Maher thinks that Bush SHOULD NOT meet with Cindy Sheehan.

[Mika]

He's got to stay focused on his job (like Rudy Giuliani), according to Bill.

:puke:

[tmooses]

1. And isn't his job to listen to the American people?

n/t

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Um, Bill? Bush is on VACATION.

[lala_rawraw]

3. but maybe the hooker on his show should meet with chimp n/t

[Mika]

6. Not enough eye shadow, or maybe its the lighting. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. That show SUCKED!

Now I remember why I rarely watch him. Damn. That was one of the worse shows I've seen in a long time.:(

[BattyDem]

9. I agree. Who the f*ck invited Chris Rock?

:grr:

Yes, he did nail blondie with a couple of good one-liners, but otherwise, he was useless. I felt like I was watching "Meet the Neo-Cons" and Bill was completely on his own!

I should have turned it off after Paul Hackett.

On edit: Someone else just posted that Rock also pointed out how it's the minorities who fight the wars. So maybe he wasn't totally useless ... my bad. But it would have been nice if our side had some better representation tonight.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. I thought Chris Rock was hilarious

and you know what? He was right - it really is all about the price of gas.

[BattyDem]

28. The gas thing was funny the first 20 times he said it ...

after that, I was ready to kill him! Maybe I'm just in a mood. :shrug:

On edit: I wish the comedians would do a little homework before coming on the show and direct their jokes toward the topic at hand instead of sticking with a bit. Rock was not prepared for a real political discussion and it's a shame, because if he was, he REALLY could have done some damage!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. He was right! I just mentioned this on a different thread. Poor

people who are making minimum wage are paying about 3/5 of their income for gas. Imagine having to drive your car to that job? This really is a crisis.

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. I couldn't agree with you more

Chris Rock made more sense than anyone else on that show.

[Warren Stupidity]

68. Absolutely and....

where is the Democratic Party - the party of working families - on this issue? Hello?

[lala_rawraw]

19. Thank god for Chris Rock, who somehow managed to be

Both the only minority as a black person and the only minority who thought that most people could not afford extended vacations. How he sat there with Asa and Hooker and on top of that that old psycho and did not take his mug and smack them all up and down the show is beyond me...he held it together... the show sucked because Maher invited on shills, hookers, and criminals. Simple.

[lala_rawraw]

25. anyone catch stepford shill's name? the blonde one with fake

boobs?

[CrispyQ]

34. Kellyanne Conway,

President & CEO of 'the polling company'


http://www.pollingcompany.com/biography.asp?FormMode=Show&ID=1



I didn't like her, but at least she wasn't quite as vile as Coulter.

[AntiCoup2K4]

67. Alan Colmes' wife, believe it or not.

three guesses who "wears the pants" in that household.

[Warren Stupidity]

69. You have got to be kidding me.

That is hilarious.

[JI7]

72. not true, Colmes' wife is named Jocelyn

but she is the sister of that Republican Monica Crowley from msnbc.

i think she is a professor at Rutgers. i don't know if she is liberal or conservative though.

[lala_rawraw]

73. Say what? You are kidding, right?

[Serial Mom]

74. not a vile as anne the man? i thought she was a twin!

Maybe not vile, but she was bigoted, condescending, smug, snotty, on-message with KKKarl's scripts, and KISS the FLAG???

:wtf:

[Warren Stupidity]

5. Yeah but he's coming along

He said that he supported the war (last season) but has given up on it 'cause it ain't working. Good for him. And Hacket Rocks.

And Rock had just one message: fucking gas is too high!

[Mika]

11. Rock noted that war supporters use poor (minorities) to fight their wars.

He put that hooker down with that one. :thumbsup:

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Good, I'm glad to hear that

Maybe Clark got to him. :) I'll probably just watch now for Hackett. I really enjoyed his "I'm Swiss" special though.

[tulsakatz]

57. Maher

Maher used to support the war. In previous seasons, he always said he didn't agree with the war in the beginning and he didn't like the way they lied to get us there but he also pointed to some positive things about the war.

I never agreed with that opinion and many liberals who came on his show also did not agree.

I'm glad to hear he's starting to re-think that position.

[NervousRex]

7. Maher is a 100% advocate for...

Maher...'nuff said.

[Redneck Socialist]

8. I agree

He shouldn't meet with Sheehan. The longer he ignores her, the more press she gets and the worse he looks. If he does meet with her he looks like he caved and the freeptards will go nuts.

Either way we win.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. We already won this one

I was there in Crawford this week. The spirit and enthusiasm of those people is absolutely amazing.

We (and especially Cindy) have won this battle.

[GoldenOldie]

10. I still haven't figured out just what his job is?

He vowed to unite the People.....he vowed to bring back integrity and openness to the WhiteHouse, etc., etc., etc., etc.

He did not keep his commitment and Oath to TANG during Viet Nam and he has certainly not kept his Oath as POTUS nor the promises he made to the voters.

Georgie's only job has been to play the puppet for those Puppet Masters such as Cheney and the corporate War Profiteers. Georgie is incapable of leading anything not even his little photo-op Scottie which he continually drops on his head.

[marbuc]

12. Under normal circumstances this may be true

but Bush doesn't work; he is the ceremonial president. Everyone knows Cheney et al handle the real work.

[Parrothead Terp]

13. yeesh

so he does not agree with everything you agree with, so he must suck. did you watch that special a couple weeks ago, "I'm Swiss"? I wish every american could of watched it, while it was a comedy special he brought every hypocritical thing this administration has done.

Also, what's great about this sheehan thing is Bush can't meet with her, Maher is right. If he meets with her, what can he tell her? NOTHING! He is not going to admit what we know, he would continue the blowhard crap and the media would say, see the compassionate president met with the greaving mother.

[Mika]

18. Please point out where I said that "he must suck".

I'm just sayin'.. (see first post).

[Parrothead Terp]

24. sorry

was not meant as a reply to what you said. it was to the other attacks coming after your post. just a general thought type thing :)

[FreedomAngel82]

26. I did see "I'm Swiss" and really liked it

I saw it really early in the morning though and wasn't able to stay awake for the ending. I'll have to catch it again. I also bought his book "New Rules" and am looking forward to it. Sometimes the show is good and other times it's eh. But I like how he gives everybody a chance to talk and debate with. Not like the rightwing shows. But he's pretty fair and balanced.

[tulsakatz]

59. fair and balanced

that's true, he is. Even if he doesn't agree with the people on the show, he still allows them to make their point.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

14. Idiot Son said his "most important job is hugging the moms"

Maher likes to suck up to the rePUKES.

[Lindacooks]

46. You should mail that quote to Maher. He needs to learn about it.

[Al-CIAda]

16. She unfortunately was not there to redirect.

She would no doubt ask her 'what noble cause' question, and list the administration's lies. No one seemed abreast of details, so it was left hanging.
I have little doubt she could have made a case to sway him.

I think he knows it was't a good show -not any fault of his IMO.
Chris Rock was disappointing. The RW Coulter knock-off was a lie machine.

[me b zola]

50. I haven't seen him since he was on network television

But I always got the impression that a good argument could & would sway him. That is what I like the most about him. He is open to information & good debate. I don't see that in any other television personality.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. He was being a smart ass

You know, like he usually is?

[lala_rawraw]

23. Who Rock? Good!! Because the others were playing

Musical shills.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. No I meant Bill

but Chris Rock was a great smart ass too.

[LisaL]

38. Yea, it could have been one of his stupid jokes, considering

Bush is on vacation. What job would he focus on? Well, if it was a joke, looks like it's gone over people's heads.

[NVMojo]

53. I agree, I took it as a smart ass sarcastic remark ...I liked it that way.

[LaPera]

21. Bill mostly stood his ground, Chris Rock was not prepared for real

political debate...Kellyanne (repug pollster) was trying desperately to be cute and win over the crowd, (man, has cutie-pie aged in two years, she'll look like Philis Scafaly in two more) and Maher let her go on far too long without jumping in because he had no one there to help out...he was on his own...

But I was really shocked that Maher really had no support from Rock...who must be enjoying his wealth...Rock used to be so well informed!!! I recall how astute & aware another black comedian D.L Hughley, who was on Maher's show twice last year and Hughley had his shit down, man...He knew the issues of the day and wouldn't take any shit...very feeble performance by Rock, certainly not because he's black, but because he was NOT up on the issues!!!

The republican man idiot made no impact what so ever, either way...Maher had to carry the whole liberal load himself...and he made the points well when he talked about a one party system in power..."Where in the fuck is the opposition"?(Meaning of course), the Democrat's!

[BattyDem]

31. That's exactly how I feel about tonight's show

Thanks for saying it so well. :hi:

[Al-CIAda]

35. "carried the load" -hell, he carried the whole show.

Outside Hacket, who was v. good, Bill was completely on his own. He knows his panel was weak. When he got to the new rules, he said 'yes finally, we made it'.

[LaPera]

43. Thanks, yeah...Bill was alright...more informed than in past years..

He did his best while still trying to be somewhat fair (hehehe) to the republicans in the audience and the clowns on the panel...

The DEM from Ohio, Hackett, surprised the shit out of this here CA boy...He's not afraid of shit, spoke his mind and has a great sense of humor...He'll get elected somewhere...

[Zinfandel]

39. Good on you bro -- that's exactly how I saw it too!

[fooj]

47. I thought he was awesome, too!

Finally! Someone with the courage to tell it like it is! How refreshing!!!

Peace.

[LaPera]

49. Can't wait for next weeks show!!!!

Think Maher will ever have Jon Stewart on? Or would ego's conflict?

[Zinfandel]

54. Kick! Maher, surprisingly had the capacity to carry it all on his own.

Who would have guessed?

Not one of Maher's great shows by any means, but it held up interestingly and kept the interest, simply because of Maher.

West Coast check in -- with your thoughts.....

When I heard Maher's monologue, I thought the show was going to die... but, Maher, stayed with it and somehow pulled it off!

Check out the reruns on HBO all week long and judge it for yourself.

[tsuki]

22. I liked Maher when the blonde tried to put it over on him about

Iraqi women and hoping that the dems would not raise money from the death of that poor boy (Casey.) Like the Conservatives don't use 911?

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Really

All one has to do is watch last year's RNC. It was so pathetic.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

33. His response to her about 911 was the best he had all night.

And boy was she ignorant when it came to the women in Iraq. She was mixing them up with the women of Afghanistan.

[tsuki]

36. The right to bear arms.

:rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

40. That was clever, and then he correlated to the women in Iraq. :)

[fooj]

48. I didn't like the way that Peroxide Patty suggested that the

Democratic Senators weren't down in Crawford and how she thought that was "rather telling"!!! Ugh! That pissed me off! BTW- come to think of it...why haven't we heard from our Senators re: Camp Casey? One would think that at the very least a phone call is in order. What do you think?

Peace.

[tsuki]

71. They need to stay away. This is not politics, this is one mother wanting

the truth from that lying Administration.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

75. I have mixed feelings about Democratic Senators going down there.

The Coulter Doppleganger asked why they weren't there, and yet she would be the first to say, if they did go to Camp Casey, that they were politicizing this. And I don't want this politicized in the least. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

In my eyes, this is not a partisan issue, it is an issue of the Truth, and there were plenty on our side of the aisle and still are that seem to be making a conscious effort of not letting the Truth Will Out.

Then, on the other hand, I would love to see someone like my adored Barbara Boxer come for a visit, as she was outspoken and knew that it was a war based on lies from the get go.


:hi:

[fooj]

77. Verbal support would be nice.

Peace.:hi:

[bookman]

41. Gee, a Republican who...

..mixes up Iraq and Afghanistan? Go figure.

:)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

76. hehehehehehehehehe! :) n/t

[LisaL]

37. Maher must have meant "Bush got to stay focused on his

vacation"?

[Blue_Roses]

42. oh come on

don't you know :sarcasm: when you see it?

[fooj]

45. Did anyone hear Asa Hutchinson refer to "clean skin"?

That just about blew me the hell out of my chair. "Clean skin"??? WTF? "Clean skin" as opposed to...what? Dirty skin? OMG! I couldn't believe that he said that.


Peace.

[SimpleMan]

51. I couldn't believe...

that Chris Rock didn't pick up on that.

[fooj]

52. I can't believe that he said that!

That needs to be on the campaign commercial for the candidate that runs against that asshole for the Gov. of Arkansas.

Peace.

[loudsue]

55. Beebe, the guy that's running against Asa for Gov. of Arkansas,

is pretty popular around there. He's polling a lot better than Asa, but, of course, the repukes own the machines....so anything could happen. They still owe Asa, big time, for all his tricks on their behalf. But, Beebe, his opponent, is much more well-liked on a personal basis, by the locals. Asa just has the neocon money behind him.

Edited to add: Beebe is running against Asa in the primaries...

:kick:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

58. I thought that is what I heard and I thought there must have been

something wrong with my hearing. This is outrageous.

[LaPera]

56. But-that was not what Maher's show was about, or happened to evolved into

read some of the posts from above, many saw more than that... to get the full and complete flavor...

[Check12]

60. Did you see them squirm when taitorgate was brought up!

Total silence from the chatty barbie doll, she is so opinionayed about every fucking thing else. Then when forced to say something, it was to say well it's a hard crime to prove!

I wishh Mahrer would have gone after them more on that one.
I loved the "what ass did you pull that one out of line.

[LaPera]

61. Yeah, I know what you mean, Maher set it up...but let it slip away...

Not much support though, from the part of the panel, when he needed it most and definitely expected it.....

Oh well, he carried it though!

[Check12]

62. I think that the Koolaid drinkers are scared to death of

Kark Rove. They know that one word from turblossom and they get flushed down the toilet! Think about how much power that dickhead has, I sure hope he serves time!

[LaPera]

63. They don't blink...Why should they...They know the can't be touched...

But, they are slowly sliding....and they don't even realize it...We will move on...cuz we have to and it'ss right...

[LaPera]

64. Self deleted & Self destructed!

[Seabiscuit]

65. Lockjaw couldn't cure Maher's diseased brain

But it would be a vast improvement

[AtomicKitten]

66. I like Bill Maher, but don't forget

he's a libertarian, and they have a distinct ideology. Someone told me that they are like Republicans that smoke pot, but he has come back really po'd at BushCo. I kinda let some of his stuff slide since he does such a great job slamming and making fun of Bush most of the time.

[theHandpuppet]

70. Only sports figures get to meet with Bush

Lance, Little Leaguers, field hockey teams, football players, baseball players et al.

Servicemen and women and their families need not apply.
