I shouldn’t take such pleasure at Martin O’Malley’s repeated and pointless pleas for attention last night, but the guy is just such a condescending oaf. All the guy wanted to do was to get in sick burns like “Republicans don’t believe in science” and “all Republicans hate puppies,” and mean old Lester Holt wouldn’t let him.

Like so many other ham sandwiches on white bread who fell backwards into power on the strength of his executive hair, O’Malley doesn’t know how to accept that he’s reached his ceiling, and so he’s taking his pitiful anger out on Republicans, rather than his own party who has rejected him.

Anyway, the funniest thing about this clip is that he didn’t get the 10 seconds he begged for. In fact, they didn’t even bother to put him on screen while he was begging.
