Anthony Weiner
Lawrence O'Donnell's interview with Anthony Weiner has been making waves across the nation. The reason why this interview is being talked about is because of how out of the way it was. In other words, the interview had plenty of beside-the-point moments.
The very first question he asked Weiner was what was wrong with him. He asked him how is it that he just cannot think about having a life that does not involve being in office. The mayoral candidate responded and said that there was nothing wrong with him, and that he basically fights for issues that he believes in and that he does it on a daily basis.
The mayoral candidate also went onto say that his interviewer was sounding ridiculous because he was trying to imply that just because he has done a few embarrassing things in his personal life means that he is not fit to be the mayor of NYC.
O'Donnell even told the mayoral candidate that there was something wrong with him, after he told O'Donnell that he disagreed with him after accusing O'Donnell of thinking that public service is not a noble thing.
Basically you could draw two conclusions from this interview. The first thing you can conclude is that O'Donnell's interview was a little off-beat at times. The second thing you can conclude from the short interview is that Weiner acted as if he had nothing more too lose, and he was right because shortly after the interview he found out that he was not going to be mayor of NYC, and announced that his bid for the position was finished.
There were a few more questions that were offbeat, but Weiner ended up getting the last word in. He told O'Donnell that his interview was not good for TV, and told him that he didn't need a psychiatric evaluation.
