1. I would be a

happy girl if I could just sit and listen to Martin Bashir say "underpants" over and over and over...

That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen

2. One of his guests just made a brilliant point

She said ReTHUGS want to shrink government down to the size of female parts

3. I thought she said something different.

I thought she said that Republicans want to shrink government down to a size that would "fit inside" female parts.

Did I hear wrong?

Loved what Martin said!

4. I never understand how u can "tear someone a new one"...

when they're not watching, and even if they were, don't care. Repukes watch Fox News, period.

Now if a Repuke is on these shows as a guest that's a whole nother story. But the idea that a diatribe on Rachel, Keith, or any reasonable newsperson's show is "tearing them a new one" when none of "them" are even watching is kind of silly.

6. it is a figure of speech, not to be taken literally

and they are referring to the arguments that the (R)s have been making on a specific issue. Tearing a hole in their story is figuratively referred to as "tearing them a new one".

5. Martin is my 2nd favorite, right behind Rachel

The guy is freaking smart and he comes at things at unusual angles that nobody else takes.

His dry sense of humor and the ability to keep going in the same monotone after delivering a joke is priceless.

Today I heard him say that Newt's greatest talent was taking down his own underpants (paraphrased) and then he just kept on talking as if he had never said it. So damn funny.
