Bill Maher / Larry King thread

[Opusnone]

Smoke a fatty for Maher and his stellar show on HBO.

[ChoralScholar]

1. I love Maher.

"wanted to vote a straight republican ticket, but couldn't find a straight republican" - funny

[Coexist]

3. I was just going to post that one!

I laughed really, really loud!

[ChoralScholar]

8. Hey I beat someone to it this time!!!

My TV's not too slow after all.

[NYCGirl]

2. "The base wanted to vote a straight Republican ticket, but they couldn't find

a straight Republican."

:rofl:

[NYCGirl]

4. He just outed Mehlman! NT

[Cameron27]

6. Whoa!

[NYCGirl]

7. King said, "I never heard that!" NT

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. And Maher said, "I guess you don't hang out at the same bathhouses

I do." :rofl:

[Opusnone]

18. Maher is 180 from gay

He's known as quite the "ladies man", if you follow my fingers making quote marks.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

32. Sure, that's obvious.

I'm sure he made the bathhouse comment purely to be funny, since he had scored a big shocked face on Larry King when he "outed" Mehlman.

[Opusnone]

5. Should add ON CNN right now

He's going to start outing gay republics on Friday night?
Let's start a pool.
I'll go first: KKKarl Rove

[Mr_Spock]

9. self hating is the best love of all

Maher on Ken Mehlman being a hypocrite on being a gay person who speaks out against gay issues...

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. notice how they label him "the outspoken bill maher..."

conservatives are never "outspoken"

[Mr_Spock]

12. I think Buchanan is considered "outspoken"

...to be fair :D

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

13. bay or pat?

pat is camped out at msnbc.

[Mr_Spock]

15. Yeah, the MSNBC fellow

Pat :D

[Opusnone]

16. She's gay, he's probably not

Though for a brother/sister team, they don't strike me much like Donnie and Marie!

[Catherine Vincent]

27. No, they're just rabid.

:)

[Cameron27]

11. Damn, I just turned on Larry King

Bill Maher sounds like he's on a roll!

[Cameron27]

17. Take down Reagan baby!

Oh the phone calls are gonna be bad ROFL

[Catchawave]

19. Great show tonight.....

Thanks for starting this thread :hi:

Bill's giving a great wrap-up for the elections.

[Opusnone]

21. Saying the LEFT is truly only Nader and Kucinich

Apparently he doesn't spend any time on DU!!!

[NYCGirl]

22. I think he's talking about people already in public service. NT

[Swede]

20. "Dirty works,but the Republicans like that."

Too true.

[NYCGirl]

23. Calling George Allen "dumb" and "an empty suit." NT

[pdxmom]

24. Even worse...called him a Bush wannabe. n/t

[NYCGirl]

26. I really wish the GOP would run Allen...but I guess it's just a dream now. NT

[AlCzervik]

28. don't worry, you have Newt Gingrich to look forward, i predict the 08

republican primary will be the nastiest, dirtiest, meanest primary in history. Pass the popcorn.

[Opusnone]

30. I say Bring 'Em On

republic candidates will look like the asshats they are when Mr. Conyers is done shining his Detroit sunlight into the drained swamp.

[pdxmom]

29. That would be a good thread. Who will throw their hat in the ring for the

GOP? Some of the ones that would be funniest: George Allen, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich.

[NYCGirl]

31. Unfortunately, Allen and Santorum are probably radioactive right now.

Fortunately, they're out of office.
:evilgrin:

[Opusnone]

34. McCain is too liberal for the cons and Guiliani will be

under great suspicion for not treating ground zero as a crime scene as he should have.
Oh yes, 9-11 is not over by a long shot. Ask the 9-11 widows.

I can't see that the republics have a viable candidate at this point whereas the Democrats have too many.

[NYCGirl]

37. Giuliani has LOTS more baggage than just that. Even National Review is trying

to kill his chances:

[Opusnone]

38. Isn't that J. Edgar Hoover?

Or is it Ken Mehlman? Ted Haggard?
Oh wait, that's Rudy!

[NYCGirl]

39. LOL! Rudy appears in drag so often you'd think he was J. Edgar Hoover! NT

[Opusnone]

25. I don't like the fact that he's running with the tired RW talking point

that the Democrats did not win as much as the republics lost.
But, you take your victories, right?
Their talking points only matter to them.
Ha!

[blitzen]

33. sorry, i think maher's an ass...he claims "Dems didn't win..."

repubs lost...


Maher justs wants to be the perpetual gadfly...he has no core convictions

[ChoralScholar]

35. He is an ass, that's his character.

That's why I like him.... he can be the way I'd like to be, if I didn't need to get along with people.

[blitzen]

36. but in a strange way he does try to get along with everyone...

so he engages in fair and balanced trashing of dems and repukes--he's afraid to really offend the mass audience of righties who might happen to like him

[NYCGirl]

40. Yes, Bill, I agree. Howard Dean was right about a lot of things. NT

[Opusnone]

41. Gotta go, Dateline NBC is covering a dead white woman!

Just kidding, I'm going to kiss my wife again.
It feels like New Year's!

[Mr_Spock]

42. Maher said Dems should walk away from gun control & "marriage"

As in, let them have their guns & the word "marriage" if they want it - Dems should not talk about these issues he said!? He said something to the effect of "let them get married & shoot each other"
