tonight on Real Time with Bill Maher

[Bill McBlueState]

On the panel we have

Club for Growth president Steve Moore
actor Martin Short
talk show host Tavis Smiley

and on satellite

Senator Barbara Boxer
commentator Bob Costas

--

Sounds good -- Bob Costas often has interesting things to say, and I'm sure Steve Moore is a major league asshole.

What can you tell me about Tavis Smiley?

1. Tavis is cool

he's does a talk show here in detroit right after NPR at 9am, he was a questioner during one of the 2000 debates

and a TERRIFFIC moderator. I listen to his NPR show most nights.

11. Sen Boxer on now

[K8-EEE]

12. Steve Moore, SUPERGEEK!

OMG that Steve Moore guy is hilarious, if he's the one I'm thinking of. I remember him being on Real Time last season, he was behind the attack ads on "traitor" GOPs who voted against Bush, like Olympia Snowe -- they did these cornball ads with the French Flag in back of the congresspeople they didn't like, the audience was howling. HE IS CLASSIC REVENGE OF THE NERDS!! WHAT A GEEK!!

[Cush]

13. Bill Maher: Karl Rove? Not a genius!

[Zinfandel]

17. Is Bill Maher trying to pull in the republicans audience or is this really

who he is...not very informed, takes the headlines and spins, but no depth, probably spends more time partying (nothing wrong with that) but when he pontificates...it drives me crazy...Independent? An easy out, not to commit to either the Democratic or Republican ideologies for the audience and the press. More and more I wonder if he sees a golden right wing money paved road found by Dennis Miller.

I liked him better when he didn't come off as a "moderate" with all the answers...playing both sides of the fence...he's nowhere near aware what complete lying, greedy shameless pigs the Republicans are...

Maher believes it's just politics and doesn't see past the TV news media.

I find I like him less and less playing the audience and trying to pull in the republicans, fuck he's not playing devils advocate anymore he playing tit for tat.

14. This Club for Growth guy..

is coming off like a total idiot/wimp :):)

Tavis Smiley and Martin Short are great.

[Cush]

15. Tavis is kicking ass

[Dying Eagle]

18. I love that show

Its nice to have a liberal on TV. I know Bill is a little goofy but he sure as hell knows how to the the point across. We should feel fortunate to have this show on TV.
