When the subject of Rove's treason came up on Bill Maher's show,
did anybody notice the way Asa Hutchinson and what's-her-face squirmed? Man, they couldn't say "Bill, you're no traitor" fast enough. Assholes.

:puke:

2. When he pointed out that Schlafly's son is gay, did you see her squirm?
That was a priceless moment.

5. Squirm? I thought she'd leap through the screen and throttle
Bill barehanded if it were possible.

Venomous was the way I'd describe her reaction.

14. It would have been great if he would have asked if he was born that
way or it was a lifestyle "choice".

AND Kellyanne thinks women in Iraq where wearing burkas (sp?) before we invaded and went off about Kerry wanting the troops in Iraq naked and he didn't want to give them armour.

What a f@#king dumbass liar. Let's see, he wanted to pay for it instead of putting it on our kids credit cards.

She was the epitome of a Repub liar.

15. That's for sure.
He was right on, wasn't he? But I really loved it when Schafly (spelling?) looked like she was going to shoot the first thing in sight.

And how about those books that it's being said * is reading on vaca? The History of Salt????? (snicker, snort). I'm not sure whether to believe that or not!!

18. Did you see the list of books he's supposedly reading?
A self admitted non-reader is reading the History of Alexander II. Gimme a fucking break :eyes:

4. Both his and the hookers.
Notice how they kept talking about Bill? Then they tried to play it off. The whole thing is bullshit. I do believe the hooker resorted to a Clinton comment just like they always do when faced with the blatant incompetence of the administration.

7. yes, and did you hear how she tried to bring the
"intern" into the conversation. I can't stand that woman--Kellyanne Conway. I've seen her on numerous talkshows and she just memorizes the talking points. She makes me sick.

And back to the original question: they went blank and tried to change the subject.

21. Kelleyanne was mentioned in the book Blinded by
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 12:35 AM by lyonn
the Right by David Brock. As I recall she was married to a Republican operative, I say operative because he was of some consequence to the repub dirty dealing during Clinton's presidency. She was constantly on the talking head shows during Clinton's era and then she disappeared. I had thought this book might of had something to do with her going missing in action all of a sudden.

Edit: George T. Conway III was an atty. with the NY lawfirm Wachtel, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. He later volunteered to work pro bono, for Gil Davis & Joe cammarata who were handling the Paula Jones case, while working for the Wachtel firm.

10. I think Bill brings on the Conservatives
just so they can make fools of themselves and we'll all see how stupid they are (as if we didn't know already).

11. TThey kept trying to not answer the question and repeat over and
in great detail why they thought Maher didn't commit 'treason' with his comment. AS IF THAT WAS THE FRIGGIN QUESTION. 3 times he had to attempt a redirect to ROVE.

16. Oh, but on Bill Maher's show
it's all about Bill Maher. I happen to like his positions on most issues, and enjoy his show, but make no mistake, he is a self important egomaniac that loves to hear himself talk.

Edited on Fri Aug-19-05 11:43 PM by Al-CIAda
it was HE who kept bringing it back to Rove as the R's kept wanting to NOT talk about outing CIA agents.

20. I'm not going to knock Bill Maher

19. Egomania is quite important...
WHEN YOU'RE IN SHOW BUSINESS!

It's sure difficult to get up on a stage and talk to people who've paid to see you if you don't have it.

In fact, thinking that people will pay money to see you is egomania in action.

22. It's undefendable :) And Bill also brought up other acts of treason.
Think Coulter will ever come back on the show? That should be fun.

23. Squirm Repug Squirm
Total silence from the chatty barbie doll, she was so opinionated 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 Maher would have gone after them more on that one.
I loved the "what ass did you pull that one out of line".

take deep breaths, have stunned looks on their faces, but in a few moments they appeared to be trying to huddle together. Something like a couple of animals being attacked and trying to protect one another.

This was not comedy. Chris Rock was an absolute pain in the petard, though. Gas, gas, gas and more gas. It was pitiful. Was I missing a point or something?
