Reminder: Bill Maher is back on HBO in 15 min

[question everything]

Can't wait for all his "catching up"

[SeattleGirl]

1. He's gonna be busy tonight!

Can't wait!

[AlCzervik]

2. can i stand Stephen Hayes for an hour? We'll see.

[Nite Owl]

3. But Tim Robbins

is on and he's great.

[AlCzervik]

4. yeah, hopefully Tim can get him to pipe down and not monopolize the hour.

[Kajsa]

5. I can't wait-

--but I have to, for a little over three hours.

Man, I have missed Maher!

;-)

[AlCzervik]

6. do you have hbo? i'm in ca so i watch the east coast hbo feed.

[Kajsa]

52. Yes I do.

I'm in CA, too.

How do you get the east coast feed?

Wow- you mean I can watch him at 8:00 PDT?

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

54. you can, i have comcast and the first channel for hbo is the east coast feed.

[Kajsa]

56. I use to have Comcast, they changed to Time-Warner.

I hope the first HBO channel has the east coast feed.

Thanks!

:hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

7. fffffff Stephen Hayes. why not John Nichols? why do creeps like Hayes get ANY

air time, as opposed to Nichols who wrote a book about Cheney that has the advantage over Hayes' hagio of being FACTUAL.

when his book came out a few years ago, I didn't see him on a single show. he made a few radio appearances, but I never saw him on TV

what a surprise. I hope Maher did a little homework, for a change, so he can factually challenged the fusillade of bullshit which will doubtless emanate from Hayes' cakehole.

[rurallib]

8. Wow - after a great hour of Moyers - I am in lib heaven.

[Cush]

9. non working mic brought to you by the Bush administration

[Cush]

10. Ted Nugent still has concerts?

[AlCzervik]

11. yay sound!

[Cush]

12. its not TV, its HBO...TV has sound

[AlCzervik]

13. Stephen Hayes---spin, spin,spin. At least he's not getting away with it.

[AlCzervik]

14. Michel Martin is also very good.

[devilgrrl]

16. Actually, I find her rather disappointing

:-(

[minkyboodle]

22. seconded

Actually this whole panel has been disappointing, Martin for the reasons stated
by OmmmSweetOmmm, Robbins for being too simplistic (I like him IMO he is just off
tonight) and Hayes for his predictable bullshit. Also as far as I know most polls
asking Iraqi's if they want US withdrawal have consistently shown a majority want
us out. Maybe I'm out of date but I think a small majority wants us out so Bill
was wrong on that.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I don't think she's very good at all. To think that mistakes were made and not lies?

She is either stupid or complicit.

[AlCzervik]

20. she jumped on a few of the things he was trying to spin, like how everyone

was in favor of the war, "The polls showed that".

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

29. Actually there were polls showing 75% for but that's because most people believed

the Hayes lie that Iraq was behind 9/11 and that Iraq was going to try to blow us to kingdom come. Here in NY the percent was much less but in other parts of the country it was high.

[AlCzervik]

15. holy shit Robbins is calling Hayes out big time!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Tim Robbins knows who Hayes is and what he's done and he's not letting Hayes

get away with anything! Most of Maher's past guests wouldn't have a clue who Hayes is.

[minkyboodle]

27. this is true

he is doing better, I thought he got off to a rough start. Hayes
deserves this treatment so I'm glad Tim is dishing it out

[Yavin4]

17. "That's An Awful Lot of Fuck Up" -- Tim Robbins

I am stealing that line.

[CatWoman]

21. get in line, bud!!!

:)

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

23. Huckabee--"God created the heavens and the earth:" oy.

[CatWoman]

24. have you ever seen a monkey????

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

26. stunning.

[CatWoman]

30. however,

I have to give him props for his compliments towards the Clintons and Chelsea.

[AlCzervik]

32. he showed some human qualities there.

[Liberal Veteran]

33. Beat me to it by a nanosecond, catwoman.

:D

[CatWoman]

34. na na na, boo boo!!!!

:hi:

[question everything]

51. And for saying that asking candidats in a debate to raise hands

or to answer yes or no is stupid.

There are many, in all religions, who are willing to accept evolution - as a design by a creator - and I think that he can get many votes of the church going crowd.

[Liberal Veteran]

25. Huckabee....backtracking on evolution stance.

He's an ass.

[minkyboodle]

28. yep

and a clown who thinks he's god because of a fricking straw poll

[Liberal Veteran]

31. Points to Huckabee for standing up for Clinton's marriage and Chelsea.

But he's still and ass (as denoted by the R after his name)

[minkyboodle]

35. Michelle Martin

she is annoying the shit out of me tonight (re: Vick)
and I have liked her in the past but man she is wound up
tight tonight and IMO wrong.

[AlCzervik]

36. that last bit on Vick ruined it for me in terms of Michel. I am glad they're talking

about Murray.

[minkyboodle]

38. agreed

Hayes has no shame, actually defending the appointment, unreal!

[AlCzervik]

37. oh christ, did she defend Stickler?

[minkyboodle]

39. lol yep

pretty amazing

[AlCzervik]

40. well i withdraw my previous positive comments about her--wow talk about disappointing.

[minkyboodle]

42. I'm with you

I've seen her before and had a positive impression, tonight
she was a complete and utter disappointment

[CatWoman]

41. Susan Sarandon is on very lucky, EXTREMELY lucky woman

Tim Robbins is da bomb!!

[AlCzervik]

43. no more wearing Crocs! Omg lol!!!!

[devilgrrl]

44. I can't believe people wear those things!

:crazy:

[AlCzervik]

45. unless someone is gardening i can't understnad why people wear them.

my god they're everywhere.

[devilgrrl]

46. More plastic crap for landfills.

:eyes:

[Cush]

47. hockey players wear them in 'Pre'-Pre Game warmups

For the Caps Alex Ovechkin has been wearing them since he came over for the 05/06 season. Before the actual pre-game skates he'd be out there on the ice wearing his crocs and either passing or shooting a puck w/ a teammate

[judaspriestess]

48. I hated the red herring martin threw out with

kids are dying in school yards etc to divert attention from the heinous crime vick has committed. whether he admits full guilt or not a crime was committed.

speaking for myself, I am a complex individual and I get angry about MANY, MANY things including kids senselessly killed and michael vick being a fucking animal killer, the war in iraq etc. Its bullshit when someone tries to corner someone into only being angry about one fucking thing at a time. fuck you.

[Gabi Hayes]

49. hahahaha. amen to that. the best part is she had the audacity to pipe up with that

bs about wifebeating, big city murders, etc., AFTER she said she wasn't going to talk about it anymore, because her HUSBAND is Vick's lawyer!!!!!!

talk about chutzpah

and that crap about who would be better a mine safety chief than stickler because he's in the industry?

she also kept insisting that Stickler was a MINER. not mine owner, but MINER. I'd like to see what sort of miner he was. can you imagine that guy EVER working a shift as a regular coal miner? he wouldn't last fifteen minutes

Martin is the worst kind of tool, a wonderful example of just how corrupt the M$M is....just another court stenographer

[devilgrrl]

50. Absolutely! Positively!

A total tool.

What a let down.

[Kajsa]

53. I have no idea what she was trying to do, here.

The argument about " the greater issues" vs Vick pissed me off, too!
Like we can't care about all of them?

I got her point about the 'Castrate Vick' signs pushing buttons,
but- we aren't talking about civil rights here, we're talking
about torturing and killing dogs for profit and "fun"
--She forgot that completely.

Stickler is a third generation miner? Has he ever gone deep into a mine?
I don't think so.

Robbins was great. I loved his comment regarding not keeping a person on
in a job where they repeatedly mess up, big time.

To the best of my knowledge,that doesn't fly in the private sector,

I loved the New Rule regarding Crocs. LOL.

Ahh- having Bill back to SO GOOD!

;-)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

55. In retrospect, I really wish Bill would have reported on the FISA Amendment and

how our Fourth Amendment was attacked.
