Great Bill Maher quote
I especially like the last part


"And finally, New Rule: President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito, must bomb an abortion clinic. I know it sounds crazy, but the right wing needs assurance that they've really got their holy man this time. ...
Is Sam Alito a decent man with Christian values? Well, until he kills a nurse with a pipe bomb, there's no way to be sure. Because there is nothing you can say to a real conservative to convince him abortion should ever be acceptable other than, "Your daughter is pregnant and the father is black."

6. I do too, but he has more time off than Bush!
Seriously. He needs to do that show more full-time.

7. He also goes on the road though
Remember, he's a touring comedian. I don't know if he's been on the road during this current hiatus, but I know that's often the case.

13. Well when scrub's not in the WH, he's on tour
Who can forget his guitar solo in San Diego during hurricane Katrina.
Or, his croon along at John McCain's party.
Or his impersonations of Charlie Chaplin as he falls off his bike or runs over a cop everytime he gets on his bike.

He's on tour too.

10. I could watch him 7 nights a week.
I don't know if it's HBO or if it's his choosing to not be on that much,but his show is great and should be on more. I wish he would cut out the new rules segment and interviewing by satellite. It sure takes up the time from the panel. That 55 minutes goes fast. You would think they could give him a full hour but they don't.

3. I know some people here don't care for him,
but I think Bill Maher just ROCKS. I loved his "I'm Swiss" special.

5. His greatest line
at least that I've seen was him telling Andrew Sullivan that when the fundies had total control they would "make him pray until he liked pussy". Forgive me ladies, it's a quote.

17. haha!!
I remember that one!

Andrew Sullivan is an interesting guest. I don't always agree with him but I try to listen to what he has to say. Since he's gay and also a conservative, I think he has an interesting perspective.

8. he comes up with a lot of good ones..........
Back when people were so steamed about the 2000 election, he was talking about the importance of choosing a leader.

It was something like.........we must take great care when we choose a leader because he might do something crazy like start a war!!

Real time should be back about mid February.
