Hey East Coast and Mid-West. How was Real Time tonight? Worth watching?

[PlanetBev]

When it's good, it's real good. When it sucks, it ain't worth staying up late.

1. I suggest you stay up! This was one of the best shows Bill

has had!

[Mojambo]

2. Yeah, I'm curious too.

The panel doesn't sound real hot to me.

[tularetom]

3. Do you want a spoiler response or just yes or no

It's just OK but there is one REALLY outstanding moment.

[PlanetBev]

6. It's worth it for one outstanding moment

Gettin' ready to turn it on...thanks, guys.

[Vexatious Ape]

4. So far so good.

I'm watching the replay right now. His opening was great as usual, his guests are Harold Ford, Sean Penn and Gary Shandling.

[Nite Owl]

5. Sean Penn

was great, Gary Shandling was good too. Ignore Ford if you need to. Thompson was on satellite worth hearing what we are up against and then breathing a sigh of relief.

7. If you are on the W coast you don't have to stay up late

If you have HBO you can get the east coast feed. I saw it at 8 pm.

[Bozita]

8. Never ignore a Bill Maher show.

Tonight is just one more reason.

[fooj]

9. Don't miss it.

Sean Penn speaks TRUTH to POWER! He is my hero.

10. Was Harold Ford on the panel or via satellite?

Can't take much of him. Gee, I've been nice all day...so why did I go and say that?

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. He was on the panel.....

I thought it was funny when at the top of the show, Bill declared...No Republicans on the panel tonight. I kinda chuckled.

[madfloridian]

12. What did he say about Iraq?

If anything. He recently told a college group that leaving was not the answer, that we should divvy Iraq up into 3 parts.

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. pretty much his stock answer.....

something to the effect that it doesn't really matter how we got there, but he thinks we should look at tommy thompson's plan for splitting up the country, like you said. Ford has become such a tool, and his staunch support for Lieberman just makes me want to wretch.

[schrodinger_I]

13. It was a good show

Harold Ford didn't say much. Gary Shandling hogged the show.

[texpatriot2004]

14. Sean Penn is my hero nm

[texpatriot2004]

17. And he said this too, "they took an oath, not to any president but

to protect and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, and they are in violation of the United States Constitution" it was something like that.

Thank you Sean Penn. I agree 100%.

16. GORE/PENN 08

Edit...look at their records in days following the disaster in New Orleans and then look at what the GOP did for New Orleans.
