1. My favorite commenter. Too bad I have to watch Wolfie, though...

Could it be that there's a part missing from the video? After Blitzer says Maher used a lot of material about Palin over the last year, we get a very hard, unnatural cut to Bill talking about his latest commentary 'New Rules' about health care, and he begins with: "Also", even though Blitzer didn't ask him anything.

Seems weird to me.

7. Whole segment kept stalling and buffering. Went over to You Tube and it was the same..
What's with the buffering delays? And You Tube only had 609 viewers...so it wasn't that all the internet was out their viewing the same clip at the same time.

:shrug:

15. How TF did Wolf get his job? He always seems to have an enormous stick up
his ass. And when Maher started talking about Biden , giving a cogent narrative, Wolf chimes in with, yeah, but what grade would you give him? Jeez Wolf - pathetic!

4. Blitzer has to be the most unintelligient interviewer on television.
You can clearly see he's trying to provike controversy. But you can't really expect much from a R-W'er anyway. I avoid his interviews as much as possible.

13. Blitzer is what you call pedestrian.
lacking in vitality, imagination, distinction, etc.; commonplace; prosaic or dull: a pedestrian commencement speech.

9. Wolf was clearly irritated
that Bill did not give answers more closely approximating 'official' CNN views. Someone thinking outside the box is a shock to Wolf.

Isn't it obvious why Bill Maher and Phil Donahue are no longer available to regular broadcast TV viewers? These guys deviate from the official script and that simply cannot be tolerated. And all the while we must listen to the insane views of GOPers 24/7 on nearly every channel. Pretty clear to me that there is a media wide agenda.

10. Not only does Maher have a knack for being spot on,
he's also extremely courageous. Who else would say on nationwide TV that this is a stupid country.

It's funny to watch Blitzer ask Maher to explain that comment, as if it's indefensible or something.

12. Two Disgusting Little Men
capitalism just stole trillions of dollars from the people of this country and now the bankers and their friends are saying we can't afford single payer healthcare. Then this fool Maher comes on to impress us with his theoretical economic knowledge by claiming capitalism is the best system ever.

What planet is this guy on right now? Trillions of dollars handed over to the bankers = the best system?

14. CNN has nothing to counter the MSNBC evening news team.
So they are testing the market with Bill Maher. But Bill Maher is too free-thinking for CNN.
