Did Alec Baldwin shout at the black woman after Bill Maher?

[Tammuz]

O.K. I only caught the second half but that black woman seemed very rude - she would talk and talk for about 15 minutes and not let anyone even answer what she had been saying.

She basically talked all over Alec when he was trying to rebut which shows how scared she was of the inevitable rebuttals.

So, the show ends and Alec starts talking to her and he seems to be talking calmly but (and I could tell he was pissed during the show) just before the screen went blank he leant in and it looked like he was shouting and she had a smile like - Im being told off.

Did he?

1. I saw some of that

Alec said something about the media and she took offense keep in mind I only saw some of this. Was the brit? Hitchens? all I can say and in brit speak what a bloody wanker.

2. If he knows what's good for him...

...he'd yell at her the next time too.

3. He ate her alive

From what I could tell. He kept going at her, and she had that fake smile plastered on her face, then turned and fled.

Baldwin took care of both of them. Hitchens was just drunk and idiotic, as usual. He comes so close to making sense sometimes, and then just veers off into lunacy...

5. That woman was an idiot...

That woman had no idea what she was talking about. She had no grasp of the subject and made herself look like an idiot. Alec was very gracious, even when she was interrupting him and yelling over him. I guess she's one of those bitter conservatives who believes that he who yells loudest is right. She needs to go back to school or read up and stop listening to the drivel from her party. She's a token for the conservatives and is dummying what they tell her. It was embarrassing and she came off like she didn't have a brain in her head. Bill and Alec were so gracious and made her look so dumb by comparision. But what was great was that Alec was voicing everything that I was thinking. I loved last night's episode. God, where do they find these people!? It was like the person from last week. She was an idiot too, but of course, the conservatives probably think she actually had some kind of impact. It's laughable.
If you missed it, they'll probably replay the episode sometime this weekend...they usually do...

4. What she said about OPEC was crap.

She said that we had broken OPEC by invading Iraq, and it was a punishment to the Saudis. Then I read an article where they said at their latest meeting that they would not need to curtail production because oil prices are high enough now because there is little oil flowing out of Iraq.

7. I couldn't believe her blatant lies

I was really hoping that Alec Baldwin was going to mention the fact that, contrary to that bitch's statements, Davis was fighting back during the energy crisis. Both he and Dianne Feinstein were begging for price caps to cap the illegal price gouging by Ken Lay and his buddies at Enron. Dick Cheney personally blocked them. Ken Lay and Dick Cheney are more to blame for the California deficit than Gov. Davis.
