Real Time tonight; one of the best shows ever.
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 10:12 PM by Atman
Began with Maher destroying Grover Norquist, then a wild, raucous discussion panel, especially Dr. Cornell West, literally jumping from their chairs as they listened to cross-eyed Ron Cristie defend everything from Bush's war to the rich people on Wall St.

I know a lot of people on DU hate Maher, but this show was fantastic!

2. I'm pissed. The live stream I normally watch isn't working tonight.
I think who ever runs the channel must be watching baseball tonight ;(

5. Thanks -- just jumped on it and started recording (then
back to the World Series). The second it was on screen it showed Grover yucking it up.

I can sure understand their reactions to Ron Christie -- I feel the same way when I see his smarmy, smirking face.

I really like Maher. :hi:

6. Christie comes off as really snotty. He's not the only right-winger
like that of course. He must have really been good at what he did before he started getting on tv. It's kind of hard to take anything he says seriously with the crossed eyed thing going on.

8. OMG, until that obnoxious Ron Christie came on! He won't shut up!!!
Bill Maher is trying to let Christie finish -- I hate that -- as if he hasn't already monopolized the entire panel with his whiny, pathetic voice.

10. I was totally disgusted with the show. Allowing both
Norquist and Christie to dominate so much of the time with their bullshit and no effective rebuttal turned me totally off.

15. Skip the fashion show, but the West, Ware, Christie interaction is worth watching.
