3. I am not sure..but contact them and give it a shot..
Putting any of the pundits listed above would make for a great show..no matter what subject. Maybe Bill could pit Randi and Ann the Man on the same show? That would be awesome!!! I think if enough contact..maybe we have a shot!

2. Also,
I can't wait! I have really missed him... and what you bet he has had a hard time choosing which topics to toss around. So much has happened/decayed.

4. Great idea!
Nothing gets a show with a political roundtable going like a group that all agree on the same thing! :thumsup:

Edited on Tue Aug-22-06 04:59 PM by GOPS Worst Fear
They continue to put righties on alone..while when a leftie goes on..they have to put a rightie on to counter em'.

6. Bill wants more conservatives
He complains he has a hard time getting them on. :shrug:


I'm just looking forward to Belzer's next appearance. I was pissed at Maher when he got on Belzer's case and implied that Richard was being too hard the conservative (iirc, a minority female Republican House member from Florida).

13. Belzer was doing a great job
but Bill interrupted him a few times and asked him to tone it down.

here's a partial transcript from newsbusters.com (which appears to be right-leaning to me).

Maher: “I think the point he's trying to make is that a 19-year-old who is in that army because he probably couldn't find other employment-”

Ros-Lehtinen: “He's a college graduate. He's a Marine officer. He volunteered for the Marines.”

Belzer: “He's the exception for the rule.”

Ros-Lehtinen: “He's not the exception for the rule. I've been there-”

Belzer: “You think everyone over there is a college graduate? They're 19 and 20-year-old kids who couldn't get a job-”

Ros-Lehtinen: “Yeah, you know because you've been there and-”

Belzer: “What, I don't fucking read!? Don't do that!”

Maher, over Belzer: “Woe, woe, woe. Come on. Wait, wait, wait. That, don't.”

Belzer: “Pardon my French.”

Maher: “That was over the line and now you're going to lose-”

Belzer: “It's this patronizing thing that people have about if you're against the war everyone's lumped together. You know, the soldiers are not scholars, they're not war experts-”

Maher: “You're going to lose even me like Michael Moore did when he came down on Charlton Heston in Columbine.”

16. Maher gets a little overly protective of conservatives
Edited on Tue Aug-22-06 11:52 PM by Mabus
I still have not forgiven him for leaving an empty chair on the old "Politically Incorrect" in honor of Barbara Olson because she died on 9/11. She was a fucking lying whore who made a lot of money bashing the Clintons and promoting the RW agenda. Maher also gave a lot of time to Coulter and helped her career along.

I watch his show for his guests, many of whom don't get a chance to talk at length on other shows, but I sure don't watch it for Bill.

17. Agreed.
I just read an interview with him in the Rolling Stone and he is a grade A jackass. I do like the way his liberal guests give it to the conservatives though.

20. This says it all
It isn't a photoshop. It is a picture by Photo by Robert Trachtenberg on the Rolling Stone website.

23. You and your facts!

I'll leave it up though. I can admit when I'm wrong. Thanks.

24. The facts sure get in the way, alright. That's why the right wing has
gotten rid of them COMPLETELY!

P.S. It takes a big man (or woman) to admit when they're wrong, Mabus. And the GOP doesn't do that any more either!

:hi:

25. Ain't that the truth
Thanks for setting the record straight. One of the of the many reasons I like you is that you are a stickler for getting the truth out there. :hi:

8. You guys don't get it.
He wants people from all sides with different opinions and backgrounds. Otherwise, it's a boring bitch session.

11. What YOU didn't Get is...
I didn't mean to have the whole lot on one show. Have one at a time on vs the right wing nutjobs. On different weeks.

15. But...he does.
I admit, I've not seen every show...but I see most, and the ones I've seen always have a varied panel on them.

21. I AM NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU
I just suggested the above hosts.Not to be put on together,but seperately against Ann Coulter and other right wing kooks. The Lefties would wipe the floor up with them. No matter who it is.
