I feel badly for Jim Lehrer tonight.

Uh oh.Romney just fired Jim Lehrer.

It's time for Jim Lehrer to retire form debate moderating. They are walking all over him.

Jim Lehrer, weakly: "Now wait just a second here..." Romney: "Shut up." Lehrer: "...okay. :( "

Jim Lehrer is like the grandpa at dinner table who falls asleep and wakes up randomly shouting. #debates

Jim Lehrer really needs to stop the filibustering. #Current2012

The way Romney cuts off Jim Lehrer, you'd almost maybe get the idea he's an entitled rich guy who gets everything he wants. #debate

— Chris Rock (@chrisrockoz) October 4, 2012

Both candidates debated poorly. Obama is thinking about his anniversary. Romney is nervous near a black man. Jim Lehrer is made out of clay.

Jim Lehrer is THIS CLOSE to making McKayla Face.

Don't worry, Jim Lehrer, it gets better. #stopbullying

Roads are open again, Denver. Motorcades are gone. Jim Lehrer still sitting in the arena waiting for someone to notice he's there.

Somewhere, Bill Clinton is shouting answers to all of Jim Lehrer’s questions at his television

Yes!!!@tompapa: Jim Lehrer is like a substitute teacher who's lost control of the class. #debate”

— Sophia A. Nelson (@SophiaRedefined) October 4, 2012

In closing, I'd like to say that Jim Lehrer resembles the baby dolls my Nana used to make out of pantyhose & stuffing, but less alive.

— Caissie St.Onge (@Caissie) October 4, 2012

"Poor Jim" is trending worldwide. So at least Jim Lehrer has that going for him. #debate2012

@firedbigbird It may have seemed like Mitt won the #debate but I know a couple voters that swung towards Obama twitter.com/anDsheld/statu…

Big Bird lost his job, Oscar was evicted, Bert & Ernie can't wed, Elmo's speech is pre-existing condition & Count was deported #debates

That awkward moment when Mitt Romney runs into Big Bird at the Denver airport.

I want to see Big Bird's long form birth certificate. I have reasons to believe he wasn't actually hatched on Sesame Street...
— Calvin (@aurosan) October 4, 2012

Mitt Romney definitely looked poised and confident. Especially when he looked America in the eyes & threatened to kill Big Bird.
— Benari (@BenariLee) October 4, 2012

In all seriousness, Big Bird got more attention than women did in this debate. COAL got more attention than women did in this debate.

Obama: "I killed Bin Laden!"... Romney: "I'm gonna kill Big Bird!"
