Lawrence O’Donnell Goes Over Famous Genius Levi Johnston’s Head

by Jack Stuef  4:55 pm September 29, 2010

Hey now! It’s new MSNBC gotcha journalist Lawrence O’Donnell! He’s got a show on that teevee librul treehouse now. The show features animated clouds floating over the New York City skyline behind O’Donnell’s head, chiefly. But yesterday it also featured Levi Johnston, and Lawrence O’Donnell asked Levi serious foreign policy questions, because Lawrence O’Donnell is hilarious and THE BEST at gotcha-ing.

Har har, Larry is treating Levi like a real politician! But Levi is not running for federal office, he’s “running” for mayor of Wasilla, so he actually has no reason, as a “candidate,” to have positions on any of these issues or read anything other than the local newspaper.

But whatever, HIGH FIVE, Lawrence O’Donnell. Alright, that’s an answer.

And now Lawrence O’Donnell has the phone number for Playgirl so he can see about posing in that thing himself. [Daily Intel]

Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick; Danny Bonaduce wasn't available?

johnnymeatworth September 29, 2010 at 5:24 pm

Or Vanilla Ice?

bumfug September 29, 2010 at 6:35 pm

Vanilla Ice was on Leno this week! And Jay is puzzled about why he's in third place?

ttommyunger October 27, 2010 at 8:02 pm

Or Dick Clark, wait; he's dead, or not, who can tell?

Tommmcatt September 29, 2010 at 5:03 pm

Levi Johnson is a freaking commie! Moratorium on foreclosures INDEED!

zhubajie September 29, 2010 at 7:46 pm

Hey, that's how James Traficant began his political career! Next, urge the Mafia to do a lot of business in Wasilla. Then run for Congress. Once in the madhouse, you'll never have to leave till you get caught being too outrageously corrupt and perverted! It takes at least 20 years, usually.

I wish I could make money by knocking up teenagers.

FlownOver September 29, 2010 at 5:06 pm

Or by getting knocked up by a teenager.

jus_wonderin September 29, 2010 at 5:16 pm

Is selling the video to the highest bidder out of the question??

die_yuppie_scum September 29, 2010 at 7:29 pm

When I was a teenager, I got knocked up by an older man—the host at a Cotswolds B&B. He didn't charge a fee for the knocking-up but he did get a few pounds off me.

chascates September 29, 2010 at 5:05 pm

I just read today that Levi will appear in ads for the California Pistachio growers.

Sometimes, you feel like a nut.

Moleman_v3 September 29, 2010 at 6:07 pm

Hi, this is Levi for California Pistachios. Remember folks:

Some times you have to bust a nut to get that green!

zhubajie September 29, 2010 at 7:47 pm

Main competition: Iran!

Radiotherapy September 29, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Well, at least the ghey vote is a lock.

elviouslyqueer September 29, 2010 at 5:28 pm

Only if he promises to keep his shirt off and his mouth shut. Well, most of the time.

Lud September 29, 2010 at 5:10 pm

Jesus Christ O'Donnell, next time ask the boy something he can answer – like if the Palin girls spit or swallow.

Shout glory!
Praise Republican family values!

SecretMuslin September 29, 2010 at 5:12 pm

tu;cw (too uncomfortable, couldn't watch)

johnnyzhivago September 29, 2010 at 5:15 pm

Is Lawrence related to Christine?

Zvi_Bleindmeis September 29, 2010 at 5:16 pm

Take it easy on old Lawrence, y'all. At least this is an O'Donnell who masturbates.

Lawrence O'Donnell masturbates A LOT.

HOFAH September 29, 2010 at 5:16 pm

Well to be fair, anything other than what his name is and where he lives is over Levi's head.

rocktonsam September 29, 2010 at 5:17 pm

not sure if the Palin girls can spit or swallow, since they never STFU!

JoeMamased September 29, 2010 at 5:24 pm

"I don't believe in abstinence."

Of course not; that's the reason why you're on the teeve.

natoslug September 29, 2010 at 5:32 pm

Yeah, it was the rest of the quote that made it solid gold:
"How do you feel about the morning after pill?"
"That's the girl's decision . . . same as abstinence. I don't believe in abstinence, um, I feel if you're having um unprotected sex, you get the girl pregnant, you should have the baby."
Words with too many syllables are confusing. I'm always mixing up abortion and abstinence as well, which is why it's probably good that I'm not a doctor.

bumfug September 29, 2010 at 6:38 pm

I'm sure the girl agrees that if you get her pregnant YOU should have the baby.

weejee September 29, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Is there anything between those ears but cobwebs?

marionetta September 29, 2010 at 5:43 pm

Lot smarter than the ex governor, ex future mother in law, disgruntled taxpayer when he's the new mayor of Wasilla, $i$ta $arah.

NorthStarSpanx September 30, 2010 at 11:10 am

On Sarah's hilariously juvenile manifesto (that is easily mistaken as one of her doodlings in her High School journal) in hatching her Mayoral campaign, one of her bullet points of standing was that she was a "Tax Payer."

She doesn't pay taxes on her other two other properties in the woods, but struggling for some credibility as an adult in the Valley, taxpayer won a notation in her bid to rule the world.

GOPCrusher September 29, 2010 at 5:28 pm

The Morning After Pill? Are these really issues that define who should be Mayor of Wasilla?

An_Outhouse September 29, 2010 at 5:32 pm

Frontiersman? Is that like Playgirl or something?

natoslug September 29, 2010 at 5:35 pm

Yep, the centerfold is a sheep, in stockings.

SexySmurf September 29, 2010 at 5:33 pm

At least he didn't show his penis. And by "he" I mean Lawrence O'Donnell.

EdFlintstone September 29, 2010 at 5:36 pm

Man Sarah did wonders with that Wasilla school system.

Progressiveinga September 29, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Is it just me or is there something imminently likable about LeJo? OK I'll say it. I'd hit it.

nounverb911 September 29, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Levi looked like a deer in the headlights waiting for his ex-almost mother in law to shoot him from a helicopter.

Limeylizzie September 29, 2010 at 6:00 pm

i know he is very young, but Jesus Christ , stupid men are so unattractive .

jus_wonderin September 29, 2010 at 6:18 pm

For some reason youth excuses quite a lot. AND IT'S NOT F'N' FAIR!!!!!!!!!

Lascauxcaveman September 30, 2010 at 1:15 am

Teh gheys love him. But not for his mind, I don't think.

JustPixelz September 29, 2010 at 6:32 pm

"global warming is not man made"

Fuck all, Alaska is melting — towns are falling of the frozen tundra mud flats into the ocean. HOLY SHIT! I just took seriously something Levi Johnston said. HEY YOU IN THE HELICOPTER! SHOOT ME NOW!

DemonicRage September 30, 2010 at 8:30 pm

From where he lives, don't they see polar bears floating on little ice islands that used to be part of the tundra further north?

imissopus September 29, 2010 at 6:36 pm

Of course he thinks the kid is the best thing to happen to him…baby diapers make a great hiding place for meth.

SarcasticNymph September 29, 2010 at 7:08 pm

Seemed like a relatively ernest, if uninformed, young man. When he said he didn't read the New York Times, he didn't spit out New York Times with snide condescension the way Sarah would. He seemed to tacitly acknowlege he would be better off if he read more, but owned up to the fact that he didn't. He didn't revel in his lack of knowledge.

bagofmice September 29, 2010 at 7:37 pm

That and he answered the "all of them" gotcha question well.

DemonicRage September 30, 2010 at 8:32 pm

Doesn't Sarah have a catch-phrase whereby she puts down most news outlets, like the "lamestream media?"

zhubajie September 29, 2010 at 7:50 pm

Who's the competition? I would think being a small town mayor is a punishment.

kvetch September 29, 2010 at 8:03 pm

Where is the true Messiah, Buddy Cianci, when we need him? Come back, O Patron of Providence and lead this nation of sheeple out of the wilderness. Marinara sauce for everyone!!!!!

Thedongsofwar September 29, 2010 at 9:56 pm

How do you feel about the morning after pill?

"I'm so glad we didn't have one. My whole career is based around this"

Umbrageofsnow September 30, 2010 at 12:03 am

Wasn't the whole point of this that O'Donnell asked the same questions Katie Couric asked Palin, and that Levi came across as less of a dumbass than Momma Grizzly?

I know it's setting the bar awful low, but it is only for Mayor of Wasilla.

NorthStarSpanx September 30, 2010 at 11:15 am

And yet it was a tougher interview than Sarah Palin ever faced or will face as the Antichrist.

Is Lawrence proud he made a little boy cry?

LionelHutzEsq September 30, 2010 at 1:40 am

But Levi is not running for federal office, he’s “running” for mayor of Wasilla, so he actually has no reason, as a “candidate,” to have positions on any of these issues or read anything other than the local newspaper.

Please, mayor of Wasilla is a critical stepping stone to the Presidency. That and saying "You betcha" a lot puts you at the intellectual high point of the tea party.

aisai September 30, 2010 at 1:58 am

Well, he only provided simple yes or no answers to questions, never going into any substantive detail about his beliefs, but at least he could reply in a voice that doesn't sound like 10,000 cats drowning in an acid bath…unlike a certain matriarch in law.

Slapwow September 30, 2010 at 2:22 am

Is there a Cable Ace Award for keeping a completely straight face while relentlessly making fun of a shit-for-brains snowbilly? 'Cause Lawrence should just win it right now, no contest…

celeryflesh September 30, 2010 at 6:33 am

I think The Dude did great. Clearly he answered the questions way better than Palin did. I feel sorry for you who failed to see the fineness of this interview.

DaSandman September 30, 2010 at 9:29 am

So some people aren't policy wonks. Levi's forte is slinging dick. It's Alaska for Christsake. There's nothing else to do up there but interbreed, smoke meth and steal from the government.

Umbrageofsnow September 30, 2010 at 11:39 am

It's like the rest of Real Amurika but with more government money.

Gopherit September 30, 2010 at 12:32 pm

Way to go Lawrence. Way to outstupid one of the most insipid retards in our enlightened age.

thx11380 September 30, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Levi should of asked Lawrence how that whole prediction of his that "healhcare reform in any form regardless of what revisions are done will NEVER get passed" has worked out for him!

BombyMcGee September 30, 2010 at 2:49 pm

Shouldn't this headline read,

"Sad Lawrence O'Donnell makes pathetic attempt to attract stupid viewers to his lame show"?

JooJoo Bee September 30, 2010 at 2:56 pm

What's in it for MSNBC to send O'Donnell out to praise this dumb jock's ignorance? Did they learn nothing from their coverage of stupid pet stunts?
