Guy Quote by Lawrence O'Donnell
“I was looking at the Trump hits on me, I have to confess, all of which made me laugh. And I thought, you know, he never goes after guys' looks. He only does the looks thing with women. And then I found this one. "Lawrence will soon be off TV, bad ratings, he has a face made for radio." So, he has gone after, at least one guy, on looks.”
