Lawrence O'Donnell, as is the norm, has his typically riveting and intelligent program tonight.
In watching the very informative discussion between Lawrence and Robert Reich and Howard Fineman, I was struck by something....in the midst of these highly intelligent and ethical men, correctly lamenting the illogic, insanity, and fundamental deceptions of rightwing economic cant, it was not mentioned that the principle reason why illogical, insane, and untrue policies have a constituency in the USA, is that Low-Brow, Rightwing, Talk Radio has its finger on the scale.
And if Trent Lott could see this 5 years ago, we should see it now and recognize it for the ubiquitous and profoundly destructive influence it has on driving the USA to ruin, as it is the primary force behind building a constituency for insane and evil policies, even as intelligent and good people in the USA underestimate the weight of its finger on the scale.
