Want to talk about Bill Maher??

[TNOE]

I'm telling you - comedians like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart are going to go along way to save the day (if its saveable)!! His show this year has been a MUSTN'T MISS!!! If you missed it this week, this is how he concluded the show! And Geroge Carlson ROCKED too! He was pissed!


New Rule!:

America must recall the President.

That's what this country needs--an old-fashioned California-style recall election complete with Gary Colman, porno stars, action film stars.

.....And just like Schwartzenager's predecessor, George Bush is so unpopular he must defend his job against, say............Russell Crowe!

I want somebeody who will at least throw a phone at somebody--maybe Naomi Campbell......

But seriously Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you anymore......

..there's no more money to spend---you've used all there is of that.

You can't start another war, because you've used up all the Army.........

And darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush familty nightmare----helping poor people!

Yeah, listen to your mom:

The cupboard's bare, the credit card is maxxed out, and no one's speaking to you---Mission Accomplished!

Now it's time for you to do what you have always done--lose interest and walk away.

Like you did with your military service, the oil company--the baseball team.-- It's time.

Now it's time to move on and walk away to the next fantasy job! How about a Cowboy, or a Space man???

Now, I know what you're saying--there so many other things you as president could involve yourself in---(pause)----Please DON'T!

Now, I know there's a lot left to do--there's the war with Venuzuela, eliminating the Sales Tax on yachts, turning the Space Program over to the church, and Social Security over to Fannie Mae, giving embryos the vote....

But sir, none of that is going to happen.

Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives, you perform so poorly I'm surprised you haven't given yourself a medal.

You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he--never conceded an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes.

On your watch we've lost

almost all our allies,
the surplus,
4 airliners,
2 trade centers,
a piece of the Pentagon,
and the city of New Orleans.

Maybe you're just not lucky!

I'm not saying you don't love this country, I'm just saying-- how much worse it could be if you were on the other side?

Yes, God speaks to you and what He's saying is....

"Take a hint."

1. I totally agree

I was thinking, maybe we should start emailing them both.

[TNOE]

2. And say what?

Just tell them how wonderful they are?? Not being sarcastic - just asking - I agree with you, just wondering.

[HEAVYHEART]

4. Absolutely

Tell them how wonderful they are and that we appreciate what they're doing. Also, send them links and other pertinent info on various issues that the mainstream media isn't reporting. Who knows, maybe they'll use the info at their shows.

[TNOE]

7. That is great idea

I'm definitely going to do it - I hope others will as well.

[HEAVYHEART]

9. Well

I didn't find any specific Bill Maher contact info on the hbo website but I found a billmaher.com. But it was taking a long time to load so I'll have to try again. I'm in between meetings at work, I'm gonna try to find Jon Stewart's info too.

5. Very odd to me

that mainstream media can't do what these guys are doing. Really. Last night, The Daily Show had Rep. Coburn's (R-Oklahoma) very emotional plea at the Roberts confirmation hearings for "respect, and dismantling of the bitter partisanship and polarization plaguing our country". He was weeping. His intent was that the Democrats can't avoid politicizing every scenario and "they" are dividing our nation. He was distraught. However...TDS hung Coburn with his own petard. They super-imposed on the screen his own words. Hateful, spiteful, and mean. So. Mr. "I deplore the blatant partisanship" is, in fact, one of the worst purveyors of...bitter partisanship.
Why does it take guys like Maher and Stewart to point out such blatant hypocrisy?

[TNOE]

6. NO KIDDING!!

God that was beautiful - I said the same on CatWomen's thread about Kurt Vonnegut

Is this Coburn up for re-election? If so - somebody has their commerical already made - CALLED HIM OUT FOR BEING A PHOENY!! Doing the crossword puzzle during the hearings and then turned on the faucet! God that was a classic moment.
