1. What is with repugs and the concept of time?

'The Weakly Show' is dated May 19, 2008 and the first thing he tries to chide (I turned it off) is Bill Maher's standup for "The Decider"

From Wikipedia - Bill Maher: The Decider is Bill Maher's eighth HBO stand-up comedy special. It was filmed on 21 July 2007. (my emphasis).

If you're going to vent your moral outrage, at least be up to date. It's as bad as Steve Doocy today raving about KO "picking on his son" during Countdown ... on May 5.

2. Good thing there's canned laughter, so I know when he's made a joke.

Wow, that's... funny? :eyes:

11. Rhetorical question but, no.

No that is not funny.
This site needs a button to disrecommend things.

16. You know it's gotta dig at the wingnuts that they can't be funny.

They must hate it that popular culture gravitates toward the wit and charm of all of OUR favorites, and they have nobody. The list is too long for me to think of them all but I can't think of one single conservative angled program that is considered "comedy".

They're bitter in the heartland because nobody laughs at their jokes and everyone thinks they're creepy.

19. You have to HAVE a job in order to not quit it.
