Executive summary: MSNBC political analyst O'Donnell has flitted between Hollywood and Washington, and seems to have established that as his "niche". He is the former senior advisor to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (1989-92). On The McLaughlin Group (1 July 2005), with surprising candor he outed Karl Rove as the source for the Valerie Plame leak being investigated by a Federal Grand Jury:
What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's e-mails, within Time Magazine, are handed over to the grand jury, the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.
And I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source of... for Matt Cooper was Karl Rove, and that will be revealed in this document dump that Time magazine's going to do with the grand jury.
His book Deadly Force became the made-for-TV movie A Case of Deadly Force (1986) starring Richard Crenna. He wrote several episodes of The West Wing and was the creator and executive producer of the short-lived NBC drama, Mister Sterling (2003) As an actor, he is currently a semi-regular on HBO's Big Love with Bill Paxton and a frequent guest host on Al Franken's radio show.
