this week's first Bill Maher thread

[Bill McBlueState]

Here are Bill's guests tonight:

Tonight's guests - Rep. Heather Wilson, Former Ret. Texas Army National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett, James Moore - author of Bush's War For Reelection, actor Jason Alexander, actor Billy Baldwin and The Washingion Times' Deborah Simmons.

Aside from the actors, I don't know much about any of these people. Anyone care to enlighten me?

1. Heather Wilson's really making the rounds....

She is friggin' loopy!

Bill should have some fun with her!

[Brian Sweat]

8. Is she a wing nut? I am not familiar with her.

2. I didn't see your post at first and made a dupe

Bill Burkett is the guy who overheard that *'s records from Nat'l guards were being scrubbed

4. is Wilson a rethug?

I'm guessing Burkett, Moore & wilson will B by the screen - Alexander, Baldwin & simmons (Washington TIMES???) at the table. I am so tired of these Xtreme wingers on his show. I pay 4 HBO - if I wanted 2 see RW, I'd save my money and watch fux. Why does he try so hard 2 B balanced? Ree-dik-oo-lus

5. Two obvious conservatives are

Rep. Wilson & Deb Simmons. Bill Burkett and Moore are involved in AWOLgate. Billy Baldwin is a Democrat---dunno about Jason Alexader of Seinfeld fame---possibly conservative.

6. I don't think JA is very conservative

but I dont think of him having a leftist bent either

I saw him on Bill's old show a few times

7. Bill Bukett

I'm glad to see that Lt Col Burkett is out doing interviews. It will keep him from being "suicided" like some others.

11. You Will Be Disappointed.

Burkett is an extremely rigid interviewee and tends to use language that Mercans don't understand anymore. My wife and I watched him on Tweety last night. During the interview my wife looked over and said "I have no idea what the hell that guy is talking about." He is also not very telegenic. Look for Bill to make light of him and possibly even compare him to H. Ross Perot's running mate. Sorry, but I don't think this will be good.
