Lawrence O'Donnell is shredding Romney in his "Rewrite" segment.

[Brigid]

It's about Romney and his Viet Nam service -- or lack thereof, while Muhammed Ali risked prison and the loss of his boxing career for refusing to go.

2. When I heard the "tease" for that segment I was outraged

I wrote this thread in 2008 and it was one that I truly loved writing and sharing. So when I heard that line, I felt outraged that someone would purloin my piece on Obama and Ali and stick in some sort of comparison of Romney to Ali.

Turns out the piece was nothing like my thread. It simply pointed out that the draft deferment for the Vietnam War was something Romney applied for and received; Ali applied and was turned down. Both asserted their religions.

And that is the only thing Romney has in common with Ali!

Enough of the B.S. tonight. On to The West Wing.
