She's right about electronic voting and the need for a paper trail.

I was impressed.

:hide: :hide: :hide: :hide:

[Cush]

[SeattleGirl]

6. I loved that "commercial"

:bounce:

[IChing]

4. I'm there.......... democrats are doing a victory dance

Paid for by republicans against change.......

[SeattleGirl]

5. SeattleGirl, checking in!

Candy Crowley is going to be on. Everyone got their claws out and ready to go? :evilgrin:

[Greeby]

10. Candy Crowley?

*smears grease on the camera lens with a trowel* :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

13. Yes indeed.

Pass the grease over my way, would ya?

[Moochy]

46. My Eyes!! arrrgh

Aieeee!! it's alive!!! *gouges eyes out* :evilfrown:

[Greeby]

7. Have to wait till it pops up on Isohunt or youtube

:(

[Minnesota_Lib]

8. Checking in...waiting for the names he promised on Larry King (LOL)

[IChing]

9. Bill said the last time I was this happy is when

I got the news on a home pregnancy test.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

11. I'm here.

[Sydnie]

15. Germany is bring charges against Rummy?

Was that just a joke or is that true? I have been out of the loop all day today ... :shrug:

[IChing]

16. Yes LBN and on other major sites.

Good monologue so far

[Sydnie]

17. Damn, I have missed a good day while at work, huh?

Will have to pop over to LBN and chack it out! :rofl: Go Germany!

[Radio_Lady]

62. Hi Sydnie. I heard this on Lou Dobbs' show at 3 PM Pacific Time.

Quite a bit of conjecture about whether or not German has jurisdiction over American citizens. Apparently, another effort similar to this one ended up in the scrap heap a few years ago.

[Sydnie]

72. thanks Radio_Lady

I was at work with no access to any outside info, I missed the whole thing today.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

18. No joke, it's true.

[EFerrari]

19. It's true. They dismissed a case against him once already

because he needed to go there for some security business but this time, he's gonna get slammed.

[Sydnie]

20. Hot Damn!

My smile is big and bold again tonight. It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?

[EFerrari]

33. I feel enboldened ,myself.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Especially so because now that he's out, he not longer has the

protection of people in high office. I hope they get him but good!

[Greeby]

24. It's not just Rummy

It's Gonzales, Tenet, Cambone, Addington, Yoo and just about every name directly connected with ordering the torture

[Sydnie]

27. That is just about the best news I have heard since Tuesday!

Did they leave out cheney and blivet** or did they include them too?

[IChing]

39. I don't care how long it takes just so they get their Karma

but it is a great start.

[peacetalksforall]

70. I saved this paragraph from the news release - relishing it -

"Along with Rumsfeld, Gonzales and Tenet, the other defendants in the case are Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Stephen Cambone; former assistant attorney general Jay Bybee; former deputy assisant attorney general John Yoo; General Counsel for the Department of Defense William James Haynes II; and David S. Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff. Senior military officers named in the filing are General Ricardo Sanchez, the former top Army official in Iraq; Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the former commander of Guantanamo; senior Iraq commander, Major General Walter Wojdakowski; and Col. Thomas Pappas, the one-time head of military intelligence at Abu Ghraib."

[Sydnie]

83. That is a thing of beauty!

Let's hope they don't stop there!

[rhiannon55]

21. Wish I had HBO

oh well, I'll watch it through your eyes :popcorn: thanks!

[IChing]

23. Schumer looks good tonight but

He said he isn't Jewish...LOL

[SeattleGirl]

26. I cracked up when he said that the Jewish people would vote

Republican anyway. :spray:

[IChing]

28. That cracked me up too

sounds liked he also has a good plan for Iraq and wire tapping

[OwnedByFerrets]

30. I thought he said that Anti_semites would vote

republican anyway. :shrug:

[Cush]

31. he did

[IChing]

34. Yes you are right I'm misread the other thread

I want to hear Salman, what a writer.

[Mike Nelson]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

29. Shumer talking about unlawful wiretapping.

"We have to do things within the law." Right on, Senator. I hope you guys are planning to get rid of that crap asap.

[SeattleGirl]

32. And heeeeeeeeer's Candy!

:puke:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

35. She is such a shill

"it's only one election". STFU, asshole. :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

36. She just cannot pass up a chance to kick the Dems.

:grr:

[Greeby]

37. So we kick back

Like so :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[SeattleGirl]

40. Yes, we do!

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[Moochy]

51. Ruh Roh

It's a chain reaction!!
:puke: :puke: :puke:

She looks like a reject from Jim Henson's plus-sized muppet factory.

[Strelnikov_]

38. Schumer Just Gave Some Love To Dean

Sounds like the rumors of a Dem power struggle have been greatly exaggerated.

[SeattleGirl]

41. From what I was reading today, I think Carville is the main one

who was coming out against Dean.

[IChing]

44. DLC power play going on (hillary,Lieberman)

But that is another thread

[OwnedByFerrets]

42. Not liking panel tonite at all..........nt

[tularetom]

47. They're not pickin up on any of the provocative shit Maher is

putting out. And Fatass Crowley is of course spouting repub bullshit.

[Cameron27]

48. Apparently

the liberal left is passe. I'll be an Eskimo lesbian if you'll be a tree hugger.

I'm not liking this show either

[SeattleGirl]

49. Still playing along with "The Dems have no plan."

Why don't they talk more about how the Republicans have no plan either. They just blindly go do what they want, consequences be damned.

[IChing]

58. Salaman must work for somebody that protects him

But he still is well read and informed.


Sounds like a bunch of libertarians tonight on the panel, but it still is OK, they help the democrats win.

[ronnykmarshall]

108. Pretty boring tonight.

[SeattleGirl]

43. I love what Rusdie is saying about how the old Left/Right

rhetoric doesn't really work any more.

[Zomby Woof]

Rainn Wilson

Is a complete and utter waste of body tissue. Dumb, snotty, and oh-so-superior while he basks in his gross ignorance.

I am hoping he disappears into one of Candy's folds while she is yammering her GOP talking points.

[SeattleGirl]

50. ROFL!!!!

Good one, ZW!

[Zomby Woof]

52. I forgot to add

Glasses do not necessarily make you intellectual, dooooood.

[tularetom]

67. Especially Buddy Holly glasses

[Sydnie]

53. Well, it certainly shows that he's about as bright as the

character that the plays on The Office, meaning, not bright at all. :puke:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

59. ZW, best comment of the night so far, bare none.

"I am hoping he disappears into one of Candy's folds while she is yammering her GOP talking points."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Justitia]

101. No kidding - what an ignorant, smug jerk. And clueless. -eom

[PFunk]

45. Okay. Since I don't watch CNN (or any corp news anymore) this is...

... my first time seeing Candy and my only response is Damn. What a blowhard. Please don't tell me she's now one of CNN rising stars.

God how low this network has falling.

[PFunk]

54. So it looks like we got two RW idiots and a intellegent moderate alone with Bill.

Damn. This is looking like a lousy show.

[SeattleGirl]

56. It's rather boring, isn't it?

Last week's was kind of the same -- pretty mediocre, until New Rules.

[Sydnie]

55. Pot Roast Test?

where the hell did he get that? I have never heard of that litmus test before.

[SeattleGirl]

57. I have, but not for a few years.

[Sydnie]

61. Might that be a West coast thing?

I've been around politics all my life and I have never heard that here on the East coast.

[SeattleGirl]

65. When I heard it, it was in reference mainly to the mid-west voters.

Again, it's been quite awhile since I heard it.

[SeattleGirl]

60. "A Farewell to Douchebags"

:rofl:

[shanti]

66. that was great!!!!

:rofl:

[pkz]

69. LOL

loved farewell to douchebags

[Cush]

63. "A Farewell to Douchebags"

[EstimatedProphet]

71. Pity Crowley wasn't one of the included douchebags

[FyurFly]

77. LOL

:rofl:

[IChing]

64. Farewell to dochebags works for me

Now
Jeff Flake who lost................yeah

[shanti]

68. former "young republican"

no doubt. :eyes:

[IChing]

73. LOL

Good looking guy but rather "stiff" or wood like,
sorta like a log.

[Greeby]

78. Umm Jeff Flake didn't lose

No Democrat ran for his seat, and thus the Libertarian candidate picked up 25% of the vote
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G06/AZ.phtml

[IChing]

82. Thanks I thought that Bill said he lost

25% is very high and that is the vote that should be studied.

Is he gay? I know nothing on him

[Greeby]

86. It'd be interesting to note

How many votes a Libertarian or Green would get in a Congressional race where there was no Democrat on the ballot

[DesertRat]

105. Jeff Flake isn't gay

A little about him...He's a 5th generation Arizonan from a rural part of the state. He's conservative, Mormon and married with 5 kids.

[Minnesota_Lib]

74. Is it me or does Jeff Flake look like a Kennedy?

[SeattleGirl]

76. A little bit, yes.

[SeattleGirl]

75. "But enough about Don Rumsfeld."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[shanti]

79. salman rushdie is on!

i like this man!

[shanti]

80. greed

THANK YOU for mentioning this important point.

[SeattleGirl]

81. Maher: "What IS the job [in Iraq]?"

Same thing I'd like to know.

[IChing]

84. Greed

[Zomby Woof]

85. LOL!

You'd love to do Hillary! Just like him! :rofl:

Candy has been subdued. She is more biased on CNN than here.

[SeattleGirl]

87. I cracked up when she said that, and at Bill's response!

:rofl:

[FyurFly]

88. Webb and Tester will kick ass!!!

:kick:

[Sydnie]

89. Don't forget to check out the ASK BILL segment on the

hbo site after the show.

http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/

[SeattleGirl]

90. "They're selling you the same thing: fear."

Yup.

[IChing]

91. Can a man be born a hypocrite?

Nice ending with Haggart.

Get thee behind me satan

[SeattleGirl]

92. "Get thee behind me, Satan."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Liberal Veteran]

94. I will NEVER think of that line the same way again...

...but man I couldn't stop laughing.

[Greeby]

93. Watching Ask Bill online nt

[tularetom]

95. I don't think Jabba the Crowley liked Maher's new rule

about Haggerd and the religious wackos. When the camera showed the panel at the end she looked like she was sucking on a bushel of lemons.

[SeattleGirl]

102. That the same thought I had.

She did not look like a happy camper.

[gatorboy]

96. Huh. Well I guess he's not outing any Republicans tonite.

And I'm surprised that he didn't at least bring up CNN's edit of his interview on Larry King. That's not like him.

[Ice4Clark]

97. No mention of CNN censoring his appearance on the rerun?

No names revealed? bummer

[Athletic Grrl]

98. I'd imagine

a defamation lawsuit was threatened.

[gatorboy]

100. Pffft!!

Now that's not aimed at you but at the mere thought that some conservative could pull that off. I mean come on. They've been saying Clinton's a freakin' rapist for years and no one batted an eye. Hell they've been saying Democrats want everyone in America killed and that seems pretty defamation lawsuit worthy.

[Athletic Grrl]

104. Possibly, unlike the Pukes

Maher listened to somebody smart and took the high road on this one.

If Mehlman's gay, some former lover of his will out him without Maher's help. I personally don't like it when people are forcibly outed, even ones as vile as Mehlman or Haggard. But it's their own spewage that keeps people in the closet in the first place. Would that we lived in a society where anyone could live their life without fear of judgment.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

[EstimatedProphet]

99. I don't think tonight's show was very good

Maybe it's because we did so well...

[Justitia]

103. Well, I can't stand seeing people talking up The Gropenator & hailing him for President.

Quite sad to see people boasting about voting for him.

[DesertRat]

106. The panel was boring tonight

:boring:
