New Rule: Maher Needs To Be On More Than Once A Week
by Steve Young

"For the second week in a row, Bill Maher hosted a Bush apologist on his HBO "Real Time" who threw out the "every President does it" justification to defend the midst-of-term dismissals of eight federal prosecutors. And for the second week in a row, Maher asked that the twisted talking point be put out of its misery.

Beginning of a term, yes. Middle of a term and lying about the reasons, um...no.

They won't stop, of course. Not when protecting the party is more important than defending the justice system. You don't let go of the last twig on the edge of a cliff you're hanging off of. Afterall, Alberto Gonzalez's testimony increased the President's confidence in his attorney general-friend.

But Maher needs to keep reminding them and us that their argument holds no water. Hell, it isn't even moist. With Alberto Gonzalez aide, Kyle Sampson, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee that, "A U.S. attorney who is unsuccessful from a political perspective ... is unsuccessful," Maher needs to expand on what is the natural extension that is the RNC and Bush deceptions...

1. Last night's show was very good

I was mostly impressed with Iglesias, and as I posted elsewhere, believe he should replace Gonza as AG.

2. I agree.......

Iglesias comes across as highly ethical, someone we would be proud to have as AG!

And I also agree that Maher should be on more than once a week. He should also find a way to put an end to the 3 month hiatus twice per year!

4. I just read that he was born in Panama

Iglesias, that is. Does that disqualify him for the AG slot?

3. Maher needs Gravel on his show every week. He'd be a great

counter for the Maher Bushbots he always has on.
