Lawrence O’Donnell Attacks ‘Terrible’ NBC For Keeping ‘Curse of Donald Trump’ Alive

Lawrence O’Donnell continued his intra-NBC warfare against potential presidential something-or-other Donald Trump tonight, responding to the news that Trump, in fact, watches that MSNBC show “with some guy, O’Donnell” and couldn’t believe that O’Donnell would defend President Obama. O’Donnell took the opportunity to explain why he won’t have Trump on the show: “it takes a certain amount of sucking up” that he just won’t do.

O’Donnell began the segment with a Palinesque attack on Trump: “When asked the number of members of the House of Representatives, he had absolutely no idea. He couldn’t even venture a guess.” So it’s no wonder, he continued, that he wouldn’t know who O’Donnell was and would dismiss his show as “some show that gets no ratings.” “That’s the closest I can get to getting Donald on my show,” O’Donnell confessed, because “it takes a certain amount to sucking up to Donald… pretending he is some kind of adult who deserves to sit in an adult chair.” This, clearly, was something O’Donnell was not particularly up to doing.

O’Donnell then tried to explain why Trump was doing the presidential thing anyway: “because he desperately needs the income from the only paying job we know he has,” which he later described as Trump’s hosting gig on Celebrity Apprentice. He concluded his monologue by playing today’s novelty clip from Trump, about his great relationship with “the blacks,” after which he introduced Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart (who, as a “black,” was shocked to find out his relationship with Trump was so good, or existed at all).

With Capehart, O’Donnell redirected his ire towards NBC, to which MSNBC is, of course, related. Noting that Trump is likely to have his show canceled because “the ratings they have and everything is so terrible,” the show was “much to NBC’s disgrace,” concluding that “the NBC standard for crazy people in their primetime schedule saying mean hateful things… apparently you can do that at NBC.”

MSNBC hosts are so easily taunted , I guess it would be impossible to defend p for a full hour , so I’ll give them a pass .

“the NBC standard for crazy people in their primetime schedule saying mean hateful things…”
A slip of the tongue. He meant to say “MSNBC.”

Hypocrite much, larry?

Notice how the msnbc hosts spend their on-air time focussing on personal feuds? Thin-skinned, petty time-wasters.

NBC and Comcast must be stupid…..after all,they keep him around. For now.

You beat me to it! O’Donnell is projecting.

I love how the “NBC Family” is being tied up in knots by this Trump thing. First, he embarrasses the network with this birth certificate nonsense that everyone knows he doesn’t really believe. Then he goes on the Today show and drops a giant birther turd in Meredith Vieira’s lap and she basically has to smile and take it. Now the MSNBC prime time gang is enraged but their only recourse is to smear their own shit on the walls like the hooting chimpanzees they are. Meanwhile, Joe Scarborough is making a total ass of himself trying to talk up Trump as a credible candidate.

Pass the popcorn, folks. It can only get better.

Poor Laury sounds mad.

If he wants to talk about collapsing ratings he can look no further than msnbc’s 8PM timeslot. Since taking over Olbermann he has lost half a million viewers.

And NBC won’t get rid of one of their highest rated shows. Sorry Laury ^^

You libs must so very proud to have Larry and his top shelf progessive guests under your tent. What a coup.

Everyone is laughing at YOU Lawrence O’Donnell. Smile :)

Hay Lawrence… who get more ratings? You or him? Who makes NBCU more money? Who do you think they’ll keep?
WildMan

When is Comcast going to wake up as to all the idiots they have on the air and are paying a salary? PMSnbc is the joke of America. On any night where there is big political news, i.e., election night, balance the budget night (lolol) etc., people run ‘AWAY from PMSnbc like it is the plague. Course that happens every night.

Libs and their conspiracy theories……pathetic. Just admit it to yourself that the truth hurts and take it like a sissy already.

If Leary O’Donnell, who looks like a spouse- and child-beater, is angry…I am happy. It tells me that things aren’t going his way, which is great to see. The angrier this media hack is, the more I smile.

LOD doesn’t remember the night he had to be physically removed from the set because of his hate fest.

MSNBC does nothing but spew hatred in primetime, from the spitter to the hater himself, with a bit of Rachel’s nonesense stuck in between.

Just Larry’s desperate attempt to draw attention to his own show, seems Trump is being interviewed everywhere else and Lil’ Larry’s feelings are hurt.

The incident I’m talking about was on Scarborough Country; here is a review:

Something unbelievable just went down on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. Lawrence O’Donnell screamed at John O’Neill for two segments as substitute host Pat Buchanan hopelessly tried to moderate. O’Donnell interrupted O’Neill every few seconds, repeatedly called the Vietnam veteran a “liar” and a “creep,” and sneered, scowled, and shouted at the top of his lungs about how O’Neill did nothing to stop the war.

And then there is this recap:

I was curious, so I did a count of how many times Lawrence O’Donnell said “lies” “liar” or “lying.”

46 total times in 10 min. 45 seconds (much of which he was not talking)

First 5:10 O’Donnell didn’t speak
5:10-9:39: 6 times
10:55-12:25: 24 times
00:01-1:38: 7 times (beginning of second MP3 after break)
1:55-3:30: 9 times
(And I may have missed some due to crosstalk)
46 TIMES

That is th eincident I was talking about; they removed LOD from the set, he was so out of control.

Don’t have the video

Thank you for this wonderful history lesson. Do you have any tape of Caesar and the “Ides of March Have Come Segment”?

Sorry you don’t have the video. Absent that, I’m not going to believe it. It may have happened, but I’m not going to believe Michelle Malkin. One of the world’s great liars.

The ratings for Celebrity Apprentice are terrible? It’s no American Idol, but I’d say 7-8 million viewers is pretty good. … MSNBC lies!

Indeed. That 5 – 7 times better than anything on FOX “News”, isn’t it?

Not exactly. The latest numbers posted on Mediaite had O’Reilly at 3 million (for the 8 pm showing), so that’s roughly 2-3 times. But it is about 7-8 times better than anything on MSNBC.

Remarkable, how oblivious must he be to have the nerve to bring up anyone’s ratings? Larry has absolutely zero sense of proportion. And is he really so dense to say, “because he desperately needs the income from the only paying job we know he has.“?

If you had a debutante out on safari and the jeep stopped to watch a pride of lions hunting and devouring a cape buffalo O’Donnell would be the lap-dog yorkie, yapping at the lions while straining against his bedazzled leash.

New game. Who’s the next MSNBC to be fired? I thought Cenk, but now I’m leaning to O’Donnell.

In the end, it’ll be both, but the question is which one first?
HostileLogic

Donald Trump is attacking Obama aggressively and this is the reason that the latest PPP Poll has Trump out in front of all of the other GOP contenders by 9%.

GOP contenders are TOO TIMID.

Trump is simply showing them how it needs to be done.

“Some guy, O’Donnell”. That pretty much sums up O’Donnell’s career. Who the hell is he? Why he’s that skinny man with the really big ( pumpkin) head on the cellar-dweller network. There’s no way O’Donnell could suck to Trump because, his lips are firmly planted on Obimbo’s butt. He and that other guy…Maddow, are in constant turmoil over having enough butt space. Although, I do think the bigger man…Maddow, usually wins.
