Let me say right up front that I am not a huge fan of Lawrence O'Donnell. I think he's got all of Keith Olbermann's pomposity but none of Keith's devilish sense of humor or satire. What's more, everything he says be it large or small, seems entirely rehearsed. Maybe Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes rehearse, but what they say flows like water and makes it easier to believe that these are truly their thoughts.
That said, O'Donnell had me cheering like I was in the bleacher seats at Fenway Park last night, as he took advantage of the fact that former congresscritter and NRA shill Asa Hutchison must have thought appearing on "The Last Word" would be an easy ride. Hutchison was wrong -- dead wrong. Watching Hutchison's expression as he realized he was getting dissected like a Science class frog was truly classic, and O'Donnell gets big love from me for taking this chump to the cleaners.

(Sorry, no transcript: MSNBC's site makes it impossible to cut and paste. Just watch it all. It's a takedown of epic proportions, and a truly White Hot Fail for the NRA! Enjoy!)
