1. Hope he give some
hell to Emmanuel and doesn't let him off.
Ken Burns should be good.

5. 18.7 million people watched Ken Burns' "The War". That's a lot of
smart, or aware, people. As Maher said, CBS would have liked those numbers.

reach over and put his hand on Dyson's back? It was so condescending.

14. Rahm is trying to sell the 'best" war and it ain't working. Mr. Dyson is
a brilliant speaker. MKJ

Duly noted!

33. She didn't bomb with Maher. She was doing corporatist double talk and Bill not having a clue
couldn't question her properly. She was saying that the global economy was strong, helping American companies but fuck the American people. All Bill had to do was ask her about the dollar.

21. Oh dear. The wheels are falling off tonight's racial divide.
O'Reilly has been reduced to "is rap music a cheer or false bravado?" (That's not a quote from the show. That's my reaction.)

But then, once again MED saves the day.

26. Maher can't pull the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" routine on women .
That's a big part of his schtick.

He seems to be most comfortable surrounded by men.

28. Being one who likes control , as does Rep. Emmanuel, I doubt he was drinking.
I watched the show and he seemed to be thrown off his game when he couldn't control the dialog.

29. Kind of like Hillary right?
In all fairness, Emmanuel was quite effective during the 2006 elections. Just read a book called "The Thumpin'" the story of how he beat the Repukes at their own game last year. Pretty entertaining book.

38. He still helped take away Congress from the Repunklicans. Blue dogs or not.
That was the goal. Throw em out. That's what he's good at. He hasn't done anything since, but at least he accomplished something.

39. Are you referring to the Blue Dogs
that are now voting WITH the republics?

That "accomplishment" sucked! That "accomplishment" is why we can't get enough votes to impeach or to do jack squat for our country.

What are the Blue dogs good for? NOTHING!

32. Drunk?
My husband and I thought the same thing. He slurred so many words, was overly huggie, and the mouth expressions were obvious to us. And he ended up holding his face alot (we've worked in clubs/bars for over 30 years). You can also suspect pharms mixed with booze, in many cases. He reminded me of many who "think" they're able to handle 'just one more drink' or drug without it showing. We thought he was toasted too.

35. I certainly have
been around enough drunk people.

That guy acted like he was half in the bag.

He was barely coherent IMO.

31. Puts his own purse above everything
Pushing the deals he does has proven very good for Emmanuel's bank account. After shilling for the China Free Trade deal, Rahm left the Clinton administration to go to make 22 million in 2 years. Surprised? BTW, he will do anything to dump progressives out of the Democratic party.

46. i'll probably have to abstain from voting in the presidential race...
unless there's a third party candidate that appeals to me.

just like if i still lived in chicago, i'd have to abstain from voting for rahm emmanuel.
