OMG - Lawrence O'Donnell is going to get his ass fired.

[jillan]

He is going after the entertainment department of NBC because they know if Donald renewed his contract.

Wow! He is pissed.

1. The smack down of Orly Taitz was AWESOME !!! n/t

[jillan]

3. I missed that - was that at the beginning of his show? I have a dvr - going to rewind.

[MadMaddie]

9. It was a thing of beauty!

[immoderate]

2. I don't think he is in jeapordy.

He could be thinking, "If NBC execs are OK with a racist Trump calling out the POTUS for publicity, they shouldn't complain about some of their own medicine.

Besides, Lawrence know the guys he's talking to. He knows they must be embarrassed. (Or capable of it.)

4. Keith Oberman was fired for the same reason.

Kieth donated to Democrats and Trump the Chump is running for f*@king President as a Republican.

[Angry Dragon]

8. trump is not running for anything except his mouth

He doesn't have the balls to declare to run for president
He has no more credibility than any one else

[chbrad2]

5. Lawrence is playing with fire!

I commend the guy for speaking his mind, but Donald Dump gets
higher ratings. Money trumps decency!

[Atman]

6. LOL! I said the exact same thing to my wife. But he's done soon anyway.

Thing is, he just found that he's going up against KO...and Lawrence's ratings are actually backsliding while everyone else on MSNBC is doing well. He had absolutely nothing to lose. He knows he's getting cancelled soon anyway.

11. I can't remember exactly what he said in days gone by

that was a similar explosion, but it was enough that he was ostracized by the media that previously had given him a platform. McLaughlin eventually slid him back onto his (The McLaughlin Group) show, but it has taken Lawrence a long time to get back to where he would be given a second chance. I am thinking he might not be fired because there is a lot more tolerance these days by networks for political drama. The previous episode was a bit more politically charged, and watching it when it happened, I thought Lawrence might actually stroke out. I saw his reaction to Tate this evening, and while he was extremely passionate, he never appeared to be suffering a true loss of control.

I have always truly liked and admired him, but I was chagrined when I saw his willingness to attempt to fill KO's shoes, and I thought at the time he should have walked away. It seems on the same level as condoning the treatment KO was given, but in all fairness to Lawrence, Rachel said Keith quit. I guess we won't really know for some time the truth behind some of these events, but this one thing I do know. When Keith debuts on his new show, I will applaud his return and be there for as many broadcasts as I can.

7. I don't think he cares..he's after the truth

[RamboLiberal]

14. He doesn't care - read a couple of months ago he doesn't

want this gig to last more than 2 years more.

[PDittie]

10. I agree. I think he wants them

to fire him. He appeared to be almost daring them to fire him.

[BuelahWitch]

12. I'm watching the repeat. It is AWESOME!n/t

[Greybnk48]

13. I'm watching it right now on Tivo and I don't think

Lawrence gives a fuck, especially given his calling out of NBC execs in re: to Trump.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. That's exactly what we said.

O'Donnell will find himself Olbermanned if he doesn't watch out.

[AsahinaKimi]

16. Well if he does...

I am sure Keith Olbermann can help him out.

17. Say hello to Current TV :)
