Lawrence O should be hosting "Meet the Press" Gregory would NEVER have

[ncteechur]

eaten anyone's lunch like that.

[polichick]

1. Few Republican blowhards will have the courage to go up against him after this...

...but it sure would be great viewing!

[eleny]

2. Honest to god but you are so right

:thumbsup:

[PretzelWarrior]

3. ....must...have....video!

[kristopher]

13. Try to tune in at 7PM.

[Hutzpa]

4. Who Gregory

{{{facepalm}}}}

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

I don't know. I think the guy used to be MC Rove's backup dancer. nt

[ncteechur]

5. How about a new show.."Meet my My Left Boot" or "Kick Your Ass-Ball"

[madmax]

6. I would love to see that.

Lawrence as host of MTP. No softballs, no bullshit. I can't stand David Gregory - he sucks.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. ....

[BlueIdaho]

8. OMG he Town Hauled him!

He ripped that turd a new asshole! I wish we could have seen the feed after the segment ended - he must have exploded!

[PretzelWarrior]

10. he did what?

is that when you haul someone through town? Not familiar with that Idaho idiom.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Take on "Town Hall"

Only more like Keel Hauling...

[DeepBlueC]

15. Town Hauled ... I love it!

:applause: The English language thanks you!

[PretzelWarrior]

9. "You wanna come on THIS show and start running that shit??--uh. not just no."

"HELL NO!" "Now answer the goddamn question, you liar!"

One can fantasize

[EFerrari]

11. That's why they hired Gregory. n/t

[Ilsa]

12. Thank Goodness Rachel Maddow will be on this sunday

to correct their errors and lies.

[Doctor_Horrible]

18. I haven't watched MTP since Russert died - but I will this week to see Rachel!! nt

[PatSeg]

16. Been a big fan of O'Donnell's for some time

Now THAT was real Hardball! O'Donnell is knowledgeable, experienced, articulate, and fearless.

He needs his own show!

[truedelphi]

17. Great idea. That would really cheer me up on Sundays. n/t

[OneGrassRoot]

19. I just watched it again....

a thing of beauty.

Jon Stewart will probably highlight it.

:applause:

[quiller4]

20. I'd love to see it. n/t

[Phx_Dem]

21. O'Donnell is FAR superior than everyone on cable news except

Olbermann, Maddow, Schultz. There is just no comparision to his knowlege of issues (which is sort of important :sarcasm:) and his ability to conduct a skillful and informative interview without being condescending or snotty. Gregory, like Diane Sawyer, thinks being tough is the same think as short and snotty.

Lawrence couldn't have been more polite and nice to that sad misinformed subserviant woman from the town hall who has no idea how much money her husband makes, and still managed to make her look like a complete fool with a smile on his face.

[quantass]

22. FINALLY, strong Journalism!!!

[Dinger]

23. Yes!

I don't even watch MTP anymore.

[pyoom]

24. I think Maddow would be a better MTP host. nt

[DailyGrind51]

25. They coudn't get any GOPs to appear, with L.O. asking the questions!

[Honeycombe8]

26. That's why Lawrence will never be hosting a program, though. He lost his cool

and interviewing skills.

Those are supposed to be interviews, guys. Not full-blown debates.

Larry is not experienced at interviewing, and it showed. He'll get better, I'm sure. But he won't ever be hosting a program.

[quiller4]

27. What are you talking about? Larry was WONDERFUL!!!

[HopeOverFear]

28. Yeah, he kicked Culberson's FAT ASS

[Honeycombe8]

34. That's the problem. People filled with anger and angst and wanting to blow it out

the top on those with differing viewpoints....they liked Larry.

That's a big problem. This wasn't a debate or a confrontational town hall meeting. It was in "interview."

It didn't meet the definition of interview because Larry lost his cool and didn't let the interviewee answer questions. He really didn't. I WANTED to hear the other guys weak answer, but Larry wouldn't even let the guy get the answer out of his mouth before Larry started yelling at him. Not an interview. Great for partisans who just wanted to yell at people, like those guys at the town hall meetings. But NOT a discussion between two people with differing opinions.

Larry will NEVER have his own interview show. Watch. You'll see.

[CreekDog]

30. yeah, that will never sell...

:eyes:




of course O'Donnell's version is based in fact, which is what distinguishes it from these two. nevertheless, to say that disqualifies him from getting his own program...what planet are you on? :shrug:

[Honeycombe8]

35. Larry was much worse than Hannity, even. You know how you're unhappy with the town hall meeting

birthers who are yelling at people and not letting others talk? Remember that?

That's what Larry was doing. Only worse, because he'd invited this guy on his show to have a "discussion" among differing viewpoints on the subject. There was no discussion. Just Larry yelling at the interviewee, preventing him from answering questions.

If you don't like it when the other side does it, how is it you think it's okay when your side does it? Only worse...it was done by a supposed professional interviewer.

So he was worse than the experienced interviewers. He lost his cool. Even Tweety rarely does that. Tweety interrupts, but he lets the interviewee get his point across. Tweety then hammers that viewpoint. Hannity is the worst among the ones you cite. But do you really think his style is something to emulate? And Larry was worse than Hannity, even. (I watch Hannity occasionally, until I have to switch channels when nausea ensues.)

[CreekDog]

38. Culbertson says he's against government run healthcare & says he would have voted for Medicare?

what's wrong with this picture?

[Doctor_J]

37. Snark

The reason O'Donnell will never host a program is that he chews up wingers and spits the little pieces back out.

Are you a repub, or an appeaser?

[Bluenorthwest]

29. MTP is the past

Lawrence deserves a much better gig than that.

[butterfly77]

31. You are 100%correct!

[Claire Beth]

32. I don't bother watching MTP anymore...

and Yes, Lawrence O'Donnell (sp) would be so much better than David Gregory.

[crazy_vanilla]

33. Gregory stinks

he is a republican suck-up and his antipathy to us lefties is very thinly disguised.

[Doctor_J]

36. That's why Gregory is the host

he's a slobbering right-wing whore
