That Time Lawrence Made Rachel Laugh Out Loud
A fan-favorite for MSNBC viewers is the hand-off from Rachel Maddow to Lawrence O'Donnell: their chatting as TRMS ends, and "Last Word" begins. And the network knows it: they've used clips of these to advertise under the heading, "This is why you watch."
Tuesday night Lawrence O'Donnell was ready for Maddow, with an article from The Washington Post about Bill Barr being so upset with Donald Trump's tweets that he might! resign! (And Maddow had a print out of the article she had read already, since obviously a staffer handed it to her during a break.)
Of course the DOJ has denied any such thing and it's all a show to pretend Barr is "independent" of Trump. No one buys that, least of all Maddow and O'Donnell.
LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: Hi, Rachel, I have my reading glasses on because at 9:23 p.m. When I know you were working, The Washington Post delivered a story saying, "William Barr is telling people he's considering quitting", but I know because you and I communicate during your commercial breaks that you're aware of this story.
MADDOW: I just got it.
