Bidden had some great observations last night. Loved his bit on *praying

[greenbriar]

he acts on instinct (bad ones) and then prays that he is right

[rodeodance]

1. tte he

2. Ha, good one.

Ba da bump.

[madame defarge]

3. I liked the bit...

about how Republicans use prayer as a political operation tool, not a road to redemption.

I also thought the bit about creationism & fundamentalists, evangelicals, etc.: Democrats shouldn't fish in that pond...because those fish won't bite..."

Actually, the whole show was great, including the monologue...
"Bush should not be allowed to see classified information..."
"Make your IRS check out to Halliburton..."
"File a joint return - send them a joint with a note 'If you think I'm paying for this war, you must be high'"
"Bush knew about 9/11 beforehand? I didn't think he knew about it after..."

10. My personal favorite:

The only way to solve the illegal immigration problem is to arm Lou Dobbs!! LOL!!

4. He was very impressive last night.

And I, like Maher, admire the fact that he just came right out with it and said he was running for President.

I'm a LONG way from making up my mind--I won't even begin to think about that until after November this year, but I do appreciate the candor.

I can't stand the way people fuddle around with it when you just know they are running.

5. of course

in reference to fundies and end times. IF they believe georgie is actually bringing them on, therefore HE IS the antichrist and they are FOLLOWING HIM.

do they think that? do they realise that?

6. I hate to say this but he is atrractive and tall and that is important...

It is pretty much common knowlege that if it looks like Gollum (Rove) it can't be elected

[ruggerson]

7. I'm changing my mind about Biden

which is suprising me.

Now if he can only learn to talk in sound bytes and be a bit less long winded.

The man's instincts are wonderful. And he's brighter than almost all of them.

I think he'd make a fantastic President.

[leesa]

8. Good, then if you love bloated corporations and neverending war

profiteering it will all work out swell.

[ruggerson]

9. Nah, I think it's a safe bet

to say that he'd be pretty much diametrically opposed to what we have now.

I probably would not support him in the primaries, but I think he's got the brains and the political charm to make a great President.

11. i found it offensive how maher was kissing his ass

biden is notorious for talking too much, and always about himself.

biden can run, but he doesn't have a chance.

and i REALLY wish ben afleck would get involved in politics. he is smart, very liberal, and quite photogenic.
