Lawrence O’Donnell And Charles Blow Give George Zimmerman Pal Joe Oliver Epic Grilling

On Tuesday night’s The Last Word, George Zimmerman friend and former news anchor Joe Oliver finally ran into an interviewer who has been watching the game films, and the result was an epic two segments of television that left Oliver’s premise, that he knows Zimmerman well enough to know he couldn’t have killed Trayvon Martin in cold blood, in tatters.

This interview, with host Lawrence O’Donnell (possibly still steaming from last night’s walkout by Zimmerman’s lawyer) and The New York Times‘ Charles Blow, is amazing on many levels, and covers many of the points I’ve raised about the misleading, nonsensical things Oliver has been saying, and challenging the closeness of his relationship with Zimmerman. By the second segment, when WaPo’s Jonathan Capehart tagged in, Oliver began to actually dispute the characterization of him as a “close friend,” and told all three that “My role in this just doesn’t make sense.”

MUST SEE TV !!!

1. Yes, they did.

A bit too contentious for me, so left the room. Glad you watched, Tx4.

[mucifer]

2. wow I was expecting Lawrence to be less calm. He really did a great job.

[FarPoint]

3. Glad you got to see it!

We didn't maximize the the crossfire did we....it was very satisfying for me.

4. That sure did clarify a lot! Notice how strange he says clearly I do not know him from work in

segment one. And we work together in segment two. Together with the "I quit my job". So he clearly already establishes himself as a liar.

5. To quote CatWoman . . .

"Damn. I need a cigarette."

6. Thanks so much, Tx4obama!

I saw it in real time & enjoyed watching it again.

7. This is fantastic. The people coming out of the woodwork to deify Zimmerman while

trying to kill Trayvon all over again.

8. Huge KICK and REC - wow wow wow!

I usually don't watch Lawrence but am SO glad that I saw it tonite.

Both him and Charles Blow did the job the media should be doing.

Lawrence does need to calm down a bit - he gets a little too pushy at times, but wow.

9. Oliver is not a very good liar

first he claims they did not work together, then he claims they talked while they worked together Oliver has no credibility.

10. i cannot figure this guy out

he's obviously lying, but...why?

[crunch60]

12. He quit his job.. maybe someone is paying him to speak out in

Zimmerman's behalf. I think he has dug a big hole for himself and is a lair. One can lie by admission or omission, he has done both.

11. Joe Oliver should go into politics - he's an expert at dancing around questions

14. This is another Joe The Plumber moment

Find an opportunity when the cameras focus on you to turn that 15 minutes of fame
into a media, political career. Joe Oliver has sold his soul for that opportunity which
he knows will play well in his neck of the woods.

13. I wonder if he is just one of those pathological people

who just wants to be on tv all of the time. He might not be paid by anyone.
