Real Time with Bill Maher was great tonight...

[wildbilln864]

don't you think?

[SharonRB]

1. Great show

We had a thread going during the show.

[wildbilln864]

4. Yes it was! Thanks....

I didn't see the thread in time. Boy Smerc sure looked pathetic didn't he? What a shill!

[gatorboy]

5. The man has crazy eyes.

Regardless of the conversation, his bulging eyeballs look like he's been up on meth for a week straight.

[Sydnie]

2. Yes I do

Hughley is amazing.

I HOPE they bring back Studio 60 and let it run it's course. He was just developing that character and it had such potential ...

Maher was good tonight. I really appreciated Catherine Crier too.

[countmyvote4real]

9. ditto that all around.

This was a smart panel with "hot" issues to discuss.

And like you, I want to see "Studio 60" return. Hopefully, it will be as topical as the writers envisioned it rather than the romantic comedy it became before it was yanked. I'm guessing it was too close for comfort for GE and it will never be seen again.

[leftynyc]

18. Any news on Studio 60?

I saw every episode and loved it. Haven't seen anything about it being cancelled but it hasn't been on.

[Blue Belle]

30. It's on the brink of being cancelled...

If "The Black Donnellys" does well in their time slot, we can kiss it goodbye. I think NBC feels it's too expensive to produce without having an instant huge audience. If you want to try to help save it, go here: http://www.eonline.com/polls/full_page_poll.jsp?pollID=6084 and vote for it (you can only vote for one).

[Sydnie]

38. I have a Nielson Tivo and I change the channel as soon as

the intro for the Black Donnellys starts. I want my Studio 60 back ... NOW!

Thanks for the link. I went to vote and will ask my friends to do the same.

[Blue Belle]

39. Great! I hope Everyone does!

I will be so sad if both "Studio 60" AND "Gilmore Girls" aren't back next year. I guess I'll actually have to do homework both those nights! :SIGH:

[AlCzervik]

3. yes tonight was very good, a big woot for CC and DL.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

6. Best show of the season so far, IMHO. n/t

[SharonRB]

7. I thought so, too

And in spite of her promoting Hillary, I still love Madeline Albright. She'd make a better president than Hillary. Too bad she can't run.

[City Lights]

28. I agree.

The smackdowns on the guy in the "wing nut chair" were a sight to behold.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

8. Oh yeah. A good one. Every time Smearaconishrepug opened his

stupid ass mouth someone shot his dumb remarks down. Maher even challenged him when he said he believed in the 10 Commandments. Kept asking him what he meant and Smearaconishrepug tried to change the subject, fumbled around and finally admitting he doesn't exactly live by all of them but they are good.

Maher even showed what a whack job Ron Paul is. Got him to really state his wild ass theories like the Civil War shouldn't have been fought, need to close down the CIA are just a couple of the milder ones.

Michael's defense of Gonzales was laughed down. He even tried the poor immigrant pulled up by his boot straps shtick. Toward the end Smearaconishrepug finally resorted to either agreeing with the other guests and Maher of shutting up completely.

I can only imagine how he'll spin this on his radio show on Monday. He will lie about the whole event or play poor me being beat up by those meanie librals but I showed them.

[krispos42]

17. Maher should have asked him to name all ten

Like Colbert did with that nut in Georgia.

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. I don't get to see it for some strange reason!!!

:argh:

My Comcast TV is showing an old 2006 re-run with Netanyahu, and panelists P.J. O'Rourke, Rob Thomas!!! grrrr!!!!

I came to DU thinking maybe that Hollywood fire hit the studio or something. (confession: I'm geographically challenged and not sure where Maher does the show.)

[Bozita]

11. My Comcast cable guide indicated a re-run too, but it wasn't.

It was live and as described above.

Really good stuff.

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. So, it wasn't a repeat afterall!

I tuned in to check and was pleased to find it was "false adverstising" afterall. Great show, too!!!

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. One thing about Merconium Man and the "where's the evidence"?

I'm really tired of this "where's the evidence" crap!!!

Time after time after time after time....BEGINNING with 9/11 these people get warned, have things laid out for them, are shown tactics that point directly to collusion and subversion of the Constitution and what's their response? 'Who knew planes would be used as missiles!' 'Who knew there would be an insurgency!' 'Who knew there was a hurricane that the levies couldn't withstand!' Right up there with 'Who knew that electronic vote machines could be hacked!' And on and on and on! It's sickening!

If George Bush and Dick Cheney were serial killers and the sycophants were being told they're going to kill again, the guys like Merconium Man would be demanding proof only to defend them after it happens!

Pleasure of the President my ass...the President's "pleasure" is a sadistic, messianic behavior!

/off rant

Have a great weekend everyone. See y'all on Monday! :hi:

[wildbilln864]

35. My Charter Digital had it as a repeat too!

Glad I checked it out anyway! I wouldn't have caught it. It should be on a few more times too.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. Self-Delete

[Lurking Dem]

34. I missed it too.

I was screwn by Comcast.

[Laurab]

12. The Shrub plate collection was great

I hope it turns up on video - all his failures - and then "The Franklin Mint" (I think that was it), sponsored by Halliburton!

[Bozita]

13. The plates were spot on! ... I'm still smiling

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. That was brilliant! eom

[Blue_In_AK]

16. Excellent show

[johnnydrama]

19. DL

DL is probably the best guest that Bill has on.

He's hilarious AND knows all the facts. A rare combination.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. Yes, DL calls the wrongwing pundits on their lies and many of Bill's guests can't because

they are not as informed.

Crier really rocked too!

[Blue_In_AK]

33. I know...

he is SO quick on his feet, always ready with the snappy comeback.

[ms liberty]

20. Yes - DL and Catherine Crier kicked ass...

Smerconish just couldn't get his talking points to stick with them on the panel! I love DL, he is so funny and he knows how to respond and smack down the RWers! I wish he would have been on last week too!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. DL was great as ever but the big surprise was Catherine Crier. She was outstanding! eom

[dysfunctional press]

26. catherine crier may have just earned at least one new viewer to her show...

i'm going to have to check it out.

[dysfunctional press]

25. best. show. ever.

well...this season, anyway. by far.

but then- look at how much material there was to work with.

[blondeatlast]

27. Oh, the hypocrisy! Smerc mention the AG scandal as "an 8 second sound bite."

Everything the left tries to do the RRR Wing Noise Machine tries to filter into an 8 second sound bite, although they are finding it increasingly difficult. Watch how this meme gets repeated in the RRR networks.

Doesn't feel so good when it turns around and bites your sorry asses, does it, you low-life shill?

[Jacobin]

29. It was nice to see that skin head get his ass handed to him

What a lying bubble headed freak.

[otohara]

31. D.L. Hugley Nailed Maher

on the Pat Tillman debate. I couldn't believe Maher was saying he would be ok with the government lying to him about the death of his kid.

[rebel with a cause]

32. Maher doesn't have any kids, that we know of,

so how would he know what he would or would not be okay with if it was his kid. The only perfect parent is someone who has no children. (in other words, they have all the answers to the problems they do not have).

[wildbilln864]

36. You got that right!

He would want to know!

Anybody catch the overtime online?

[Blue_In_AK]

37. Sometimes I think Bill just likes to be provocative

to encourage his guests to counter what he says. It starts the debate.
