On Bill Maher Show. Wasn't he?

Seeing the end, so was Maher. Damn.

It was a weird show from the beginning. It didn't feel right. Was Maher on crack or something?

3. If that show is like an uncensored Political Incorrectness
no one "good" should ever go on there.

4. why not?
More times than not Maher is on "our" side, though he won't admit it.

I like the show, and it is like PI.

But tonight, Bill really bashed all Arabs, I think, and that's not good.

5. It's because it too frequently winds up being a competition for
airtime and applause. Have you ever actually learned anything--besides something about human nature--from Bill Maher?

7. I watched it regularly until Bill Maher kept repeating--stupidly--
"That is so September 10th!" anytime someone brought up Bush's illegitimacy. And it was really just to cover his ass after getting in trouble with Ari Fleischer and the advertisers.

8. I kinda agree with you there
But I think he actually believes that. He can't help that he's ignorant.

9. Maher is an arrogant POS
He actually thinks he's on an intellectual level with Krugman. HA! What a joke!! I wouldn't have watched it but for Krugman and, as usual, the most intelligent person has the least amount of blabber! Jeeesh!!:puke:

10. Now you know what we Minnesotans had to endure
for four lousy years... and the aftermath we still struggle with... By the way, our "liberal" state hasn't had a Democratic governor for a long, long time. And remember our esteemed senators Durenburg and Boschwitz? "Liberal" Minnesota is a myth. We miss Wellstone!

11. It's no wonder
It's no wonder the people at MSNBC can't pull the trigger on his show. He is a piece of work. I loved when he complained about price controls and Krugman held his head in disbelief. JV was complaining they were price restraints, when Krugman pointed out they were artificial price supports for farmers.

He presents himself as a tough guy and then whimps about the media.
Why he didn't run for reelection -- He would have lost terribly.
