIE O GRADY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOCIAL sECURITY!
This is the same guy that predicted Obama was going to perform a Farside Metzger followed by a Reach Around into a full Grandby (HT/The Mat.com) during the debt limit battle. He’s batting .333 since he got the reach around part right.
Miss Submissive Corn Dog?
Not sure what you are trying to suggest with the Bachmann fellatio schtick, but it is infantile and gratuitously insulting.
O’Donnell: “Twilight Zone” style creepiness packaged in a nice suit.
Oh thank-you for stating so elegantly and succinctly what I have been thinking of O’Donnell since he first started substitute hosting on MSNBC. ‘I was a Senate staffer so I know everything there is to know about how the Senate works. Ask me anything!!!’ He’s an arrogant asshole.
This is snark, right?
I’ve been wondering the same thing. A few months back, O’Donnell was all about how T-Paw would be the only one left standing after the GOP circular firing squaud had finished its work. But..but..but…he wrote actual laws, with actual, ya know, law-maker type people. I’m betting T-Paw’s “I’m outta here” announcement was just a ruse, and he will reemerge to claim the nomination. /s
Hey, that’s uncalled for.
There’s no reason to sully the good name of assholes by comparing them to Load-O.
I stopped watching Larry after he bullied Jane and Adam Greene one night while debating all the bills being pushed through during in December and his continuing banter about his law maker crap just became nausiating when he used it over and over during interviews to give his right leaning point of view weight.
Maybe T-Paw just gave O’D a shiver down his leg. Can’t think of any other reason. T-Paw looks like he has been hit with a 2×4 all the time.
Beautifully and hilariously put, Teddy.
The moment T-Paw dropped out I started laughing thinking about how righteously superior New England political preacher Lawrence O’Doucy would have to spin *that*.
Maybe he’ll just criticize voters for being so stupid they don’t see how he’s right.
Or maybe he’ll pronounce the GOP now has no chance against Obama.
Perhaps he’ll blame it all on MSDNC’s own personal bin Laden – the Tea Party.
I dunno…maybe he’ll avoid mention of it altogether and just rename his final segment to the “Me Right.”
OK, time to program the TiVo…. xD
Never liked him AT ALL, but I *refused* to watch LowDo evah again after his nasty sexist conservative sneering to Ashley Carsen in August 2010:
http://amormundi.blogspot.com/2010/08/lawrence-odonnell-was-asshole-last.html
http://www.americablog.com/2010/08/lawrence-odonnell-fans-fear-over-social.html
This was after Alan Simpson & his “govt tit” remark. Carson, a younger woman, spoke wisely about Soc Sec, and O’Donnell behaved like a sneering sexist oinking pig.
LoDo’s a highly paid spooge-bucket for the mega-rich masquerading as if he’s some kind of liberal. LoDo’s not even a limosene liberal… a real berk. Nothing of any value to say every. Waste of time.
I am not sure what you mean about Maddow “been recently silent on Dan Choi.” Do you know that he came out on her program? And that she has had Dan and Victor Fehrenbach on her program more than all other cable/network programs put together?
I just wonder where your outrage is coming from, and exactly what story you think Rachel is ignoring about Dan Choi: she’s been on the story, literally, from Day One.
um. no.
Thank you, that was my goal exactly.
Thank you.
That’s when I decided he was a PoS and not worth my eyeballs. I refuse to watch him now or ever. I’m glad to see someone else was turned off by that ugly display. And it was just before he had his own show and was subbing for Keith, I think.
Teddy, I nearly always agree with you, but not in this case. I don’t think anyone should post that photo, or the similar one of Santorum. We don’t have to get that low, IMHO.
I wonder too. This seems to be Liz Berry’s dead horse to beat. Rachel has been superb on Dan Choi. Liz, where have you been the last two years?
Hilarious.
It’s funny because it’s true.
I agree. I happened to catch a couple of clips of him in full-blown “Don’t you see!? It’s brilliant! Never before, has anyone ever had his opponents so where he wants them!” mode, he was speaking so breathlessly I thought he was on drugs.
Of course, only the crazy Professional Left is on drugs as we know, so he must not have been.
Gawd, you know what I love about FDL? You get first rate political commentary and insight together with first rate funny! Man, when you need a laugh to keep from going postal…
assholes are useful … can’t say that about too many in the sold out pre$$.
rmm
Never liked Lawrence O’D.
Where’s that clip of him explaining that he didn’t have to listen to a damn thing anyone said from the left because they have nowhere else to go?
Man-crushes are hilarious, would like to see more of these kind of video re-mixes.
Teddy, I think you’re wonderful, and I approve of your treating the subjects in just the manner they deserve.
I’d love to know what Keith thinks of him.
lol… he does have that spacey looke in his eyes alot.
This did it for me

We’re really going to miss T-Paw’s totally awesome “Armageddon” – style campaign videos. Maybe Rick Perry can hire the same people, so they can pick up where they left off.
I remember when LO wrote on Huff Post how the National Democratic Party would close ranks and support the candidacy of Ned Lamont after he defeated Joe Lieberman in the Dem Primary in CT. We see how that prediction worked out! Yawn
