(753 posts)Tweety and Stone were at the top of their game, making good points. And the conservative guy was completely out of his mind. We need more military spending so China and Russia don't fight our wars................... I MEAN WTF........ SERIOUSLY WTF............

(8,377 posts)even though it is funny. It leaves you somewhere in that emotional trauma land between laughing and crying. I was surprised that the audience didn't laugh more, but this was really hard hitting stuff when you stop to consider the power Scalia has.
We can laugh about Palin and Bachmann or Louis Gomert because they are just village idiots with no real power. But Maher is absolutely right. Scalia is that same idiot, except he's one of the most powerful people in the whole world.

(338 posts)That is true, he is in his 70's, think about 75 and looks very healthy. I don't know why he needs to keep up the bigotry when there are no checks on his power. Why Clarence Thomas always sides with him.
You are right funny and numbing at the same time. Depressing, but that is the main reason I gave Obama my every last dime so he can pick judges and I will do the same for Hillary. She might pick 3 if they leave in their 80's and she wins two terms.
Fingers crossed

(5,275 posts)Loved the way Bill, Oliver, and Tweety (plus the audience) stood up to the two right wing shill toadies on the panel. The guy was irritating enough but the gal took the cake - kept blaming Obama for putting Dubya's wars on the books and repeating debt, debt, debt. Carol whoever. listen up - the debt is 99% stupid wars/bloated defense budget and tax cuts for people who don't need it. Exactly what Bill tried to tell her. I just wanted to pluck her out of the screen and shake some sense into her.
