How does Lawrence O'Donnell have his own show?

Seriously, what network executive said "we have to have this guy on our channel in primetime!"????

He is such a slow talker and a plain boring person.

 

Olbermann was not pleasant to work with and you need a body in that slot.

 

If that is the only requirement ,I wonder why they didn't call me?

 

He blew someone high up the ladder.

Only explanation I can think of.

 

Reliable far left kook who, unlike Olbermann, does not exihibit overt signs of severe mental illness.

He worked in DC for some dems, so in their eyes that's enough.

In fairness, compared to Chris Matthews he comes off as Henry Kissinger.
