4. Damn that sux

I partly subscribed just for his show. I get 9 HBOs plus 1 in HD for $10 per month so I figured what the heck.

7. I was amazed at some of his comments.

How we may as well invade Iran, now that we are there.

The way he kept arguing with Tubbs-Jones instead of letting her speak.

His cow-towing to the right.

He said nothing to Tubbs-Jones about her recently received "Backbone Award", her challenge of the electoral votes, or anything else of consequence.

Plus he is sexist in an annoying way.

8. The show hasn't "shifted to the right".

I think he's always been reasonable. The show was good last week even though I was astounded to find myself agreeing with Tucker on some of the issues. Tubbs-Jones came off badly and Robbins wasn't particularly sharp. He left big holes for Carlson to walk through. Just because Maher wants a more balanced audience doesn't mean his show is changing direction. Last week people couldn't praise him enough for the Gannon slaughter and now all of a sudden he's a neo-con. The show is good and certainly liberal friendly.

9. Can someone fill me in on his interview with the Huckster?

Not very popular in Arkansas these days.. even in his own party...

Bad times for the Rev./Gov.

11. Canseco is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Just a flat out dope, the personification of the "dumb jock" stereotype.

13. I don't know but he was not up to his usual standards.

Tim is always way better than that. He's usually up in the face of whatever Conservative is on there and backing his points with solid facts. He was slow and sloppy on this show.
