Bill Maher's guests this week on 'Real Time':

This Friday at 11 pm, Bill Maher returns with a new edition featuring guests commentator Heather Higgins, Gen. Anthony Zinni, and editor/publisher Mortimer Zuckerman. Plus, via satellite, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel.

tv setup.

to get used to. And the neighbors are already complaining about the cables on my townhome roof. So I may run into trouble with that.

So far so good otherwise.

it's listed a repeat

:shrug: I guess we'll see! :)

But, as usual, thanks to DU'ers, I'm in the loop.

:)

This should be a new show tonight.

He's talking about Scottie stepping down ... yep .. it's new. :hi:

:rofl:

of our plans and "make them their own"?

D'oh! blivet** has done it with Kerry's ideas so many times already!

He talks about how they got so much done in Clinton in spite of the lobbyists.

But that was before the K Street Project. It seems to me it's a different world than it was in Clinton's day.

Am I wrong about this?

Have we learned NOTHING FROM THE LAST SIX YEARS?

Apologies to DLC supporters on DU, but this illustrates one of my peeves with the DLC. Emanuel needs to develop some spine.

Whether he wanted to or not, he just gave ammo to Republicans who claim Dems have no plan for Iraq.

we should use it as a campaign issue

Uh, Rahm? Do the words Camp Casey have any meaning to you?!

Geez Louise, we've got at least three Democratic Congressional candidates in Texas that have all said they won't support reauthorizing the ban. Read the freakin' tea leaves, guy.

These clowns are just ass-backwards.

:puke:

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

what the hell is up with the Michael Jackson Thriller era leather getup???

jeeze

She's trying to baffle them with bullshit but they aint buyin it.

As always the right-winger trying to out-talk the others...especially the General. Bleh.

this panel is looking like a bad show.

:puke:

she doesn't know shit.

And I wish someone would correct bill about the military being all pro-bush. :eyes:

oh good lord here come the ridiculous WWII comparisons

But then the focus groups would turn down the knobs in disapproval.

give me a freaking break. comparing a crippled
Iraq to the juggernaut that was the Axis war machine..
hilarious

New Rule:

Don't wear a red leather outfit as a panelist, if you want to be taken seriously.

lol

lol, loved Bill's song

best...song....ever!

I tried looking her orginization up and can't find it.

has nice right wing credentials

give me a break. talk about out of his element.
comparing the dead ball era to juicing.

Notice keyword: Republican operatives

Trying not to fall asleep.....

ruins every ESPN NBA broadcast every time. but Maher
is equally stupid and wrong on Bonds IMO. hmmmm maybe
the reason people hate bonds is he is a pathological
asshole for the last 15 years. hell of a ball player
but his post 1997 career is a disgrace. Too bad his
ego made him juice if he had stayed on his 40/40 track
he could have had the last laugh....

but I don't like sports all that much either.

(and why is it that the stupidest person on the panel is always the one who wants to talk the most?)

GREAT SONG by the kids. LOL!!!!!

and talking over Gen. Zinni.:eyes:

or was sports guy a blowhard?

steven a is everything that is wrong with the current ESPN
broadcast team wrapped up in one annoying package.

I couldn't wait for that segment to be over.

Speak up, and cut her off....

she even has talking when she is off camera during
maher's bits throughout the show. par for the course
for right wingers on real time though they tend to
dominate.

this is a painfully awkward panel. they are going
off on a tangent that is completely useless

complete absence of remembering... you have
to be kidding me.

she is a moran and a moron!

maybe she will do the thriller zombie dance during the credits

THE FUCK UP..HERE SHE HAS BEEN TELLING ZINNI WHAT generals should or shouldn't do??

fuckkkkkkkkk ..i was waiting for Zinni to ask to see her stars!!!!!!!!!!

who the hell is this know it all??????????

i would love to stuff a sock in her freaking mouth...

here <she> is telling zinni..anything..,who the fuck is she????????

wow i want to gangster slap her!

Zinni just said..we gave them a gift with Iraq..and she was still too stupid to shut the fuck up!

wow my cat claws are out and i would love to use them on that fucking moron!

can you tell she has really pissed me off???

well so you are not confused...i am big time pissed..such disrespect these fucking fundie assholes are of those who actually served this nation..where are this bitches discharge papers of her service..i am sorry if i offend..i don't usually use the "B" word..but this one deserves it!..its the only thing she has earned in my book!

a very pissed off fly

and she screamed RED - red hair, red leather dress

sitting on my sofa..or i would have thrown a dozen shoes at the tv..wow that lady ( ?) soooooooo pissed me off..what an ignoromous!!

who the fuck is she to tell a 4 star general what gererals should or shouldn't do ..when their soldiers are in a corrupt war..

who the fuck is that rotten witch?????????

give me her 5 minutes in a room..her eyeballs would need serious protecting...

wtf is maher doing putting someone like that on..i don't think i will be watching his reich wing bullshit anymore..

he allowed that filthy bitch to talk the way to Zinni..and he just sat there knowing Zinni would be respectful to a woman..well bill that was no lady..she was...dirty word dirty word...

i am sick of this crap from bill maher..

he is certainly no moderator..when he lets a twit like that go on and on and on...and gives no equal time to the other guests...

fly

beautiful when you angry!

and completely useless, save for the final New Rule.

Worst panel ever, as well.

flyarm said it all in her two late posts

Maher is useless as a moderating influence on ALL wingnut guests, and he almost NEVER has anyone on with the knowledge to counter them. the wingers obviously come with prepared talking points based on PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of the show's discussion topics, and they're ALL PAID PROFESSIONAL FASCIST PROPAGANDISTS

it's that simple

But he just let her go on - he wasn't going to argue with her. But Maher could've steered the ship, I kept waiting for him to snatch it out of her yap and hand it to Zinni. He was pretty passive - too much hippie lettucr? Or maybe he doesn't want to appear too partisan? He obviously has a very low reguard for Bush and the way the war was started and handled. He seems determined to hammer the environment issue.

:rofl: :nuke: :puke: :mad:

I never realized that the did that.

She is a one trick pony. :puke:

as guests?

was a better moderator than Bill! If Zinni could get more of a word in edge wise he would've smacked all of her BS down pretty soundly.
So she's a former Gingrich "operative"? Even Zuckman was getting mad at her biased shit.

she was rude, kept doing the spin and reminded me of some other freeper zombies who don't mention the deaths of not only our soldiers, but Iraq's people. She acts like it's some political football game--and you know civilian leadership knows best about what their doing in a war, especially chickenhawks, instead of military generals. I won't even bother saving this one for my hubby to see (he can't stay up that late)--it's not worth it!!!!!!!!

What an empty headed twit with a loud voice and appaling fashion sense.

You could tell she KNEW she was supposed to challenge Zini..but she never really had the balls to do it. Hence, staring at her hands while spewing her nonsense. Even SHE wasn't buying her bullshit anymore.

to keep the show moving in the absence of a good panel. He doesn't seem able to contest the RW talking points, and often doesn't seem to have done his homework by looking into the issues thoroughly.

I thought he reached a new low in the discussion of the Duke rape case when he said that women may often falsely claim they've been raped, and that black women are more likely to do so because "you don't diss a black woman."

especially Heather Higgins attempting to give lessons to a Four-Star General about warfare.
