Anyone catch "Politically incorrect" last night?
Gore Vidal was fantastic while that guy Frum was a real neocon jerk. Gore Vidal was whipping the crowd into a frenzy with his poignant and political criticisms of Bush while Frum personally attacked Vidal for being old while carrying forward the usual neocon mantras.

The best part of the show was where Frum compared the "liberation" of Iraq with the "liberation" of Europe during WW2. Vidal retorted by saying that he was in WW2 and there is no comparison whatsoever. It made this Frum chickenhawk shut up and the crowd erupted. Good show!!

2. I have not seen it yet.
I can use that "On Demand Cotrol" later on today. I understand Howard Dean was on the show as well. How did he fair with the group?

3. That's what they always do...
...when they can't win on facts, they start with name calling and personal attacks. They're so transparent.

11. Loved it!!!
Real Time last night was just awsome! Gore Vidal (The living legend) is just so very witty and hilarious! I was laughing my ass off last night. Though I think my boy friend was a bit annoyed as he was trying to study on the dinning area table.

13. Free Speach Lives on HBO
Real Time has been great. Maher does a great job of getting deeper into topics than the other shows. Plus its actually often hysterical, everything Dennis Miller isn't. Unfortuneately on break till late July.
