Bill Maher coming up on MSNBC...a MUST see!

[Wordie]

He SLAMS the Bush administration (as usual). It's an extraordinary interview (they had it on earlier, so I already saw it).

MSNBC Hardball...

10. Maher supports Bush wiretapping

There's an interview on the Real Time section of HBO.com where he defends Bush's wiretapping

I think we live in pretty dire times. You know some of my liberal friends are mad at me now again. They get mad at me from time to time because I take a stand that's against what they think is the Party Line. But I'm not against the NSA wiretapping of phone calls coming in from foreign countries.

Because, you know, it's terrible to invade people's privacy. You know what else would be terrible, if a dirty bomb went off in Long Beach. That would really put a crimp in my day.

I don't think George Bush is a good president by any imagination, but when he said, 'If you're talking to Al-Quaeda, we want to know what it's about,' it just proves one thing: If you're president long enough, you will one day say something that is true.


I think he just hasn't wrapped his arms around the fact that liberals aren't necessarily against wiretapping calls from Al Qaeda, but that Bush is breaking the law and not going to the special court that authorizes this sort of thing. Hopefully, a good guest will be on in the new season and break it down for him.

I posted the info about what the program was and that it was Bill Maher in the OP. If you want to see it, it's on quite late again tonight. Hardball, MSNBC. You could always tivo.

[LSK]

12. HEY BILL? WHATS WRONG WITH THE FISA COURTS???

For such a smart man, hes FUCKING IDIOT in this case! :grr:

[Wordie]

13. There are other things that Maher says that I disagree with vehemently...

I won't go into specifics, but the thing is, I forgive him for the things he says that I disagree with, because he is so often the only one saying things that need to be said. ...or at least, one of the few. And he says those things with such intelligence.

And he's so funny!

14. Bill Mahar is an ASS.

All he cares about is drugs and free sex.
