Real Time with Bill Maher - Don't forget to take your Feign Feign...

[devilgrrl]

A Brilliant opening skit about the cure all for those who need feigned outrage over nothing.

[IChing]

1. Brillant Opening..great jokes

I hope it lasts..............and harder ..............LOL

[Cush]

Robert Greenwald up now (Iraq for Sale)

[devilgrrl]

3. It's about time someone discussed this.

Glad he's on.

[IChing]

6. He is brillant

Great Show before the elections

This raises my moral

[IChing]

5. Finally Bill gets it right or his staff does

great so far

[FyurFly]

2. The jokes just write themselves these days n/t

[Cameron27]

4. War for profit

that's what everything's about with these pigs.

[antonialee839]

8. War for profit and no oversight.

[SeattleGirl]

7. That was a great skit.

:rofl:

[IChing]

9. A nominated show so far

I nominate it.

A must see.

[IChing]

15. Great Show

That republican is toast
and the bread is not even out of the toaster yet.

Brilliant informed guests.

[antonialee839]

10. Yeah everything is about undermining the troops, I hate this asshole.

[Cameron27]

11. He switched from Halliburton to

the "French Company" real quick.

[devilgrrl]

12. Yep. The french company is the one robbing us blind!!!!

:sarcasm:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

13. I love how Kingston is trying to play a "moderate" Republican...n/t

[devilgrrl]

14. Can't wait until someone brings up Haggard...

love to hear his spin on the GOP's grip on "moral values"

[truebrit71]

17. Must be election season.....Darrell Issa was one a few weeks ago and sounded...

...almost moderate as well...

Fucking whores...

[Sydnie]

16. Alex Baldwin is right with Starve the Beast mentality!

Oops! there comes haggard!

[IChing]

19. This guy is great destroying himself

into a piece of black toast

Man this is good

[devilgrrl]

18. This Kingston spinning tax cut myths...

Democrats are going to raise your taxes and you'll all die!!!!


:eyes:

[SouthernBelle82]

85. Oh I wish I was there

If I was there and he said that b.s. about the republicans being the one's who did all the budget work I would ask him why almost a whole six years later have they not controlled the budget? If Bush vetoed anything if they tried to control spending they could over-ride that veto since they're the majority. They don't give a tinkers damn about the budget. A US History professor of mine last term in college made that suggestion and I thought about that and that is the question that popped up in my head. Of course a lot of rightwingers blame 9/11 but you can only do that for maybe two years tops and it's been pretty much five years later.

[truebrit71]

20. Quick show of hands, who here has been positively impacted by the tax cuts?

For me, my take home pay went up by $8....

I think I'll buy another yacht.....

[devilgrrl]

22. Not I. Everything costs more!!!!

:crazy:

[Cameron27]

21. Whoo Hoo

Poppy had to raise taxes, didn't he!

[devilgrrl]

23. Kingston's a complete idiot. My condolences to sane Georgians...

I'm so sorry that you have to put up with people as stupid as he is.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

25. OMG, now he's defending Trent Lott over Strom Thurmond..

What year is it???

[stopbush]

83. Kingston was one of two Rs they sent out to blame the Ds for Foleygate.

I remember him saying that Pelosi and Emanuel had this info and were responsible for releasing it as a political move.
He said something like, "Nancy Pelosi and Rham Emanuel should be given a chance to explain themselves and tell us
what they knew when."

Kingston plays a Gomer, but he's an absolute POS.

[stanwyck]

94. Sorry to say, Kingston

is one of the better Republicans we have here in Georgia. Of course, that's damning with faint praise. Afterall, we have Lynn Westmoreland, the Rep. who wants the Ten Commandments displayed in federal buildings, but, when pressed, could only name 3 of the Ten.
Or Phil Gingrey. (hope you didn't miss his rendition of Prissy from "Gone With the Wind" on The Colbert Report).
Actually, just about every Republican we have is worse than Kingston.
We're in pain, here.

[IChing]

24. Alex is brillant

and informed

deliver the line Kerry

as an actor that Alex lives in.

[greenbriar]

26. and he had the balls to say...the terrorist attack was on bush's watch

yes

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

82. I LOVED that line.

Sloppy doesn't work. The stakes are way too high. MKJ

[IChing]

27. This show needs to be on uTube ASAP

or Google

[Sugarcoated]

28. I can't believe that this guy wins elections

If you looked up slimey dickless spineless politician in the dictionary . . .

[bliss_eternal]

37. Isn't he nauseating...?

:puke:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

29. WTF is "smart" coal...

Good Lord, I feel sorry for all the constituents in the 1st CD in GA.
This guy is as dumb as a box of rocks...

[truebrit71]

33. That's an insult to dumb rocks...

....:rofl:

[Strelnikov_]

Well, It Ain't Gonna Emit Things To The Ozone

Guess the rest of the atmosphere is fucked, though, but, hey, we saved the ozone.

[IChing]

30. She is brillant also

Great Show

[IChing]

36. OK you guys suck.......Great Show and only 2 nominations n/t

[truebrit71]

43. I threw another one in...

...all better now? ;-)

[Cameron27]

31. This freak is driving me nuts.

No one can argue with him, he's a dope.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

32. It's about time that Mr. repub shut up...

His voice and his message are both extremely annoying.

[Sydnie]

34. I can see this guy running back with Baldwin's idea now

and calling it his own. Slimy prick!

[bliss_eternal]

46. Yeah, he'd do that.

I can totally see it. What's his deal?

[Sydnie]

47. His talking points aren't working and he doesn't know what to do

with himself.

[bliss_eternal]

67. He's just like the other rw harpies Bill takes pity on

by allowing them on the panel. They sit there regurgitating what the right has told them to think and believe. :eyes: So transparent. So predictable.

[bliss_eternal]

35. Hey gang--I'm just in time for Rosanne!

:hi:

[IChing]

40. She is great tonight I saw her special

she rocks.

[bliss_eternal]

42. It's airing this month...

I can't wait to watch it. She does rock!

[truebrit71]

41. Hey there!!!

:hi:

[bliss_eternal]

44. Hi'ya, truebrit!

:hi:

I had to futz around with the cable people on the phone. :eyes: I had this on in the background, but was going nuts because I wanted to log on and watch here with everyone! :)

[truebrit71]

51. Glad you finally made it!

.

[bliss_eternal]

Thanks!

I can't watch anymore unless I watch w/my DU buddies!

[Cush]

38. Roseanne: Our leaders what the world to end because their religion says it must happen

[Strelnikov_]

39. To Hell With Georgia, I Am Sorry To Inhabit The Same Country As This Twit

Where do they find these jingo laden talking point spewing idiots?

[stanwyck]

95. Where do they find them?

Here in Georgia. And I'm telling you, as far as our Republican politicians go, Kingston is the smart one. You wouldn't believe the Republicans we have here. They're unbelievable. The religious right and their racist brethren have ushered in the worst kind of conservative fundamentalists.
Maybe. Just maybe, we'll have a few less here on Wednesday.
Wish us luck.

[Guaranteed]

45. Roseanne really looks great.

She looks like a whole new person.

[bliss_eternal]

49. She's at peace w/herself now it seems...

...and no more dirt bag husband to support. :hide: Saw her on My Name is Earl last night. Great to see her working again!

LOVE to hear her speak up on behalf of average, everyday people. :thumbsup:

[IChing]

52. And she is talking her shit again...LOL

I saw her in Denver when she started.

OK, I like her a lot.

[truebrit71]

48. Don't forget to go to HBO.com afterwards for more..

...

[Sydnie]

50. who calls babies illegitimate anymore???

I'm surprised he just didn't go for the gold and call them bastard children.

:puke:

[FyurFly]

53. This guy is just offensive n/t

[bliss_eternal]

54. ...ass backwards idiots, with a personal agenda.

:mad:

I swear I need to move overseas.

[FyurFly]

56. This guy is a bigot period. n/t

[bliss_eternal]

59. No argument there.

:)

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

55. Or even "out of wedlock"..

Now 989,000 babies are disturbing.

No they're not Jack, people like you are disturbing..

:banghead: :banghead:

[bliss_eternal]

58. Out of wedlock makes my ears bleed...

:mad:

[IChing]

57. OK, this is the last show before the election

THANK YOU BILL

GREAT SHOW

[IChing]

60. Great Show

Even new rules

[bliss_eternal]

61. Like a guy throwing shit on you

and selling you relief from the flies.

:spray::rofl::spray::rofl::spray:

[EstimatedProphet]

62. I LOVE THESE TALKING POINTS!!

He's stomping the Evilpublicans!

[FyurFly]

64. Bill Rocks!

:headbang:

[SeattleGirl]

66. I love 'em too! The Dems would do well to USE THEM!

He is freakin' pissed!

[bliss_eternal]

69. I wish they would...

imagine a Dem saying, "I call bullshit on that!" during a debate or any sort of q&a between the right and left. We'd never hear the end of it--but it sure would make me feel good to hear it!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

72. I would absolutely love to hear a Dem say that!

I would be on my feet clapping, whistling, and cheering! :hi:

[bliss_eternal]

73. Hell yeah...!

...I would too! It would immediately be labeled as a "Great moment in Democratic History."

[IChing]

68. I think he defended himself on the Halloween Irwin costume

Respectively on the joke

[SeattleGirl]

81. I thought he did too.

Made his statement about it, and moved on.

[bliss_eternal]

63. Support the troops by

putting pressure on Washington to get them OUT OF this pointless nightmare!

Go, Bill!

:yourock:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

65. I do have to hand it to Bill, that was by far the best show

he's had in two years. Loved the closing part of New Rules...Especially the comment about New Orleans.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[bliss_eternal]

70. He kicked much ass tonight...

Special kudos go to Alec for smacking down the rw shill.

:yourock: Alec, Rosanne, and Bill!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

71. Yeah Alec Baldwin was on a roll tonight for sure.

My only nitpick was that AB Stoddard didn't really have much of a chance to get into the conversation. I'd love to have heard a little more of her insights...

[Bobbie Jo]

74. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant....n/t

[bliss_eternal]

75. Yes, she did seem to have some interesting insights.

I agree, that it would have been great to hear more of what she had to say. Maybe if that rw jack ass would have shut his mouth, so Alec didn't have to put him in check. LOL!

It was just too delicious to see Alec getting pissed off at that guy's idiocy, and watching him take him down a few pegs. :loveya:

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

76. ITA, Alec Baldwin was really good tonight.

I loved the comment about terrorist attacks. Had me :rofl:...

[bliss_eternal]

78. Check out his new show 30 Rock...

every now and then he get a little jab in against the right that makes me :spray:

He's awesome! I love that he doesn't shy away from challenging them on their crap.

[Gabi Hayes]

77. Insight? she was a complete ASS! did you hear what she said

about Kerry?

she LIED her ass off!

she completely ignored what he said about Bush before he made the remark about getting us stuck in Iraq....totally mischaracterized his words. she also mentioned the DEMOCRAT party. she really revealed herself for what she is tonight....she let slip her clear RW agenda, which she's much more careful about when she's on regular TV.

I actually SWORE loudly at the TV twice when she spewed her drivel...one was at the above snip; the other I can't remember. I haven't done that in awhile, but she elicited that from me tonight....now I'm mad again!

[devilgrrl]

79. I couldn't agree with you more...

I thought she was full of shit too.

Another thing she said that pissed me off was the comment about Democrats missing an opportunity to address Bush's failures. It is my opinion that Democrats have been addressing Bush's bungles but the "liberal" media chooses to ignore them. As they choose to ignore Robert Greenwald's films and the recent HBO special about Diebold voting machines.

[Gabi Hayes]

80. thank you! that was the other time I screamed at her.

I couldn't believe she said that! what about the HEARINGS various dems have had, without subpoena power, which included generals, contractors, etc., that the media refused to cover, the other hearings that swine like her colleague Dana Milbank SNEERED at, because they were held in basements.

things like THAT, that the liberal media chose to cover only to make fun of.

now I'm getting even MADDER!

[bliss_eternal]

87. Wow--

I missed a lot. Sounds like she may be a rw reporter, or at least biased to some degree. Sorry I missed her insanity.

[blm]

89. Dems have been pointing out Bush's failures since 2002 - most media

wouldn't report it, then they blame Dems for media's neglect to cover their statements pointing to Bush's failures.

Media sure knows how to do one thing really well - point the blame AWAY from themselves for not doing THEIR JOB.

[bliss_eternal]

86. No, I tuned in late...

so I missed most of what she said. I based my comment on the last 15mins. of the show.

Thanks for giving me a fuller representation of her remarks. I appreciate it! :hi:

[blm]

88. She BLAMED Kerry that it was a news story - typical RW ploy.

Kerry told that joke so many times before, and the media KNEW it - they even get prepared remarks that prove it - That woman LIED that Kerry let it go unexplained for two news cycles - he answered with the TRUTH right away and they stayed with Bush's lie.

What a great reporter she is, eh?

[wisteria]

91. She was a real piece of shit. What does she know?

She lied about how long it was in the news cycle without Kerry responding and that it took him to long to get out the proper wording. That is all bullshit. He responded right away and so did his office. The media chose to ignore it all and run with the Rove lies. And she is wrong, Kerry is far from over.

[SouthernBelle82]

84. I really liked that

It was pretty cute and so true. LOL.

[wisteria]

90. Maher was good, he defended Kerry and made sense out of

this stupid distraction. The other guests can go to hell. Kerry is far from done. That is wishful thinking on the part of the repub and that Hill reporter. And, Alex Bauldwin can go to hell for backing up and applauding Hillary's backstabbing of Kerry. Franky, Hillary is toast if Baldwin is backing her.

[K8-EEE]

92. We went to the taping and after the show...

Bill gave that moron GOP guy a chance to rebutt the laundry list about GWB that earned him the "retarded child emperor" title in the rant....well it was the most pathetic thing, he couldn't even do it. Bill goes, "well I'm sure it was hard for you sitting there listening to that, so I want to give you some time with the audience if you want to rebutt anything I said." The guy was like "well, um, I'm had no idea you felt that way about my party and um, the President, gosh, I'm just sorry you feel that way..." NUTHIN!!! NUTHIN!! GUY HAD NUTHIN! It was so weird too cuz the audience which as you heard was pretty vocal (including ME) was like, "awwww..." not even booing just a mass "you poor idiot bastard" murmur...strange! I did think it was one of the best shows and Alec Baldwin stuck around to talk a bit with the audience afterwards and he seems very sincere and down to earth.

I was pleasantly impressed with Roseanne Barr on the remote, who I had always thought of as unbearably shrill in the past, now I'd love to see her back as a panelist.

[MelissaB]

93. Thanks for the report.

I'd love to be in that audience one day.

[K8-EEE]

97. If you are ever in El Lay during Bill's taping give a holler!

It's real easy -- you just call them on the Monday before, they call you back and tell you to call on Wed to confirm. The only thing is you have to wait an hour and a half before hand but it's not too painful.

You get there at 6:30 and they park you on the benches outside studio 33 until 7:00, then they move you inside to the comfy seats and they have good audicen music (including my fave, John Lennon "Istant Karma")and it's kinda fun to watch them check the plexi remote thingee before the show and all that...

At 7:45 they show a warm up "best of" reel and the producer comes out to do a warm up jokes and stuff, he's a pretty funny guy. Since the show itself is live, they never stop tape like sitcoms do (seeing a half hour sitcom can take 2 hours with all the retakes and it's BORING!)

Really recommended best of L.A. activity IMO, and FREE doesn't hurt either! Then you can go home & try to find yourself in the audience at the latenight rerun!

[devilgrrl]

96. ...um, the President, gosh, I'm just sorry you feel that way...

Wow! Can you say passive/aggressive?????? Not only does the GOP feign outrage over nothing, they feign ignorance as well!

[K8-EEE]

98. That guy was just a total dweeb.

Alec Baldwin killed me when he cornered him on the gay marriage thing....
