Lawrence O'Donnell refers to himself as a "practical European socialist." See why in this video clip in which he eviscerates his GOP guest. I guess the politician wasn't actually expecting any journalism to take place when he agreed to do the show.
I think O'Donnell was being a total dick to make a very good point about the kind of rhetoric that the GOP is so fond of using when the cameras are well out of sight. It's not exactly "When did you stop beating your wife?" but isn't far off either.
Still, I liked it!
