but had no luck finding it. It was during the Syria crisis.

But there are several that show him not being very graceful or able to admit when he's wrong. I have a problem with anyone who can't admit that.....

Here he is after being on O'Donnell's on w/Chris Hayes and Grayson dials it way down with Karen Finney, about Syria this time. It's essentially the same discussion.

Edit: The guy isn't a saint and shouldn't be lauded so highly as if he were. He can be rude, obnoxious and completely pissy. And when he's like that with women, my personal regard of him is lowered.
