MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell whined to his colleague Rachel Maddow that he is so exhausted from reporting on President Trump that he is taking some time off.
Poor baby.
O’Donnell told Mr Maddow “I know you’ve pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency. I hope you noticed that I did not make that same pledge when you did.”
He added, “This is day 52. I thought it was day 92. It turns out it’s day 52, Rachel, and I’m exhausted at day 52.”
“So I’m going to take next week off. And I’m telling you that now cause I know you don’t like it when I just drift away. I’m just taking next week off, then I can come back, and go with you all the way to the 100 days,” O’Donnell whimpered.
Mr Maddow responded, “You have to take care of yourself, you got to pace yourself” as if O’Donnell was about to run back to back marathons or something.
O’Donnell then had the temerity to claim that ” Donald Trump’s brain is broken, badly damaged, as he exhibits every day.”
Who has the broken brain here?
“Can I go with you?” Maddow added.
An "exhausted" Lawrence O'Donnell tells his colleague Rachel Maddow he's taking a week-long break from covering Trump after 50 days felt like nearly 100.

The world’s smallest violin plays.
I'm sure every one of his 117 viewers are devastated.

Poor fellow. He should take a few years off.

That's the toll mental illness takes on congenital liars.

Spinning truth and making up lies is apparently very exhausting. Take a break—permanently—no one will miss you.

If Maddow also went, no one would notice, given that a quarter of the guy’s audience has disappeared just since the election.
Rachel Maddow's rant at MSNBC bosses appears to have backfired spectacularly as 5M viewers fled the news program in a massive 22% ratings slump.

The @Maddow Show dropped from 2.3M viewers to 1.8M viewers since the election of President Donald Trump…https://t.co/vK4Aic1dHa
Is it any wonder?
