MSNBC Talking Head Overstays Welcome, Grates

This attack on MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell is something I largely agree with, though I found his own recent attacks on Bill O’Reilly rather worthwhile. He’s irritating (I mean, so is basically everyone on TV), and the sounds that come out of his mouth really are dripping with annoyingness! He’s this odd thing, that is very captivating at first, because he’s incredibly well-modulated, and also great with tempo. But then once you’re on to his showman tricks, they wear thin and he becomes profoundly boring. But hey, and I acknowledge that my complaint here is exceedingly minor, but is the New York Observer, of all venues, really going to plead ignorance of Seize sur Vingt, from whence O’Donnell allegedly gets his socks? Girlfriends, there is one in Soho! They opened in NoLIta in 1998! Their “custom-made shirts” aren’t even all that, they’re so-so, and it’s certainly not even that high-end. If you are looking for something for a businessy man-friend, it is not the worst place to drop some money. But yeah: Lawrence O’Donnell, irksome.
