[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[walldude]

1. Please.. the man is brilliant, I must know what he had to say ..

Thanks shocks! :toast:

[magnolia]

17. For starters...when Bill asked about the...

[Selatius]

2. I'll keep a watch for this thread then...

[Cleita]

:-) "I'm not only from the richest country in the world, but the dumbest country in the world."

[MuseRider]

[Graf Orlok]

He's telling it like it is about republicans!

[dweller]

HBOless homie.

6. If Jesus showed up now, they would probably give him lethal injection

rather than crucifixtion.

Go Kurt, Go!

[catnhatnh]

7. And he originated the term....

....* means asshole...

[Cleita]

9. He really did didn't he? Had that picture right there in his book.

eom

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Yup, in 'Breakfast of Champions'

"This is my picture of an asshole."

[omega minimo]

8. We are living inside his books.

Trapped like Gumby and Pokey

:rofl:

[Twillig]

12. Surrounded by Diana Moon Glampers and

H. Lowe Crosby types(freepers and neo-cons) while the Dim Son plays around with ice nine.

I refer you all to the Fourteenth Book of Bokonon.

10. He talked about his new book

He stated that he was from the richest and the dumbest country in the world. They discussed his book wherein he stated Rpublicans want the Ten Commandments in public buildings which was Moses but not the beatitudes which was Jesus.

[burrowowl]

11. Go Kurt!

He is a good one! A new book, I can't wait!

[Turbineguy]

14. World War Two

war over and I found myself crossing Times Square with a Purple Heart on.

[faithnotgreed]

15. i really appreciated his words on what we have done to this planet

- we may have reached the point of no return
- the earths immune system wants to kick us out because of what we have done/are doing

great interview but too short~

[magnolia]

16. If you haven't seen this...

...get a transcript. It was excellent. George Carlin and Kurt Vonnegut in particular said things I never thought I would here on TV. Carlin called Babs Bush a douchebag.

Scarborough and the other right wing guy were just repeating their talking points. Too bad transcripts don't have audience reaction. The RW guy got laughed at and he wasn't even being funny. His remarks were so ridiculous in light of what we now know.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. He called Barbara Bush "The Silver Douchbag"

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Wasn't that amazing? Maher was trying not to laugh....

[Kazak]

19. No fucking way!!

I've been wondering what he was up to. Give us a full run down.
