Lawrence O'Donnell is carving on Michael Steele - there may be a new orifice when he's done.
It's still going on, an interview with a squirming, uninformed chairman of the Republican Party whose gums are flapping as he is saying nothing that makes any sense, while he's wrapping it in excessive smiles and flowering verbiage.

O'Donnell is squeezing him on his position on Minimum Wage, and he says he is not a position person he is interested in the Republican's winning.
Gives no position on the subject.

Imagine the depth of avoidance this implies, of ignorance, and of lack of humanity.

But the height of the embarrassment unquestionably was when Lawrence asked him

"HOW MUCH is the minimum wage",
and the ignorant showman DID NOT KNOW.

With enemies like that we're ahead for November. I'm very encouraged tonight.

:rofl:

2. No Steele -the correct answer to the minimum wage is not "you really are a funny man"

9. Now McDonnell has on Howard Dean - to discuss the Steele interview. I am laughing myself silly
because both these smart men dance around the idiot's answers and lack of knowledge and DON"T call him one. Just call him "ill-equipped".

6. O'Donnell is excellent
I so enjoyed that. I gleaned that he doesn't know what the republican platform even is, and that he's not even interested. talking points, flat out.

8. Where would they put it?
Steele has had so many orifices carved already, I'm afraid there's no more room! :)

12. Good question - but I believe it was successfully accomplished
with Howard Dean on right after him and O'Donnell had a good and smart man to bounce the embarrassment around with and compound it.

The answer would be to find Mr. Steele right about now, and see where he is bleeding.

18. I'd guess massive hemorrhaging...
...but he'll survive--which is fine with me. As RNC Chair, he's a gift to dems!

10. He absolutely destroyed Michael Steele
Steele is a dumb as a box of rocks - I don't think he even knows what Republicans stand for - he seems to be more of a cheerleader than anything.

17. None of them seem to know the issues. I bet their handbook focuses only on smear tactics & lies
since they couldn't win discussing the issues.

19. If Emanuel loses his mayoral bid he can take the RNC job
He'd be a natural for it.

He's an empty blowhard who loves Wall Street. He'd fit right in.
