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.

You know, I do see your points about not cutting his mic, but... I think after a point, it was obvious Larry was unable to control himself, and Pat, as a co-moderator perhaps could have said, LOOK BE A FRIKKEN PROFESSIONAL and respect our guests... each deserve to be heard. And then if the little *rick continued his tantrum, Pat could've stopped the interview told John O'Neill, hey I'll personally try to get you an uninterrupted hour now. Larry probably would've had a stroke at that point.
