Why did Lawrence O'Donnell allow Nicole Wallace to spin and spin?

[grasswire]

He was extremely easy on her. Just let her spin away, and treated her with kid gloves, not challenging her on any points.

Come on, Lawrence.

1. Because dems feel COMPELLED to "be fair"

:grr:

[ixion]

4. Allowing someone to lie isn't being fair, it's being

duplicitous. Just sayin'...

[SoCalDem]

5. Apparently they all (except for Keith) feel the need to spar with

righties..:shrug:

It's just plain stupid, because wasting valuable time is not something we can afford:(

2. He wanted to see her dig her own grave

She didn't - which sucks

[Larkspur]

3. Because he'd rather bash Glen Greenwald

I've taped Lawrence's shows, but haven't watched him much. He was OK as a fill-in host, but I'm not interested in him as a full-tim host of his own show. I find his deadpan performance boring after about 10 minutes. I feel like he's lecturing me instead of talking to me like Ed, Keith and Rachel do.

6. Years ago he had a daytime show with Begala (I think)

It was boring...

7. She was lying her ass off...

Regarding the WMD claim....it was hard to watch and on top of that Lawrence just let her talk and talk.

8. He has never said when he would get the last word in.
