How is it That I'm Enjoying Howie Carr More than Lawrence O'Donnell Today?

     Talk about something being askew. I was listening to Lawrence last night and I'm a big fan but I really thought his show last night was kind of short-sighted.

      He wasted an awful lot of time criticizing Donald Trump and praising Megyn Kelly. I don't think Kelly deserves any praise.

     On the other hand criticizing Trump is a waste of time and a squandering of opportunity.

     Lawrence, you were always so strategic. Now you sound as clueless as commentators at Daily Kos or Firedoglake. Criticizing Trump is silly.

     1. It's too easy-it's just the lowest hanging fruit in the world. I mean we don't need you to rap Trump's knuckles so we realize that it's wrong to insult people 'even Rosie O'Donnell'-I mean that Trump's comments are absurd and wrong ought to go without saying. So why do you keep saying it?

     2. Liberals benefit from Trump. Again I shouldn't have to say this. How come Krugman, Paul Waldman, Warren Buffet, and Bill Clinton-who you worked for! I mean for God's Sake-know this without having to be told but you don't get it?

    I mean you used to think strategically. Who can forget how mad you would make the firebaggers at Firedoglake when you pointed out that Obama totally outwitted the GOP in the Great Debt Ceiling Chicken Debacle of 2011?

   O'Donnell did do one thing I could relate to. He revealed that he spent 3 hours last Friday listening to Rush Limbaugh and that he then listened to Howie Carr for the next 4 hours. I used to live in Massachusetts and listened to Howie Carr.

    What Howie said after the debate was pure music to my ears as it should be for any thinking Democrat-provided they aren't totally besotted with Bernie Sanders for some strange reason.

    "They didn’t lay a glove on him."

    "Donald Trump is still on top, and it became clearer each moment in last night’s debate that Juan Ellis Bush is running in the wrong party."

    "Could he have possibly used any more MSNBC dogwhistles? Immigration, Bush said, is a “wedge issue.” (That means, it’s a problem created by Democrats, for Democrats.) Trump is “divisive.” (That means he’s figured out the right wedge issues.) He said he stands by his statements that when illegal aliens, the “valedictorians” as he calls them, commit crimes, they are “acts of love.”

   "Just ask Kate Steinle’s family."

   "Bush twice said illegals should be “drivers” of economic recovery. Drivers? Do you ever read the newspapers, Juan? Any newspapers — New Hampshire, Florida, Massachusetts? One of our biggest problems is your valedictorians behind the wheel, usually drunk out of their minds."

   "This was one of the few times a televised event actually lived up to the hype. Two hours is a long time, too long to disguise your real character, not to mention politics.

     I mean I couldn't write this any better. Howie is actually more effusively for Trump than Rush-who is at least trying to stay in the middle. He loves Trump and hates Jeb. Excellent. I feel the same way.

    So please, Lawruence, tell me you're in the Know-Nothing movement and don't just: know nothing. 

     P.S. The best news of all is that Roger Ailes and Trump have hugged it all out. Hannity had one of Trump's people on and praised Trump profusely.

    P.S.S. I said earlier that I've never seen a troll job like this in my life in a Presidential race. What makes it so great is that conservative Republicans just have no sense of context.

   So even though Rush noted that the 'liberal media' has been strangely uncritical of Trump he read nothing too much into it-this is because like all Republicans he hates context. Once a conservative
Republican believes something he's just never going to let you talk him out of it.

  I worry that folks like Lawrence ruin it with their un-strategic outbursts but it might actually be a good thing. Hopefully Rush watched Lawrence and said to himself 'But the communist O'Donnell is still against Trump.
