1. Maher called it right let's enjoy these days while we can as there is much work to do on the flip >

side.

2. "AND SUNDAY!" bwaahahaha

Bill needs a nightly show - Comedy Central, where are you?

[AllHereTruth]

7. He has a nightly show

Its on HBO M-F if you didn't know.

You can catch full episodes on youtube a few hours after it airs.
'Real time with Bill Maher'

[Laurab]

11. It's actually a weekly show - reruns for the rest of the week.

It's also on hiatus until February.

15. Your right. N/T

3. Whoa....Arianna does NOT have a future in television....

She's a charming lady, and I love her accent; but she is about as good at doing interviews as the idiot in the White House is at being president.

Lol....I had to laugh at her. I love Bill Maher, and I DO agree...we need to hold Obama accountable too to getting us out of the sewer. A BIG job ahead of him.

[ksimons]

4. true, you could see it in Bill's waiting for the first question to come out

I think he caught himself about to shake his head like 'WHY ME?!' hahahah

[ksimons]

9. okay, watched all the msn rachel show vids with Huffington

please, please, please keep her away from the television unless she is being asked a question. she cannot and I repeat cannot host a show where she has to read teleprompters. I love her website, her appearances on Maher's show, etc, but watching all the segments tonight on msnbc was T O R T U R E - oh my God - please never again. And take Courtney Hazlett with you - how did SHE get a comedy-spot gig on MSNBC - I can only imagine.

Okay, now that I have expressed that, I feel much better. Love you Arianna, but you are NOT a natural with reading news.

5. Well, at least she's pretty for an older lady.

And, yeah, I love her accent too.

[jwlashta]

10. It's pretty bad...

It just sounds like she's reading from a teleprompter. Perhaps Maddows had someone replace her for the night who couldn't steal her thunder.

[DeSwiss]

6. Nice job Arianna....

...and Bill's, just Bill. Gotta love 'em.

- K&R!!!

[snake in the grass]

8. Arianna Huffington...

...has a Clinton syndrome that borders on the pathological. I can't visit her site anymore.

[Piewhacket]

12. Wonderful interview Arianna. Smart lady. rec

[sallyseven]

13. She need a a gag for her stupid

mouth. She gets dumber and dumber every year. She use to be understandable now she is not. That phony accent. What the hell is Bill Maher doing slumming?I don't go to her web site any more because of her attitude toward the Clintons. It was just too obnoxious. We lived in good times with Bill and Hillary. But then what do you expect from a woman too stupid to realize she was married to a Republican gay guy. He was a congressman to boot.

[Piewhacket]

14. Shes hosts a main progressive site and isn't even close to stupid.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm well educated and thought
her questions were quite sophisticated, even if oddly
addressed to a comedian.

Rather far above the usual drivel questions. A
sophisticated "interview" technique. True, the questions
were laden with suppositions aimed at tweaking the
beard of the right. But then, what's wrong with that?
Whatever she once was, she's a progressive now.

Still it wouldn't have worked at all if the comedian wasn't
pretty bright himself. Fortunately, Bill is so it did.

In any event, "shut your mouth, you lyin, stupid b*" may be
an appropriate response to Sarah Palin (for sure!), but using
that in response to Ariana would say more to me about the speaker
than her. Don't you think so?

Just my two inflatocent's worth.

[Quantess]

16. What has Arianna Huffington ever done to you?

....Oh... She's not a Hillary Clinton fan, so now she's the scourge of the earth. I get it.

[russspeakeasy]

17. Bill hasn't been funny for 10 years and Arriana

sounds like Palin with an incompressible accent
