Lawrence O\u2019Donnell, host of MSNBC\u2019s \u201cThe Last Word,\u201d truly insulted me and most of his viewers recently.\u00a0 He asked us to leave to room, go cook something, do the dishes, or take a walk.\u00a0 He wanted a very narrow audience, the twelve new Senators elected on November 6.<\/p>\n

His point was that their political future would best be ensured if they maintained a low profile with the national media and limited their appearances to local media within their state.\u00a0 His reason was that voters in their states want to feel special; that their newly elected senator was exclusively dedicated to the interests of his or her constituents and did not have aspirations to rise into the national spotlight.<\/p>\n

The example that he used was Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, a one-time high-profile comedian.\u00a0 Franken has exclusively appeared on Minnesota outlets, with one exception.\u00a0 That was when he was sandbagged into an interview at the Democratic National Convention by one reporter.\u00a0 The reporter happened to be none other than Lawrence O\u2019Donnell.\u00a0 Franken knew that he was stuck; that he couldn\u2019t just run away from an interview.\u00a0 However he justified his appearance because he was standing in the middle of the Minnesota delegation at the convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
