‘Real Time’ Panel Goes Nuts Trying To Convince Bill Maher Obama Is Anti-Military



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/real-time-panel-goes-nuts-trying-to-convince-bill-maher-obama-is-anti-military/


Bill Maher tried to capture what he saw as the Republican reaction to President Obama’s State of the Union address this week with words, calling Republicans “sourpusses” and describing their reaction as “unprecedented.” But he only truly captured what he was trying to say by making this face– at once childish and elderly– as his panel descended into disarray, with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher trying to explain his party’s attitude and Kennedy making the point that parties don’t matter, while a mum Martin Bashir looked on. ... SNIP

I couldn't stand that Kennedy person! Martin Bashir just sat there while she ranted and Rohrabacher (who was strangely dressed, btw) was rolling his eyes. I would have been interested in hearing more of Bashir, but he was a total dud.

Between the woman who was *yelling* over everyone and the puka shell/hawaiian shirt guy - that was worse than watching FOX.

Dear lord.

was all over the fucking map. Maher definitely (or maybe deliberately) completely lost control Not good on a panel discussion. It reminded me of Fox and Friends getting into a cat fight.

But since the early 1990s...? I wonder how she got on the show. Another guest must have cancelled last minute and she was the only one available.

Isn't that brilliant, I tell you?

Not the greatest line in the hopes of a comeback. Neither is that Demi Moore look.
