Real Time w/ Bill Maher was the best tonight (I think of the season).

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

It was the season finale; new episodes to air again in August.

[Pirate Smile]

1. I agree. It was awesome.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

3. Loved how he ended it w/ his speech about those who support

the war should go and the discussion about the election and voter fraud. Gore Vidal and Al Franken were awesome!

[Pirate Smile]

27. Yes, he even mentioned Jenna and Barbara.

:evilgrin:

[deadparrot]

2. The last of his New Rules was great.

Hit it right on the nose.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

4. Absolutely! When the image of the yellow magnet came up,

I yelled, "Yes!" at the TV. I knew where he was going w/ it.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

5. Welcome home, Bill Maher

I've been disgusted with him for all the Fuckface asskissing he did, particularly how our invasion had brought "democracy" to Iraq, and for his pandering to the rightwingnut guests he had.

But, tonight, man, oh, man, it was spectacular! I'm a Gore Vidal fan anyway, and that guy just talked like God tonight. Franken was brilliantly funny, and Maher was as nasty and funny as I've ever seen him.

It was the best show of the season - by far.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

7. Good to see him bust on Coulter, as I heard him say in the past

he was friends with her (friends w/ benefits, I wonder...?).

[OldLeftieLawyer]

12. You see Larry Gelbart's essay about that bitch?

26. Gelbart says of Coulter that she

"...needs only a blinking red light to begin giving talking head..."

Thanks for the link to that sharp trouncing of a very nasty girl.

[Kurovski]

28. I think they 're still friends,

he did call her "darling" and spoke directly to her. :shrug:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

30. I agree with every word, but...

what is my tabby cat doing at your bar? No wonder I haven't seen her around for a couple of hours. Coco? Here kitty, kitty...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

32. Please

Don't make me say "Leave my pussy alone."

Please.

[MrScorpio]

6. Gore Vidal is Love

Give the man his props!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

13. Gore Vidal is God

I absolutely worship that man, his courage, his mind. He has never backed down from presenting his opinion, and has always been dead right on target.

[IChing]

16. Mr. scorpio you need to address

that stupid thread in discussion forum on racism
your wit and wisdom is needed

I'm glad your young brother is home


I love this show tonight sorry for the change of subject.

[Kurovski]

8. Al Franken's

feigned innocence as to why gay Jeff Gannon would stay overnight at the White House was the highlight.

But Mr. Vidal got the most laughs out of this boy.

Bill had a nice wrap up with the "It's time for the folks who were for the war to sign up" segment. Anyone who missed it would do well to catch the re-broadcasts.

[Nite Owl]

9. Sounded like a good show

I'll catch the rerun on HBO2 at 1am.

[enigmatic]

10. Didsn't see it, but Gore Vidal is da man...

Absolutely brilliant thinker; I know he tried politics at one time but I've love to see him try again; we need him..

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

11. Would be so cool if Franken definitely decides to run against Norm

Coleman for Senate.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

14. Oh, he's running

And he'll win.

[enigmatic]

17. Franken's really going to run?

Wow; I knew there were rumours about this; I'd love to see him wipe the floor w/ Colema..

[IChing]

20. yes of course

he said it tonight. the show rocked
and I haven't like it after the election with bill's
democracy in Iraq crap.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

21. Franken said he's seriously thinking about it. I think he'll go for it.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

24. He's being coy

His response to Maher was something like "I'm definitely thinking about it," but my guts tell me he's running.

[Pirate Smile]

29. I think they have already bought (or are in the process of buying) a

house in MN and plan on moving back and doing the show from there after 2006.

He is running. He didn't run for Dayton's seat in 2006 because he had promised AAR and he wants to take out Coleman in 2008.

[enigmatic]

33. It's going to be a war

You know they'll do everything in their power to try to smear him; it's going to be crazy..

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. yeah but he is honest about his past

happily married and a hell of a lot smarter than Coleman...but I don't doubt they will fight dirty.

But people of Minnesota are smarter than that

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. Thanks!

I've got some reading to do tonight:)

[evlbstrd]

18. I wish I could see it!

At least with The Daily Show, I can watch it on the net.
Sounds like an All Star lineup with plenty of home runs.

[LynneSin]

22. I was housecleaning - who was on it

I'll watch it later this week!

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. Al Franken, Gore Vidal, some news chick,

Charles Barkley and Norm Coleman were the satellite remotes

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

25. If you have HBO2, it reruns tomorrow night I think at 10:00 PM eastern

time.

[IChing]

31. If you have DirecTv

Channel 502---10 Pacific time

[LynneSin]

34. I have one channel and somehow I got it for free

I cancelled HBO after Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Sex and the City were off the air. I figured SATC is done and the other 2 won't be back for a bit so I'll save money not get HBO again until those 2 series start.

Then I discovered I had HBO anyways on my living room TV. So I figured why mess with what they messed up on

:shrug:
