Is Lawrence O'Donnell The Most Willfully Stupid Person On American Cable Tee Vee?

Listening to Larry O. pretend like he's so much better than the Rolling Stone is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.  This is Sean Hannity-level stupid and Bill O'Reilly-like self-delusion.  O'Donnell is pretending that he's protecting his Boston peeps or some dumb shit; this is as insane as when he got all pissy because he knew something about a law once and didn't get credit for his very obvious opinion.  Is Larry scared that he's gonna get canned and have to go grovelling to Fox "News"?  Was this his audition tonight?
