Why didn't Pat cut Lawrence's mic for goodness sake?
They were sitting next to each other and Pat's mic would still pick up the sound. More importantly, Pat probably felt that O'D showing his ass helped the cause.
Pat was absolutely great by not cutting O'Donnell off. Had he done that, the 17 or 18 people in the home viewing audience would have missed a perfect example of the BS that passes as political debate.
Couldn't LO'D wasn't a Guest -- he's a "Senior MSNBC Political Analyst"
