At Hot Air, Ed Morrissey published a video of MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell interviewing Peter Schiff (we’ll also publish it here, see below); the man who predicted the current economic crisis and who predicted the government’s ‘solutions’ which, Schiff explained in a book he wrote, would make matters worse.

It’s a fascinating interview for three reasons. Firstly, Schiff predicted the current economic crisis, the reaction of the government and he believes that Obama’s health care plans will be absolutely disastrous for America. This is a man who knows what he’s talking about, he’s credible.

Second, Schiff has announced he will run against Democratic Senator Chris Dodd in 2010.

The third and final reason is that MSNBC’s O’Donnell behaved like President Barack Obama’s attack dog. He didn’t let Schiff finish one single sentence, he kept harassing him and constantly put words into his mouth. Schiff became increasingly frustrated, but there was little he could do. The bully O’Donnell, pretending to be a journalist, refused to give Schiff the time he needed to explain what he would if he were a senator.

Schiff should have walked out on O’Donnell but, being the gentleman he is, he did not give up. He tried to answer O’Donnell’s questions and deal with his ludicrous and mostly rhetorical questions.

And O’Donnell? He looked like a high school bully all too happy with himself.

A pathetic ‘interview’ which had nothing whatsoever to do with journalism.
