Bill Maher's Show Tonight a Huge Disappointment

[SoCalDemGrrl]

I was so looking forward to the new season of Bill Maher's show.

What a disappointment!! Did he really go to the RIDICULOUS Notre Dame Football players "scandal of the week" story...

NO NO BILL say it isn't so - you should not have spent even ONE MINUTE on this NON STORY OF THE DAY!!!!

AND- the guest line-up - - - - - Jeez MICHELE CARUSO CABRERA with the fake tan- OH PLEEEZE -

not a pretty site and her commentary was less than stellar.....

The guest representing the Palestinain perspective was the most sanguine of the bunch (save Martin SHort who is always wonderful)

The Republican male rep was akin to a baying walrus - -

The show was at best a disgrace- - - - BILL - FIRE YOUR PRODUCER STAT!!!!!!!!

1. His commentary on guns control was lame. nt

7. He was a bit of a downer

2. Seriously? I thought it was one of the better shows....

There were no extreme right wingers on the show. LaTourrette is a moderate Republican and in today's age, he sounded like a democrat. I guess I enjoyed it because of the punchlines on Lindsey Graham and Mark Sanford as I am from SC.

3. It went downhill

after the interview with Bob Kerry.

The panel was pretty lame - what was with the CNBC climate change apologist?

Maher seemed to "phone it in"

4. ...

That CNBC lady hardly said a word. It was mostly just Maher, Short, and Jabreal.

5. i agree

Not very funny. I did like his guest at the end. The pretty Palestinian. Smart and informative.

6. Completely agree.....

If people like her get more exposure, it will bring about much more balance on issues we hear about in the media.

8. The New Rules were GREAT

but good luck waking John Q Sleepwalker up and making him realize that while he's been howling about his right to own popguns, all this other rights have been stolen out from under him.

9. I thought the Palestinian lady (Jabreal?) had a good line, when

she told Bill it was his show and he could be as vulgar as he pleased, after he said Israel was out-$^*@%&$ Palestine!

11. I believe it is the ultra orthodox jews who are producing big families

They do not go in the Army and they get subsidies. They may not even pay taxes. anyone on DU know more on this?

10. Not my favorite either, but he's been off awhile and might have had some tough holidays.

Hopefully, he'll hit stride next time.
