October 1 Lineup for "Real Time" w/ Bill Maher

[Crankie Avalon]

From the website:

"Bill Maher returns with a new edition Friday, October 1 at 11 pm. Bill's guests: comedian George Carlin, correspondent Katty Kay, and author Steve Moore. Plus, via satellite the Dixie Chicks, and talk show host Tucker Carlson."

Too bad Carlson is only on via satellite rather than getting kicked around for the whole show in the studio. That would have been awesome.

4. yeah, is it the Club for Growth Guy? n/t

9. Yep, that's the one.

A lowlife if there ever was one.

8. Gotta admit...

...the name didn't ring a bell, at first--but I looked him up and he's "...President of the Club for Growth and a contributing editor of National Review." http://www.clubforgrowth.org/stephen.php

Is he a squirelly looking gut with a brown moptop and glasses? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he's been on Real Time, before.

2. Maher hasn't been too good

lately. I hope after last night he'll finally stop picking on Kerry and aim at *. Going to watch.

[YEM]

5. I agree. Maher has been bitching about Kerry too much.

I love Bill, but he has been whinning of late. Maybe he will have some positives to say about Kerry tonight.

[Carrion]

6. Disagree

Yes, Bill has been picking on Kerry. But the shows have been funny as hell!

7. Last week was great. The week before sucked.

Mostly because last week all of his panelists were funny, intelligent, articulate, informed, and insightful. And the week before he had some actress chick who wasn't even frigging fluent in English who he probably had on the show as a favor rather than as someone who would help convey anything interesting or new. I don't even remember who else was on it because she dragged it down so much.

It really does depend on a panel. Certain people can just drag it down big time. The dude who played the fat hobbit is one example. A Bob Barr/Steve Harvey uncomfortable duo is another

3. Tuck Fucker

Steve Moore is that pissant from the Hair Club for Growth. He makes my skin crawl.
