Is There a Creepier Newscaster Than MSNBC's Wannabe Poet Lawrence O'Donnell?

  Bob Hoge – RedState

I mean, what even is this? His “closed-eye space?” Lawrence, you have truly jumped the shark. It's like Bob Dylan lyrics gone bad, written and delivered by someone who has none of his talent. 

"I watch plenty of newscasts and opinion shows (in all my free time), and I’m used to seeing detached-from-reality takes from Whoopi Goldberg and the harridans on "The View," or nonsensical diatribes from Joe Scarborough and wife Mika—an odious pair who are disturbingly obsessed with their Trump hatred despite being extremely tight with the former president just a few years ago—or CNN anchors twisting themselves into pretzels attempting to defend Biden’s indefensible failures.

"But there’s another pundit out there who routinely drops lunatic commentary that makes you think, “How on earth did this guy get hired by a major U.S. news network?" His name is Lawrence O’Donnell, and he works for—you guessed it—MSNBC. I don’t watch him much, I don’t think anyone does, but he’s drawing notice this week by dropping two of the strangest, creepiest monologues you will ever see on your television. (Or for most people these days, on your computer monitor.)

"The first was when he described Stormy Daniels arriving in court for Donald Trump’s business records persecution trial, where his comments almost defy description (I will make the attempt anyway), the second was when he went into some weird mystical fantasy about the meanings of the former president’s facial tics. They almost seem inspired by a mushroom high, they’re so weird.

"Let’s start with Stormy:

He describes the porn performer whose claim to fame is having often violent sex with an untold number of men and women as if she’s some sort of Goddess-like saint from another galaxy—so pure, so virtuous, someone we should look up to and emulate. He delivers his sermon in quiet, dramatic tones as if he’s witnessed a profound miracle that has affected him deep within his soul.

Finally, . . ."This man needs to be put in a padded room. Preferably alongside Keith Olbermann."  Well, he is from MSNBC. And has been caught  reporting false stories about President Trump.

MSNBC has such a bad reputation that they have become fertile ground for parody sites like this: MSNBC Admits They Make Up All Stories About Trump Using Book Of Mad Libs | Babylon Bee
