Related: About this forumDid I just see what I saw on Lawrence O'D?
Did I just stroke out, or did I really just see that? Anyone else just catch Lawrence O'Donnells last two minutes? That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! No exaggeration! Ever!!
Still can't figure it out. We're they acting? Was it real? Hmmm.

(3,266 posts)Lawrence's first question was "What is wrong with you?". Weiner was confused, and said something like, what do you mean? Are you talking about my personal life incident? And Lawrence asked him, no I mean what is wrong with you? Why can you not live without being in public office? And then just lit into him for 5 minutes. Talked over him, berated him... It was horribly uncomfortable, cringeworthy...and you could plainly see Weiner was completely caught off guard, totally ambushed. It was really strange, unprofessional, even kinda mean. Wieners a douche, but Lawrence was WAYYYYY over the line.

I applaud someone dropping all pretext have having to be polite to fucking idiots.

Turnabout is fair play.

(20,450 posts)What the fuck just happened with Larry? And Weiner was really weird. He's a nutcase.
On a much more positive note, I was 100% impressed with de Blasio on Chris Hayes. I just wish I lived in NYC.

(4,482 posts)Lawrence wasn't trying to interview him; he was trying to provoke an angry outburst by Anthony Weiner.

(51,556 posts)If you've been watching Lawrence, and I have because I do like him, he has been pretty disgusted with Weiner, and has been making comments like that for some time now, particularly the one about why the heck Weiner insists on running for public office. Weiner is a dumbass for going on the show thinking he'd get off with a few softballs.
O'Donnell gets pretty intense with bullshitters. And I am really fine with that.
