VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-tears-into-panel-over-syria-intervention-foreign-policy-cant-be-do-what-we-want-or-we-bomb-you/
Bill Maher bemoaned the increasingly likely intervention into Syria on Friday night, especially so recently after Obamas speech about the drawdown of the War on Terror. Cant we just sit one of (the wars) out? he asked. Does every time the bat signal go off, we have to answer it?

Republicans have lost FOUR out of the last six presidential elections, not FIVE. Unless, of course Alter is viewing 2000 as a SCOTUS "selection" rather than an "election".

I enjoyed it, especially since nobody said a thing. And he is accurate because they were talking about the popular vote.
