7. Lawrence is a good guest host, isn't he?
I was just thinking about how good it would be to see a panel of Lawrence, Paul Begala and Thom Hartmann together. I think they could tag-team against any Right Wingers you could find, don't you?

12. Every cable news show host needs to watch and learn. This is how it's done.
Larry O'Donnell blows them all way. His command of the facts and ability to knock down the bullshit arguments offered up by the GOP is far superior to anyone else on TV, including Keith Olbermann. Olbermann is very good, though he doesn't always have his facts right, but he always phrases his questions in such a way as to show bias.

Tweety should be thanking God right now that he just renewed his contract.

17. Me too. He did it again today to a skinhead wingnut, then the guy got "unplugged".
Edited on Fri May-08-09 05:48 PM by ClarkUSA
O'Donnell "apologized" then moved on.

28. Yes, he would have been but he's considered too "partisan" by NBC bigwigs.

19. He just embarrassed the hell out of that conservative asshole.
He totally blew his talking point out of the water with facts.

He should have his own show. Why not take the 5 o'clock spot from Matthews. Tweety can keep the 7 o'clock spot.

Wingnut.

Lawrence is great as usual. Has he ever hosted before? He needs his own show.

23. I do wish that O'Donnell had his own program....
He smacks down the wing nuts and does not allow them to get away with anything. I LOVE this guy!!!! Hopefully, as someone else mentioned, this is a test run for O'Donnell and we will see him on MSNBC late cable programming. I much prefer O'Donnell to Mathews - Chris really does get on my nerves more times than not.

32. Go here:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/

I have this page bookmarked--contains vids from all the MSNBC shows. Just scroll down to where it says, "The Ed Show".

I love O'Donnell too. I also think he should have his own show.

27. O'Donnell was unbelievable
He knocked down neo-con shills one by one. Truly the John Rambo of progressives.

34. Incidentally, is the Ed Show doing OK ratings wise?
I tend to think it's probably tanking.

36. he gets 1/3rd as many viewers as KO and RM and half as many as Tweety.

I've never been a fan. Not sure why but I just don't like his show. I'd love to see Lawrence O'Donnell have his own show. He's quick on his feet.

39. I say he should take over Joe Scar and Mika's show.
I'd love waking up to Lawrence! He'd sure set the tone for the day.

40. They ought to give O'Donnell his own show.
He really savaged Gaffney and Rifkin. A good line-up would be Schultz, O'Donnell, Olbermann and Maddow. Buh-bye, Tweety.

41. He's great.
I'm hoping they're are giving him all these opportunities because they are considering him for a show. Whenever I see him on Morning Joe or somewhere else on MSNBC I'm relieved because I know he will hold his own and then some against anyone else's moronic arguments.

42. Eww -- I just went to the MSNBC link to find a rerun of the show
and there are pictures of all the hosts for the shows. For Morning Joe, Joe is standing in front all puffed up and proud as a peacock and Mika is behind him in his shadow. I can't stand Joe and I'm not wild about Mika either but that picture is an insult.

43. Add me to the list of O'Donnell fans
I would LOVE to see him get his own show. He's fantastic. I used to actually stomach the McLaughlin show just to watch him - and early on, I was never 100-percent sure which side he was on. He just seemed so intelligent and made sense ALWAYS. I absolutely would tune in to a show he hosted. Just love him.
