"Like a bull to a Matador" was a description of how Romney approached the President

[Mira]

Lawrence O'Donnell did a wonderfully thought out Last Word on who really won the debate: "We have no way of knowing, the jury is out, the voting will be in November..."

He quoted a columnist in a Denver Newspaper who had to go with sports analogies, and chose to compare the encounter of the debate as Romney being in the ring "like a bull to a Matador".

Let's not forget, said Lawrence, just what exactly the Matador does to the bull in the end.

I liked that.

1. First thing I thought when he brought up that analogy.

The matador always wins.

2. It's an excellent metaphor.

I don't care much for bullfighting, but in this case I do.

Mira!

3. And the bull produces a lot of

bullshit, which is what romney was putting out last night.

5. That was perfect. And then the screen went straight to black.

O'Donnell was incredible tonight. I was blown away.

6. His analogy was great, and Lawrence

is moving up to number one slot for me of the MSNBC line-up.

7. For me, too. I got a huge kick out of him calling out Tweety and Ed on their debate reactions.

Granted, Lawrence meant every media person reporting on the outcome of a debate, but he sat through those two going ballistic and acting like overly-tired, hungry, two-year-old brats last night. There's no way he wasn't including them in his analysis and conclusion that NOBODY knows who won or lost a debate. NOBODY.

8. I saw his show and all I can say to Lawrence is

[font size="7"]BRAVO!!![/font]

9. Hey Mira... I kept refering to Romney last night as

being hopped up on Red Bull.

[Mira]

12. Honestly -

I thought maybe he was mainlining coffee since he is not allowed to drink it.

13. That's mitt...finding ways around the

rules, tenets, and social decorum. Really.. who lies like that? mitt will go down in history as wiping out Pinnochio as the icon of Liars. Pinnochio was just a little boy and a wooden one at that.

What's mitt's excuse? It plays well in US media land.

11. caught it too

simply marvelous

14. That was the perfect analogy.

I enjoyed Lawrence's post-debate analysis. This is not over by any means. It's just Round One.
