Lawrence O'Donnell is one of the most knowledgeable persons on television

This down memory lane with Ford, Kissinger and the withdrawal from Vietnam is a wonderful lesson on ReTHUG hypocrisy.

Thanks Lawrence - nail the scumbags - political and media.
This is excellent

I like Brian Williams too. Not sure I can think immediately of a female anchor that might be the best fit for the nightly line-up. I'd definitely like to see that--but the only one that comes to immediate mind is Nicole Wallace and I can't see her wanting to work nights. That said, Ali Velshi has certainly earned his stripes.

Rachel will have a new weekly program, and I think she'll get more time - maybe 2 hours (?). Not sure but it will be announced soon.

It's less pressure on her, and she'll have the opportunity to explore new topics in-depth.

The only one who constantly has said the withdrawal had zero chance of not being chaotic and we had to expect loss of life. And he never had guests on to say nonsense.

Like Rachel, he has really a great research staff and show-runners.
I've learned so much from listening to Lawrence, and Rachel too.
