Lawrence O'Donnell's MSNBC Shouting MatchMSNBC political analyst Lawrence O'Donnell tore into John O'Neill on Scarborough Country last night. "He has been yelling at John O'Neill for about 12 minutes and called him a liar at least a couple dozen times during that same time period," PoliPundit says. "Gee, ya think Lawerence O'Donnell might not want the audience to hear the Swift Boat Vets' charges?," The Daily Recycler asks. He has the video. Michelle Malkin is all over it, too.> "It's been a long time since I've seen such an out-of-control shouting match!," Johnny Dollar e-mails in. Jon Stewart: WP Today, 60 Minutes Tomorrow> Jon Stewart is the subject of a 60 Minutes piece Sunday night. The AP previews it: "You know ... what has become rewarded in political discourse is the extremity of viewpoint," Stewart says on the show. "People like the conflict. Conflict baby! It sells. Crossfire! Hardball! Shut up! You shut up!" AND: "Well, CNN says, `You can depend on CNN.' Guess what? I watch CNN. No, you can't!"> Howard Kurtz profiles "the campaign of a comedian" today. > This needs a correction: Kurtz calls the Stewart/Xfire moment "one of those weird, awkward, riveting television moments that more than 670,000 people downloaded from cnetnews.com in the following days." First Kurtz mis-stated the source: CNet News.com reported that "online video hosting site IFilm said, more than 670,000 people had downloaded the CNN clip from its site." Second, why didn't he check for an updated figure? As of this afternoon, over 1.6 million people had downloaded the clip. Candy's Covered With Campaign Trail BruisesThe WP Magazine talks to CNN's Candy Crowley in its Sunday editions: "Do I see myself doing this forever? No. It's very physically demanding. I come home, I'm covered with bruises from hitting plane seats and computers crashing up against you -- because you're on the plane, you're off the plane, you're in the bus, you're off the bus, you're in the hotel room, you're in the baggage room. I remember when I was covering Bill Clinton, who was, like, 24/7 all the time, coming into a hotel around 1 a.m., and he's shaking hands with everyone. I get to bed and it's 2, and the bag call is at 6 a.m., and I washed out my pantyhose. I woke up the next morning -- they weren't dry yet. I called up [a friend], and I said, 'I'm never covering another campaign when my pantyhose don't have time to dry overnight.'" |
