anyone see bill maher last night. i couldn't believe my ears

[catmother]

when rep. rohrbacker (sp?) said "we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here". i screamed at the tv. didn't think anyone would use that old line anymore.:puke:

[WhiteTara]

1. it was all so gross that I left until

the new rules came up. Bill is such a disappointment. I remember him when he was mildly funny.

[catmother]

5. i still like him -- always have.

[Atman]

21. Did you forget to add "April Fools?"

No offense, catmom, but dear lord, that man is a freakin' imbecile!

[catmother]

23. actully he's quite intelligent and knowlegeable but you're

entitled to your opinion. there's a lot of people who don't like him -- my husband is one of them. :cry:

[WhiteTara]

27. He panders

JMHO. He lost his spine and he just panders to whoever is around.

[catmother]

42. he does get on the dems for not doing more. i have to agree

with him on that. i like when he said the dems should have taken that video of bush sitting for 7 minutes after he was told that the country was under attack and played it over and over during the election.

[WhiteTara]

47. on what...their home TIVO?

Please, the dems have had no voice for six years. They can't hold a hearing, call an investigation, get a press conference with Faux or any of the others. I'm tired of playing the fair and nice person. We need a comedian who will consistantly "kid" the president every day and his administration in every way. I mean really, he has the microphone and HBO. Get on with it Bill and stop pandering to the repukes. At least he doesn't have his best friend Ann the liberal killer Coulter on anymore.

[catmother]

49. i don't see him pandering to the repukes just because he has

them on his show.:shrug:

[WhiteTara]

53. sorry CM...I just think that having their

point of view shoved in our faces is pandering. I sure would love to have have Wes Clark in his place so that we could have some real humor at their expense, not having to scrape it out of some inuendo that Bill put forth. I want some belly laughs, not nervous twitters...okay, okay, I'm upping my meds. :)

[catmother]

56. then i think you might have to watch Comedy Central.

[NYCGirl]

59. The biggest and most prolonged laugh of the night was at Rohrbacher's

expense.

Edited because I misunderstood the post.

[WhiteTara]

60. he's at least as funny as Dana

Rohrbacher and has at least our point of view.

[catmother]

62. he really looked like the asshole he is.

:woohoo:

[NYCGirl]

52. No, on a commercial. A political commercial. He was talking about

during the last election.

[catmother]

54. exactly. we dems don't play dirty enough. we're too nice.

:shrug:

[NYCGirl]

58. That film would've made a commercial that would've blown the lid off

the election.

[catmother]

61. it sure would have. love the way michael moore did it in

Fahrenheit 911.:applause:

[WhiteTara]

55. love that pic

very good!

[NYCGirl]

57. You realize that pic is not photoshopped. That's Gore in costume for a

Halloween party. And the punchline of the story was that he was taking a call from Pres. Clinton at the time!

[WhiteTara]

63. I love it even more

couse I thought it was.

[Atman]

36. Are we talking about Roherbacher?

I was, as he was the subject of the original message.

Bill Maher, otoh, IS bright, and I do like him, but I do feel he is full of crap about half the time. Which is part of why I like watching his show. It's always easy to like people you agree with 100%. But love him, hate him or merely tolerate him, Bill makes you think.

[catmother]

43. yes. he does make you think.

[musical_soul]

38. I agree.

First, humor is humor. I refuse to take it seriously.

Second, I sort of like hearing from somebody who is center left.

[shanti]

17. it's just that the bill maher show is so inconsistent

one week it's spot on, next week is full of wingnuts and :puke:

[demosincebirth]

33. He said, last year, that he was going to try and have a more

balance on his show. Its ok with me, but to have idiots like that takes away any sensible discussion you may want to have.

[Roon]

2. After the next terrorist attack

I am gonna scream the old line loud and often.

[catmother]

3. you and me both.

:pals:

[Roon]

9. :-)

:hugs:

[October]

4. Rorabacher was full of those lines last night

He was disgustingly ignorant.

[catmother]

7. he's such a big mouth idiot.

:eyes:

[patdem]

6. Wait a minute, aint the new line..we fight them over there so we dont have

to close our boarders here? WOW..talk about so 2005!

[musical_soul]

40. lol.

I have to say that having wars in other places will probably encourage people to try to come to America to be safe.

[catmother]

46. sometimes i think about leaving -- like retiring in costa rica --

someplace where we're not hated. :dilemma:

[JeffR]

8. Everything old is new for these idiots.

Republicans are the Oldies Radio of politics.

Brace yourself to hear "My Country, Right or Wrong", "America: Love It or Leave It", "Keep America Beautiful: Get a Haircut" and all those other swingin' Sixties faves, and day now.

:hi:

[catmother]

11. hi brother-in-law.

:hi:

[JeffR]

15. Hey there!

I wish we got Bill Maher here (we used to get politically Correct, but not the current show). Not that Nance or I ever need much of an excuse to scream at the TV - we still turn on CNN now & then.

How did the dental work go?

[catmother]

19. it's coming along. it's going to take awhile. i had some implants

so they have to heal before the work will be complete. :)

[JeffR]

31. Keep smiling

Carefully

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. The Shrub and Snottie Scottie say it all the time, and yes, everytime

I hear that I yell and want to :puke:

lol! Edited to add something I just remembered! When the Shrub was recently in Pakistan he almost said it and caught himself because he was THERE! :rofl:

[muchacho]

12. Stepford Reps

they keep lying...and lying...and lying....

[BrainRants]

13. I thought Bills question about Clinton putin him in his place.

Bill asked him if he would be an apologist for Clinton if he had sat reading My Pet Goat for 7 minutes after being told the country was under attack.

His answer?

*Silence*

The audience busted out laughing!

Another Republican idiot. (sorry for the redundancy)

[catmother]

18. oh i loved that. you reminded me of something bill said after

the katrina fiasco. he said bill clinton would have been there immediately -- would have gone without sleep for 3 days and got himself a piece of tail at the same time. lol

[mrcheerful]

14. Why are you surprised? Repukes are one track minded.

Watch you'll be hearing that a lot before election day, 9/11, Saddam, Iraq freedom, Winning the hearts and minds, We are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here, Terror, scare the sheeple, terror alerts going from yellow to red. Next will come the Iran has WMDS and is planing to blow america off the face of the earth, we must stop the evil leader of Iran, besides he gassed his own people and he will gas us next. We are going to free the people of Iran and teach them democracy. They are hoping that will work yet again, dems are weak and spineless to protect america from attacks like 9/11. Its already started again.

[catmother]

22. i think that's how he got elected. he had the country convinced

that he had kept us safe. meanwhile we all know that terrorists are very patient people. they take their time planning attacks.:shrug:

[Cleita]

16. Everything he said was the GOP propaganda points that were

thrown out there for the gullibe four years ago. There was nothing new here and most of his points have been disproven.

[AtomicKitten]

20. Bill Maher is a Libertarian who is just expressing his views.

It's his show. I think Dems agree with him on most issues and laugh hysterically then.

It's okay to disagree.

On edit: I was disappointed, however, that Bill didn't mention the letter this dipshit wrote in support of Abramoff.

[Cooley Hurd]

24. I guess terrorists don't have a map...

They can find Iraq, but have no clue where America is, right, Dana?:eyes:

[catmother]

25. he also said something to the effect that we're depleting their

finances by having them in iraq. that was one i hadn't heard before.:shrug:

[Hamlette]

26. true, but don't you think he sounded like a complete idiot by the end?

When Bill said: "If Clinton had sat there for 7 minutes after being told the country was under attack, look me in the eye and tell you would make excuses like you are making for Bush" (or words to that effect) and the GOP dolt couldn't do it, he couldn't/wouldn't answer. He AND the audience got it. He had no credibility. Even before that, but espeically after that, he sounded like a idiot trying to pass off talking points for real info.

The worst part was Erica and the other guy were idiots too. Every time Erica opened her mouth I wanted to scream, she's liberal but not well informed, she knew some stuff but got many things wrong. Idiots all. Bill had to carry the water for the liberals and he did a pretty good job of it.

[catmother]

28. yeah. they didn't contribute much.

[demosincebirth]

29. Thats what you sound like...

when you're on a diet of "cool aid." He also said it with straight face.

[demosincebirth]

30. You reacted the same way I did. When I yelled at the TV,

my wife jumped off her seat..scared the hell out of her.

[catmother]

39. i yell at the tv alot. sometimes my husband is in another room

and he just hears my voice -- and says "what? i didn't hear you." i say "not talking to you talking to the tv". sometimes my cats are sleeping and they jump up when they hear me. lol

[demosincebirth]

48. LOL!

[mountainvue]

32. The show was a horrible mess

last night. I left it on the background but tuned it out after a while. Rohrabacher managed to espouse all of the con talking points in last night's show. The comedian was basically worthless and I was pissed at Bill for going off on Erica Jong for saying she believes in LIHOP/MIHOP.

[driver8]

34. I cannot stand that dipshit. Every time he is on with Bill Maher

I want to put my fist through my tv.

He is definitely a right wing goose stepper.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

35. Bill Maher is a Libertarian, which means he's right wing, period.

So it doesn't surprise me that he has right wingers spewing right wing ideology on his show.

[musical_soul]

41. As long as he is supporting the Democratic candidates....

as he appears to, he's fine by me.

[catmother]

44. he usually has 2 left wingers and 1 right winger. it makes the

show interesting. just like seeing rohracker (that big bag of wind) making a fool out of himself. :puke:

[Puregonzo1188]

50. Bill Maher is anything but right wing (n/t)

[catmother]

51. i think he's extremely liberal.

:applause:

[musical_soul]

37. Unfortunately, it's a very real fear.

If we want to stop wars in the future, we have to convince Americans that fighting over there isn't necessary for their own safety.

[catmother]

45. if we don't this war will go on forever. and if McCain becomes

president, god help us.
