Lawrence O'Donnell hates Scott Bessent as much as I do.

[yellow dahlia]

He is reviewing Bessent's testimony today at the Senate, and yesterday at the House of Representatives.

He applied his quintessential Lawrence O'Donnell indignation when describing Bessent as condescending...and a liar.

And Lawrence used one of the words I always use when referring to Bessent - creepy.

He pointed out that the Cabinet Secretaries from this regime are disrespectful when they appear before Congress. A posture never taken before by the members of previous administrations. He called them Trump's quislings. They are insulting to the Congress Critters. And they lie!

1. It was an excellent rant.

2. Lawrence has perfected the rant - often delivered with indignation.

7. Lawrence knows his stuff, and he has a no nonsense style,.

13. Yep--he's A-1 at that rant/troll each night.

Better than Olberman ever was (and I loved Olberman in the day)

[Permanut]

3. A condescendig, creep liar..

[yellow dahlia]

6. Smarmy - absolutely!

8. Bessemt is an asshole

[yellow dahlia]

9. It fits him like an expensive suit.

10. Bastard bessent really hesitated to say where the $10 billion would come from (trump's IRS lawsuit)

[yellow dahlia]

11. When he stimbles through his answer I think it's a tell -

Don't ask me where we're stealing the money from.

[Mblaze]

12. Bessent had a list of gotchas for each Democratic questioner

Like Bondi did. Instead of a direct answer, he would scan his list and pick a "zinger".
