1. starting now.

[countmyvote4real]

47. Kudos to Senator Jan Schakowsky.

She is really holding her own here.

[TwilightGardener]

76. Think she's a Rep, not a Senator.

[countmyvote4real]

85. You're right. My bad. But she impressed me enough to believe she could be a senator.

[TwilightGardener]

86. I like her too--very no-nonsense and well-spoken.

3. Hope it's good tonight

I really need something funny.

[B Calm]

4. Drew Carey, isn't he a repuke?

[AlCzervik]

5. today posters said he is a libertarian, so yes he's a republican.

[Sydnie]

7. Yep, he is n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

16. Sure is. .n/t

[B Calm]

6. I like to see him have Malloy and Hartmann on his show.

[Mojambo]

8. Sounds like it could be a good show

I've heard Carey is a republican, but I find it hard to believe he's much of a Bush apologist.

I guess we'll see.

[Cush]

9. lol, 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

[AlCzervik]

10. Chuck Hagel up now.

[AlCzervik]

11. Hagel says McCain has a lot of Charm--hmm.

[Cush]

12. President Godzilla

[AlCzervik]

13. Hagel doesn't seem very enthusiastic about the congress's ability to stop Godzilla.

[TwilightGardener]

14. I don't get HBO--did Hagel call Bush President Godzilla?

[Cush]

15. Maher did

[CatWoman]

17. THAT was fucking hilarious

:rofl:

[malaise]

24. Damn Hagel was good n/t

[Nite Owl]

18. Think that's the first time

I've ever seen Hagel smile!

[AlCzervik]

22. the ease of a man who can say what he wants, i wish they all would and i wish

they would all vote like they aren't running again and actually do the people's business.

[Nite Owl]

30. I know, something happens

when they arrive in DC. They lose the whole point of their running for office in the first place.

[TwilightGardener]

23. Years as my Senator, and I've only seen it once, in a photo.

[AlCzervik]

19. geez Bernstein brought notes on Hagel.

[Mojambo]

20. Old school reporter. n/t

[Zomby Woof]

21. Carey hasn't even spoken

And yet he still annoys me with his smug arrogant prick Republican face.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

27. He annoys me too. Him and the actress who plays the wife on Everyone Loves Raymond. ...n/t

[AlCzervik]

29. She needs a giant cup of Shut the fuck up.

[TwilightGardener]

32. Patricia Heaton. I used to like her until I found out her party affiliation.

[AlCzervik]

34. "Everybody hates Deborah"

[CatWoman]

31. !!!

:hi:

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

25. "We're like stalkers, we can't ever leave a place" lol.

[CatWoman]

26. the 36 countries:

Kidnation :rofl:

Margaritaville :rofl:

Scarborough country :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

28. Rasmussen does the polls for Drew Carey's game show--i'm not shocked i tell ya, not shocked!

[AlCzervik]

33. Berntstein just mentioned the 2 soldiers out of the 7 that wrote the oped and were

killed in iraq.

[AlCzervik]

35. Drew Carey defending congress people saying their kids are serving,

[AlCzervik]

36. and Carey "hardly ever meets a democratic marine" hmm.

[TwilightGardener]

38. Well, as of tonight I used to like Drew Carey too.

[AlCzervik]

42. yes, pour the second cup of Shut the fuck up and pass it on down to Drew.

[TwilightGardener]

43. Indeed. And choke on it.

[Longhorn]

64. My son is a Democratic Marine! nt

[devilgrrl]

98. Wouldn't Paul Hackett qualify as a "Democratic Marine"?

What a tool.

[AlCzervik]

99. Drew doesn't get out of his bubble much it would seem.

[devilgrrl]

100. You'd think Drew would know that being from Ohio and all.

He's a twit.

Though, in his defence - he wasn't nearly the asshat I thought he'd be.

[AlCzervik]

101. yeah, he didn't get much camera time which is a good thing.

[CatWoman]

37. what the fuck is Drew Carey talking about???

asshole!!!!

says there are plenty of Congress offspring serving in Iraq, and he's never met a liberal Marine.

what a fucking dunce!!

[AlCzervik]

39. reading the talking points sent to him by the RNC no doubt.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

46. Thanks for this blow by blow of the show, I don't get HBO either.

[stanwyck]

44. The "latrine poll" during the 2004 election

while my son was in Iraq was over whelmingly for Kerry, the guy who had actually been in combat. Drew is working off very old information. He needs to meet some of the younger Marines, the ones who've been to Iraq.

[rodeodance]

40. oh, I do love Jan.

[stanwyck]

48. She's great! n/t

[stanwyck]

41. You're wrong, Drew. My son is a Democratic Marine

a very ardent Democratic Marine. And he's had three tours in Iraq. And, Drew, he's not alone.

[Horse with no Name]

54. So is my brother

:)

[AlCzervik]

45. Jan "Fear is the friend to this administration" damn right Jan.

[AlCzervik]

49. Berntein is making some excellent points.

[TwilightGardener]

50. I saw the You-tube of the last show. Hope this one is going better.

I didn't like Maher's guests much last week.

[Gabi Hayes]

56. that was, without question, the worst Maher show I've ever seen.

I had to force myself to watch, and it was brutal, embarrassingly bad

[TwilightGardener]

58. Yes, I thought parts of it were stilted and uncomfortable, and other

parts just borrrring.

[Tinksrival]

51. I can't believe their still on this......

It's time to move the topic to IMPEACH

[Sydnie]

52. I loved Carl before and I love him more now

He is amazingly on target everytime I hear him speak!

[countmyvote4real]

53. Bad haircut on Robert Draper. n/t

[countmyvote4real]

57. R Draper on *: "an unwillingness to face realities."

Pretty much sums it up for me.

[CatWoman]

63. yeah

he was the only moron in the country who thought the GOP would hold onto Congress.

Idiot!!

[stanwyck]

65. He had an excellent quote on The Daily Show

He said Bush is very pleased with the person he believes himself to be, though he is actually the opposite of that person.

[TwilightGardener]

66. In other words, he's fucking delusional.

[AlCzervik]

68. he's so many things and i am so tempted to buy that book i am living under a self

imposed moratorium on Bush books of any kind---i have so many of them.

[Blue_In_AK]

90. I just started reading it...It is infuriating! n/t

[AlCzervik]

55. omg this is hilarious, Maher asking Draper about Bush's supposed charm.

[AlCzervik]

59. "Is Bush lonely because of the office or because he's a surly douchebag" LOL

[TwilightGardener]

61. "Surly Douchebag"--that one is now in my lexicon!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

62. it brought a tear to my eye.

:rofl:

[CatWoman]

60. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

asshole Bush can't tell his right hand from his left!!! :rofl:

[CatWoman]

67. drew carey is a fucking idiot

where did they get this moron?

Using FEMA as an example of govt. run programs?

hey Drew - buy a fucking clue. FEMA worked just fucking FINE when the Dems were in the WH.

What a goddam uninformed idiot.

[TwilightGardener]

69. Yep--I thought FEMA was gutted and staffed with cronies (Brownie)

during Chimpy's reign.

[AlCzervik]

70. the good thing about him--he didn't speak much.

[TwilightGardener]

71. Wonder why? Usually can't shut him up.

[AlCzervik]

73. clearly he was intellectually out gunned.

[Gabi Hayes]

72. he has one redeeming quality:

Craig Ferguson

EDIT: Eric Idle on his show tonight. hope he does his Prince Charles bit. ever seen that?

[AlCzervik]

74. i love Craig!

[Gabi Hayes]

75. his monologues are pretty genius....

he really makes them seem made up on the spot

[CatWoman]

77. I catch Craig every now and then

I love that guy!!

:hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

81. I don't see it much, but when I do, I'm always amazed at his monologue.

just set the VCR for M-F.

trying to get away from the politics lately....what am I doing here, right? I can't sleep if I watch/listen/read about this crap too late at night...

should I 'watch' the rerun of Maher (I dropped HBO, but can still hear it, with scrambled screen)? sounded pretty good

how are you?

[Liberal Veteran]

78. Oh goody...Jenene Garafalo and Rob Thomas next week.

That should be good.

[countmyvote4real]

94. Really? I can hardly wait. That will be good.

I hope they are the on panel rather than the sat feed. I am in need of a Garafalo fix.

I miss the "majority report." Her occasional appearances on "Seder on Sunday" are not enough.

[Kceres]

79. Once again, Maher has proven he is a mysogist pig.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

82. He just had to fixate on women's breasts, yet again.

I get tired of it, too.

MKJ

[Kceres]

84. I guess I should count to ten before I post, but that felt personal.

I am sick of so-called enlighten, progressive men who still think the only good breasts are exploited breasts. For God's sake.

[shanti]

87. yes

last weekend, he really got slammed! sista gave him NO slack!

[Kceres]

91. Unfortunately, I missed that.

You know, I expect that shit from right-wing assholes like Tucker Carlson.

[Blue_In_AK]

92. I haven't seen it yet,

but Bill does take cheap shots sometimes, almost as if he feels obligated to make the same kind of jokes that everybody else does.

I still enjoy his show, though. He's right most of the time. Nobody can be perfect.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

93. He was freaking out about women breast feeding in public. Saying a dog could make a baby.

Not his finest moment. MKJ

[Blue_In_AK]

96. Oooh, ouch!

Sounds like he's got some issues in that area. Maybe his mother stopped nursing him too soon.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

97. LOL, mommy issues, for sure!

:rofl: MKJ

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

83. In overtime he was talking about Britney Spears and called her a fat divorce.

Fat? No wonder women have horrible body images when men consider Britney fat.

[shanti]

88. exactly

britney shouldn't have had that outfit on, but fat she's not. and if she was, who freakin cares? :shrug:

[Horse with no Name]

89. He isn't the only one

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1811665&mesg_id=1811665

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

95. Thanks. I just responded on that thread. eom

[stanwyck]

102. His most glaring flaw. H really has no clue

about women. He said once that women were always jealous of each other and could never really be friends. He reiterated that he really believes this. And I can tell you from my own years of experience, this is totally, and insanely, a lie. My women friends are one of the great joys of my life. We're there for each other. Many of us live thousands of miles from our parents, brothers, and sisters. So, we make a close family of our own. We love our husbands and boyfriends passionately. But our friendships are a crucial component of our strength and happiness.
If Maher can't understand that, he truly has a serious character flaw.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

80. Overtime on now.
