In Taiwan, Cartoonists Animate the Debate

Most analysts in the United States seem content with reporting that Romney "won" the first presidential debate. The Taiwanese version Benny Johnson shares contains bilingual captions explaining what was actually said, and illustrates them in classic cartoon style.

I don't have time to watch the video, and I don't know that I want to. Comparing Romney to a professional boxer who (most unprofessionally) beats up a beanie-propeller-twirling nerd is sort of funny, but did anything said in the debate really make that tactless comment on Jim Lehrer's age necessary?
