1. Quite a variety. Simpson after their last encounter should be interesting!

[Bozita]

28. Wasn't that the last show before election day?

Maher let him control the show.

[cry baby]

2. The names Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and Joe Scarborough

should not be mentioned in the same breath. Scarborough will be blown away tonight!

[Walt Starr]

3. I can't take Simpson or Scarborough

I'll pass this week.

[AlCzervik]

4. me too but i always like to give a heads up on shows some DU'ers watch

[Maraya1969]

23. I'll watch but if Bill Maher says one more time that what Bush did

in Iraq "might work" I'm going to spit!
:spray:

[underpants]

5. I wonder if Simpson will flip out on him again

He just about lost it during a "magical glass box" interview last season.

[ClintonTyree]

6. Will somebody PLEASE....

hock a loogey on Scarborough tonight?

Jane already got hers, Scarborough deserves dozens.

[Rich Hunt]

7. great

I'm so glad that my cable box is working again - now I can watch HBO.

[ananda]

8. Scarborough?

Yuck. Slimy, smarmy, plasticized...

[FreedomAngel82]

14. I wish

Maher would ask him about that intern. Just to see his face flush up and get his undies in a tight wad.

[lala_rawraw]

9. He never has me on that bastard, n/t

Coulter he has on, Drudge he has on, Ritter? Nope. Me? Nope. Friedman? Nope. Pitt? Nope. I love Dowd... But really, when he picks from new writers, new voices on feminism, and culture, he looks to the Blue Dress crowd. Am I wrong?

[Swamp Rat]

10. Yeah! I DARE Maher to have you on!!!

:D

[rocktop15]

16. He had Friedman on recently

I believe it was last week.

[lala_rawraw]

24. No, he had Frum on

I am speaking of Brad Friedman. Or Will Pitt would be nice. Or any other writer not already crowned by the NYT or any writer not related to blue dresses.


Let us make a wish list of people we want to see on:

Will Pitt
Andy Stepheson (he does write too, not just investigates)
Wonk (Ann Cox)
Brad Friedman
John Byrne
Naomi Klein (has he had her on yet?)

so there is my wish list and boy, if on one show that would be great.

[Cleita]

20. No, you're not wrong.

Maher, like many men who are fairly liberal in a lot of their thinking, can't seem to cross that line to accepting women on a fully equal basis. You would make him very uncomfortable.

[lala_rawraw]

25. Yes, I agree with you especially on the women...

He did have a leading feminist scholar on (I will not embarrass a hero of mine) and asked her about Michael Jackson and female teachers sleeping with male students.

[stanwyck]

27. Maher just doesn't get women

he truly believes women all hate each other. I don't know if his chauvinism is a misguided attempt to appear more masculine. Or just bad wiring. But he is very uneasy about women. It shows.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. I'm SHOCKED his FRIEND Ann, the man, Coulter isn't on!

Scarborough, the murderer???? :puke:

[Swamp Rat]

15. Can't have a succubus and a murderer on at the same time.

There'd be cosmic chaos! ... a maelstrom of mayhem!

:D

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Ooh Bobby Junior!

I'm going to watch just for him. :loveya:

[rniel]

13. Get the pies ready!!

n/m

[ariellyn]

17. Other "guests"....the rest of the kool-aid drinkers I 'spose...n/t

[anarchy1999]

18. Stand back and get out of the way if Maher does his job tonight and if

Scarborough and Kennedy are on the "panel". I can only hope.

[thebigidea]

19. Scarborough will be playing to the audience....

... and pulling his "reasonable conservative that doesn't agree with everything Bush does" schtick. blegh.

hopefully his meds will have him babbling easily refutable idiocies...

[stanwyck]

26. Yep. They all do the same dance

the Moderation. O'Reilly. Newt. Dennis Miller on The Daily Show. It's exactly the same. These guys all use the same play books. It's nauseating.
Like we don't see right through them.

[Beelzebud]

21. I wonder...

I wonder if Bill will continue his disgraceful ass kissing to the right in this week's show?

He should take Joe to task for his horrid coverage of the Shiavo fiasco.

[AlCzervik]

22. or maybe for killing his intern?

i'm waiting for someone to come out and say that to him on tv.
