THE LAST WORD, Lawrence O'Donnell, February 20, 2012 -- Lawrence noted that most news media outlets covered the Whitney Houston story as a cautionary tale about the danger of drugs. "I was in no mood for that," he said. "I wanted a wake, not a lecture."
He recalls a wake for a good friend, an alcoholic, who drank himself to death. At the wake, some people talked about his bad attitude, his tragic end. But when Lawerence and his friends got together, they only talked about how smart and funny he was, what a good guy. "We didn't talk about the other stuff."
