That Rohrbacher guy on Bill Maher tonight
Is that an actor pretending to be an idiot, or did some state actually elect that guy to be their representative?

Come on...

Reagan's speechwriter?

I don't think that guy can read, let alone write.

Seriously?

1. I've heard people joke about Rohbacher, but had no idea how stupid he is!
He repeated Bush's daily speeches better than Bush does. The guy is fucking moran!

3. He's a Congressman from CA
He's an embarassment to us.

He's really dense, and has drunk very deeply of the chimpbutt flavored Kool-Aid.

What an idiot!

5. He's an embassment to the entire human race
Edited on Sat Apr-01-06 12:03 AM by C_U_L8R
but he sure can memorize every single of KKKarl's talking points...
even if he didn't seem to understand what they mean.
Must be one of the older implants.

4. The liberal woman was pretty embarassingly dumb as well
"oh yes, look at Serena Williams".

Awful panel after last weeks amazingly good one.

6. The "liberal woman" is Erica Jong
a well known writer of the 70s.

The problem with the panel is that Maher wants to have comedians saying serious things, or serious people being comedians and it really does not work. There is only one Al Franken, and he has his own show.

15. It was a bad panel this week
Erica Jong was an airhead, Seth Green was playing the part of a GenX slacker, and ole Dana R.-well 'nuff said. I noticed this time Maher didn't let him get away with his lies.

27. Erica Jong is far from dumb
She is certainly a hell of a lot smarter than that idiot repuke.

11. B-1 Bob was actually talking about running against him in 2004
That would have been one very funny primary!

29. Did he run twice?
I know there was a big recount dispute. I remember watching him on c-span every night making rambling nonsensical speeches to an empty house chamber.

10. Neither knowledge nor wisdom is required for today's GOP
Don't even ask about compassionate or curious.

This asshole's meal ticket gets punched for being so good at memorizing talking points.

17. He supposedly met a young Osama Bin Laden back in the 1980s
when he was Ronald Reagan's special liason to the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. He was charged with coordinating the covert assistance provided by the U.S. to the militant fundamentalists that Reagan organized to fight the Soviets. I was disappointed that no one asked him about his meeting with Bin Laden and asked him whether organizing and radicalizing Islam was worth it.

18. What do Rohrabacher and George Allen
Edited on Sat Apr-01-06 01:20 AM by LibDemAlways
have in common besides being rw idiots? Both are graduates of Palos Verdes High School in Southern Cal - training ground for wingnut repuke politicians.

25. That was the most painfully embarrasing show
that Maher has ever had. If he ever has Erica Jong on again, I will start writing very angry letters (and I like her work.) I finally just shut it off...didn't get to hear the rules.

What's frightening is that Dana R. is representative of the RW kooks out there....there are millions just like him. He sounded like a caricature of RW stupidity, avoiding answering questions directly, and spewing talking points off of the top of his head.

An interesting interview was with the Latino broadcaster....what was his name again?....anyway, he came out and said the obvious, that in a few generations, Latinos will be in the majority in this country, not white Anglos. That is what the pukes are really afraid of, that Amurka will be brown. Also amazing was that his nightly news has a greater audience than those of ABC, NBC and CBS combined. Univision?

26. The show wasn't Maher's greatest work but his final rant in the
New Rules was great. He lit into Chimpy and didn't let up. Can't wait to see the video or a transcript of it. I looked at DanaRepug and he was pissed at the end of the show with Maher's tirade of Chimpy. Wasn't smiling, looked like he would like to bite Bill's head off and couldn't say a damn word. He tried to filibuster the entire show with his Roveian talking points and he didn't like uppity peons stealing his thunder.

New Rule - anyone who served as a speech writer for Nixon, Reagan, Bush 41 or Chimpy is not allowed to offer an opinion, run for office or be used as an "expert" in any capacity by anyone forever. They should spend the rest of their sorry lives atoning for their sins.
