Prime Time

A good night to nap.  Broadcast premiers.  Keith due back tomorrow.  Greenwald on O’Donnell (maybe).

Damn it Valentine, you never plan ahead, you never take the long view, I mean here it is Monday and I’m already thinking of Wednesday… It is Monday right?

You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the ’64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn’t happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the ’60’s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the ’64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

We have to keep out faith in the Republic. The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it.

    I’m going to go hear them do a lecture on photojournalism tomorrow.

    I guess I look up each one before I go but I was wondering if any image came to mind.    

  5. will appear tomorrow night on O’Donnell’s show:

    UPDATE: Tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 10:35 pm], I’ll be on Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC show to continue the “discussion” that we had on Morning Joe last Friday (which I wrote about here).  We tried to do it tonight but the logistics didn’t work out; I hope and expect the conversation will be constructive.

    This is Greenwald’s take down of Mr. O’Donnell’s denial.

    Lawrence O’Donnell vehemently denies his own words

    On Friday morning, I had a somewhat contentious discussion on Morning Joe with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell regarding the criticism I wrote of his election-night comments.  Salon posted the video last night — it’s here for those who haven’t seen it — and there has been extensive commentary about it in other places.  There were issues raised by this dispute that are actually substantive and important, and some of them received some worthwhile attention, but by and large, O’Donnell’s refusal to cease speaking for any longer than a few seconds at a time — the standard form of adolescent cable-TV behavior — caused the segment to degenerate into one of those cable scream-fests which was ultimately more headache-inducing than enlightening.  I have a few comments to make about the substance of these issues — and O’Donnell has invited me on his show on Monday night to discuss them, though it’s unclear if the logistics will work out — but first there is one point I particularly want to highlight and address.

    O’Donnell repeatedly insisted that I had attributed to him views that he did not actually express, and several times repeated that he said none of what I criticized him for saying; after the segment, he continued spouting that same accusation.  As I told him both during the segment and after, only the transcript will resolve that question, and — as I’ll demonstrate in a moment — it does.
