Lawrence O'Donnell Goes Roland Freisler on MSNBC

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, who is also a Democratic operative, did his Keith Olbermann imitation against writer Mark Thyssen on the Morning Joe show with Joe Scarborough and his hapless sidekick Mica Brzxkvfski (who looked like she was wearing her kitchen apron).

Thyssen is the former aide to President George W Bush, who has written a book (Courting Disaster) blasting Obama for ending the CIA interrogation program. That, of course, doesn't sit well with Sir Lawrence. Watch as O'Donnell poses his "well-thought out questions".



Actually, on second thought, O'Donnell's outburst comes right out of the Roland Freisler school of questioning. And who is Roland Freisler, you ask? Freisler was the Nazi judge who presided over the "trials" of the German resistance leaders implicated in the plot to kill Hitler. Watch as "Raving Roland" does his Lawrence O'Donnell imitation.


Freisler died unexpectantly in the Berlin courthouse when a bomb accidentally fell out of an American airplane and landed on his head. Hopefully, MSNBC's falling ratings won't hit O'Donnell on the head. The force of that fall would surely be just as fatal.
