One of the great mysteries of the early 21 st Century is Lawrence O’Donnell; that is not quite true. Mr. O’Donnell is a MSNBC host. He is no mystery at all. He is the living embodiment of REV. WILLIAM COLLINS from Jane Austen’s  novel PRIDE AND  PREJUDICE; like REV. COLLINS, O’Donnell is UNCTUOUS,-  sycophantic ,  ingratiating ,  fawning ,  servile ,  grovelling,  cajoling, crawling,  cringing , Uriah Heepish,  toadying,  hypocritical ,  insincere ,  flattering ,  adulatory ,     gushing ,  effusive ,  suave ,  urbane ,  glib ,  smooth , smooth-tongued, smooth-spoken,  smooth-talking ,  slick ,  slippery ,  saccharine ;  oily ,  oleaginous ,  greasy ; cloying,  nauseating ,  sickening and pompous. Then again REV. COLLINS is perhaps off the mark for O’Donnell; he is URIAH HEEPISH. URIAH HEEP is a character in Charles Dickens’ novel, DAVID COPPEFIELD. He is noted for being the epitome of obsequiousness, and insincerity. The character has become synonymous with sycophancy.
