Now that Real Time is over, I can take my eyes off the television...
...long enough to say that Alison Stewart is positively the second hottest woman on the entire planet (in case my wife reads this!). An intelligent woman with a sense of humor who happens to be beautiful to boot. Be still my heart!

3. He was restrained tonight, thank goodness
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 11:15 PM by Atman
Last time he was on he sucked all the air out of the room with his constant interruptions and impersonations. Someone obviously told him to throttle it back a notch. Of course, having such a brilliant panel probably helped, as he wasn't given as many openings to hog the limelight.

4. Yowser. Without a doubt
Probably best show of the season. Martin Short even stayed on focus.

6. That was an excellent segment. I want to read his book, but it sounds too scary
This administration scares me enough already. I honestly didn't realize the scope of the Blackwater clusterfuck on America. If we had a real Democratic congress, at least I could hope that someone would outlaw this kind of shit. But alas...we have the Jellyfish Congress.

17. I didn't realize the Christian connection
Sounds pretty terrifying to me too. Every time you think it can't get any worse, it does.

8. Intelligent, funny women are beautiful and are likely all around you.
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 12:28 AM by Hoof Hearted
Why are men so F*(k`~g surprised when women are pretty, nice AND smart?

It's like they just found out their dog can talk!

BTW, your little disclaimer (in case my wife reads this) was REALLY TACKY. Like 9.8 x 10^4 worth of tacky.

May you learn to appreciate the fruit of your own vineyard, and may your wife enjoy a well deserved harvest.


edit to add a miissing &

10. Excuse me, but why do you think I am surprised?
I'm not surprised at all. My wife holds several degrees and is a beautiful woman. The "in case she's reading this" comment was a joke. Because if she was reading it, she'd actually agree with me that Stewart is a hottie. Ironically, I only added it at the last minute because I figured some DUer would dis me claiming I was dissing my wife...but you got me! There's one on every thread!

Your post is just plain wrong. I never stated surprise that women could be beautiful and smart. You added the surprise part. I never even alluded to such a reaction. You really need to re-read my op. I only said that Alison Stewart was intelligent, had a sense of humor and was beautiful, in that order. So I find intelligent women attractive...so shoot me. And quit trying to find hidden sexist messages where there are none.

14. Me too, I saw nothing wrong with this post? Sometimes what upsets people
amazes me, though in many ways I am thankful we live in such a world that shines brightly with such a variety of opinions and or ideals, other times its downright scary...

16. Nice backflip. I'd give it a solid 6.87.
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 02:02 AM by Hoof Hearted
If your wife has several degrees surely you are no idiot. We will at least start with that assumption.

Explain to us (because it's not that hard) how a statement like this:

"An intelligent woman with a sense of humor who happens to be beautiful to boot. Be still my heart!"


Might be misinterpreted, especially when is it preceded by a wisecrack about the authors wife finding out about the comments made.

20. I guess it's just the women I meet
:evilgrin:

But it's probably that whole Venus/Mars thing. Women say nasty stuff about men. It's human nature.

11. and this is political, how?
yes, Real Time is great.

Because of the discussion.

Not the looks.

This is a lounge thread.

My own opinion, and what do I know?

12. "My own opinion, and what do I know?"
Not what GD is about, apparently.

GD-P is for POLITICAL threads. GD is for lower-case political threads. The Lounge is for pictures of your kittens.

Bill Maher's show is POLITICAL. Alison Stewart is a favorite of a great many DUers as a stand-in for Keith Olberman. Generally speaking. And after all, isn't this the "General Discussion" forum?

18. 367 page views as of this post...
Did not offend me either, Atman. :hi:

There is a prickly one in every crowd.
Emphasis on the word 'one' because it so
far has only offended one person enough
to comment as such.
