Maher -- "You came with some material."

While it lasts, guys. Grayson was delightful.

[zeemike]

1. The Huey Long comment was telling

He is a populist....just what we need more of.

[peacetalksforall]

2. Delightful is the perfect word. I feel I've known him a long time. I feel truth coming out. And

the wit topped Maher.

[Grassy Knoll]

3. That's fucked up about " any good muslim "

He will die for saying that , too bad, I really like him but he committed political suicide .

[travelingtypist]

4. I disagree.

I thought it was funny.

This is a Friday night satire show. Come on, lighten up.

:hippie:

[Grassy Knoll]

5. It was funny, but FAUX will rip him, you know they will , it's that catnip they need.

He just gave them a free bag of tar, it's what they are scratching for.

[travelingtypist]

6. You're right, they will.

And them grabbing that tar baby is exactly what we want them to do. It's another way to show the whack-nuts bat-crap crazy.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Well said, We will see, thanks though for posting . n/t

[EFerrari]

11. Trying to avoid feeding them has led the Democrats to a state of near speechlessness.

It doesn't work. It's just yielding the field.

[Enthusiast]

20. Fixed Noise will rip him anyway.

He is the enemy of the corporation, he must go DOWN.

[K8-EEE]

12. No -- he diffused it.

Only an idiot would do the whole "he's a muzz-lim!" thing. Even freepers are getting wise to that!

[ProgressOnTheMove]

17. It would of made more sense if he had said 'any good christian' but now he's opened it up to..

giving free license to teabeggers saying it's fine for them to call him that because Grayson did. He really didn't think that through(not that being muslim is bad it's just the right make hay with it in reality). He's still a good guy, but being an elected official there's no avoiding being careful about words. Anyway regardless of all that he needs to keep speaking the truth, as long as he makes the jokes more about the opposition he'll be alright.

[Enthusiast]

19. No, he was making a joke.

People are just too thin skinned. No one that says President Obama is a Muslim is taken seriously outside of Birther circles.

[vaberella]

7. I love this video. Oh wow...he made Maher look stupid.

I also liked the "Good Muslim" crack, it's decent political satire and FauxNoise can eat it. Not to mention Grayson has proven that he's extremely loyal to the President.

[Stardust]

9. Curious to know what Maher said that Grayson responded with, "Well,

I wasn't expecting that tonight." I think Maher, the King of Snark, dissed him.

I loved the "good Muslim" comment altho it might someday come back to bite him. I hope not. Grayson is a gigantic breath of fresh air.

[DutchLiberal]

24. Bill said he was just "testing" Grayson.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

10. I just wish

the interview had been longer and Maher had talked much, much less. He mighta gotten educated.

[bjobotts]

13. What the fuck is Maher's Problem? Acts more and more like an apologist for big business

[bjobotts]

14. All the studies showing how private Ins is profiteering and Maher comes up with this crap.

"your're right Bil;l. Damn Drs. over medicating and over testing us. We should focus on them not HC ins. They deserve to prolfiteer like the $1.7 BILLION Bill McGuire took home in one yr."

"It's not that cigarettes are poison and bad for us and extremely addicting...it's that people smoke too much...go after the people not tobacco cos"-Bill Maher logic.

Bet Grayson was surprised that Bill was being such an ass.

[tomm2thumbs]

15. Grayson was good and his comment was intelligent satire on GOP idiocy

What the outrage should be directed at is why Maher had Garry Shandling on his last show of the season. Shandling's attention-needy antics single-handedly ruined what could have been a great show on issues like health care and Afghanistan. No more shows until February at the earliest, and this was the last taste they left in our mouth? Pathetic.

[LittleGirl]

16. Grayson is my hero

And Maher...wow, he screwed up the segment right off the bat mocking Grayson's tie. Set the course for the whole "this is the most uncomfortable segment ever" I've seen on Maher. (maybe that's a stretch). Anyway, Maher was outwitted by Grayson and it appears Maher didn't like that. It was painful to watch because I like both guys and that was unexpected.

[AusDem]

18. i think the difference between a real democrat

and a liberal entertainer was very evident in that interview. Maher doesn't always know what he's talking about, but his heart is in the right place.

this grayson fellow on the other hand 24-carat progressive gold (at least from what i've seen and heard).

[Enthusiast]

21. Nice analysis, AusDem. nt

[2Design]

22. Bill seems to interview people and wanting them to be against the dems

Bill keeps trying to trip him up into saying negative things against dems and it is not happening

[DutchLiberal]

25. Bill's hard on ALL politicians, regardless of party affiliation.

[BigBearJohn]

23. I predict here and now that this guy will be President some day.

He sure has my vote. He is so refreshing.
First guy I've seen hold his own so well.

[DutchLiberal]

26. Which corporation would want to donate to him?

And would he be willing to get bribed to get elected?

If not, there's no way he'll ever become president, because he will never raise the idiotic amount of money one needs to run a presidential campaign (you know, a figure that's big enough to feed an entire African country). Just look at Kucinich: if you refuse to be bought, you have no chance.

[knixphan]

30. I'd still volunteer and canvass for him.

[Pool Hall Ace]

27. Phooey, video is no longer available. :(

[Stardust]
