Ordinarily I don’t get into spats like this…but since this is now on the internet, I figure I should answer it rather than let the silly stuff linger.  (Plus it is fun to have fun with him like this.)

My conclusion?  MS/NBC Lawrence O’Donnell read a script someone else wrote for him…or he has a potato in his ear (or in both ears)…or  has a wild imagination about me…or he is just being silly. :)  He knows better.  He knows the point I was making – that ALL our leaders don’t speak to each other and also don’t speak adequately to the American people and hence we have things getting way out control.

Back story: I was on ABC This Week on Sunday discussing the Jade Helm 15.  O’Donnell accused me  on his show on MS/NBC of blaming (only) President Obama by name  — O’Donnell is being silly.  He criticizes me by saying I didn’t name everyone else I called out by name as failing us, but he does admit I said used the generic names:  Congress, the Governors etc….(see video below.)  Yes, I blamed EVERYBODY – Republicans, Democrats, House, Senate, Governors and President Obama.

He knows the absurdity of calling out every name of every person I put in that pool at fault for the lack of communication is this country.  ABC was not about to give me 10 minutes to give the list of all our leaders from coast to coast.

And I know why O’Donnel is taking a silly slap at me and trying to create something that just aint so — it is one of the oldest tricks in cable news.  He knows better.

But (tongue in cheek) if he is somehow confused by who I meant when I said Congress and all the governors, I can help him now.   To get the 400+ names who are in the House, CLICK HERE.  If he needs help identifying the 100 US Senators by name, CLICK HERE.   As for the governors, a good trick is to simply google the name of a state and the word governor.  Yes, it is true I could just have said the President (or the Oval Office) and not specifically said Obama, but there is only one President – unlike ALL the others I likewise called out.  By the way, so far, only O’Donnell is confused about this.

And now?  I have to quit the fun stuff (writing this) and get back to work.  But I admit, this has been a fun distraction.  And no, you should not take this seriously that there is some giant war between Lawrence and me.  There is not.

PS He did not criticize my other comments…should I be worried? :)
