"In our view, O’Donnell has been a disgrace for years, dating back to his active role in the wars against Clinton and Gore. He was still going out of his way to call Gore a liar, on TV, in October 2000! O’Donnell’s political background was with Pat Moynihan, who spent the last years of his career talking all kinds of crap about Social Security. (He too worked hard to undermine Gore, on this very topic.)"
http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh090210.shtml"But at least we got to see, once again, what the Post means by “balance.” On Sunday, Garrigan pandered and fawned to Thompson, in a profile so absurd that it stretched the boundaries of mainstream press nonsense. Providing the Democratic perspective, O’Donnell couldn’t say a good word about Gore, and he criticized all other Big Dems, calling Edwards a girlie-man phony. But then, so it has often gone as the mainstream press has acted out its notion of balance. This leaves us with a puzzling question: Who would put Garrigan’s nonsense in print? And who would provide such strange “balance?”"
http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh052207.shtml"Dionne and O’Donnell belong to a clan—a clan which has served you very badly over the years. The clan’s judgment has been astoundingly poor—and its character has been even worse. Like Kagan, clan members have kept their traps shut at pretty much every critical juncture, thus protecting their own career status. It’s no wonder they leap, as if by muscle memory, to defend the fellow-traveler who kept her own trap shut all through these past many years.
She would have spoken up, we’re told. But she wanted to land that good job!
This clan is powerful, and it lives for the clan. It has served you amazingly poorly over the course of the past twenty years. You are in Iraq because these perfumed losers refused to speak when the speaking was dangerous—when it meant opposing the views of the clan. This dates to 1999, of course, when the clan went to war with a candidate. (O’Donnell helped drive that war. Dionne refused to complain.)"
http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh051410.shtml"O’Donnell is modern High Liberal Royalty—and we have the defeats to prove it. In October 2000, he was still aggressively trashing Gore on The McLaughlin Group, dreaming up “lies” Gore plainly hadn’t told. (He did this from the “liberal” chair.) Four years later, he melted down on MSNBC as he tried to debate John O’Neill, head of the Swift Boat Vets. It was clear that O’Donnell wasn’t prepared to argue the facts of the case with O’Neill; members of his lordly class simply don’t prepare. As his high class typically does, he tried to compensate by shouting insults. O’Neill looked sane by comparison—and MSNBC pretty much booted O’Donnell off the air.
George Bush won the election.
Last week, O’Donnell appeared with guest host David Shuster, discussing the Sotomayor hearings. Frank Ricci had testified that day, and the conversation went there. Whatever you think of the Ricci decision, O’Donnell’s presentation was wonderfully foolish. If you didn’t care about political outcomes, this would just be good solid fun:"

O’Donnell, a fiery “TV liberal,” was earning well more than that paltry sum, writing the fatuous Hollywood scripts that had turned him into a screaming fop—the classic “TV liberal.” Eventually, Eleanor Clift did jump in, complaining about the High Pundit Foppistry with which she found herself surrounded. But O’Donnell, a “TV liberal,” wouldn’t stop. He had one last bit of praise for Bush’s plan—the plan that would eventually earn him and his Millionaire Pundit Class beaucoup bucks:
MCLAUGHLIN: Okay. Bush has said that if you comport to certain predesignated behavior patterns, then Gore's plan will work for you. But he, Bush, says, "I'm making this available for everybody's option. Not just those who've—
BARONE: John, John—
O'DONNELL: That's why rate cuts so attractive. Rate cuts work for everyone.
Translation: Rate cuts work for millionaires like me. But so it went as a “TV liberal” trashed Gore’s make-up and made-up lies. So it went as a “TV liberal” fought to put Bush in the White House."
http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh060305.shtmlOkay, that's a lot of reading and most people are not gonna click all those links, but we sure seem to love our millionaire pseudo liberals here because they often trash voters in the other tribe. Do we ignore all the times they trashed Democratic candidates? And do we ignore the fact that corporations are paying them millions of dollars? That maybe they watch what they say in order to stay on the gravy train?
