"Professor" Lawrence O'Donnell Educates Critics On Debt Ceiling History

By
The host of The Last Word talks about it's partisan/non-partisan past, it's ever-changing length and how there have been plenty of times where it was voted on in the 11th hour.

Also, O'Donnell points out to certain people (like those in this post from C&L who called him a "multimillionaire talking head") that no other than BILL FUCKING CLINTON submitted a debt ceiling bill that included cuts to Medicare and was voted on by a Democratic Congress...and the liberal base of the Democratic Party had nowhere near the reaction they have now, where a story has been floating around that President Obama may be willing to concede some cuts to Medicare is generating calls of betrayal from some liberals. This bit starts in around the 8:08 mark and ends around 10:27.

Of course, I'm sure the response to O'Donnell will be somewhere between "We weren't paying attention back then" and "But, but, Obama said during the campaign..." Whatever. Guys, please: stop being so melodramatic and get your history straight before attacking people on your own fucking side.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
