2. No kidding!
The 9/11 Truth Squad was out in full force. Maher himself was even helping security throw the hecklers out, and I think one of them tried to pull off Maher's microphone rig.

Crazy, man, crazy!

20. On Demand is really screwed up. At least on COX.
Real Time updates are running a full week behind. It totally blows. HBO still does the "You can see this starting tomorrow On Demand," but the program never shows up.

Meanwhile, two episodes of "Tell Me You Love Me" have actually appeared on On Demand BEFORE their actual air date.

:crazy:

3. Bill's wrap up was fantastic! I was also pleasantly surprised that
Matthews was relatively quiet. I was sure he was going to take over the show and never shut up...as usual. But he was quite reserved tonight.

7. What about Garry Kasparov?
"It doesn't make me comfortable Putin outplayed your guy."

26. I too was impressed with Garry. Matthews had it right when he said
that guy was thinking in Russian and speaking a different language! Can you een imagine any of our candidates speaking that thoughtfully even when only speaking English? They talk DOWN to us! Good for Garry and good for Chris too!

4. The panel was, with the exception of Jackson, worthless.
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 11:02 PM by Atman
Matthews is clearly out of his element when he can't control things. He looked awkward, fidgeting constantly, and had absolutely nothing to say. Pretty much the same with Klein.

But man, Edwards and Kasparov were da bomb! Two extremely bright men who get it. It's a shame the freak show in the audience took so much time away from the panel discussion...or maybe not. It didn't sound like they had anything to say anyway (again, except for Jackson).

9. I think Matthews was worried about being partisan.
He had a good comment: "We're playing checkers and they're playing chess," in reference to the Russians.

23. He should have thought about that before he drooled all over
* and the flight suit (package)...he blew any credibility that he had during the rush to war...

24. Oh yeah, but to think that far ahead? That takes ethics.

10. It was great. The Russian guy was awesome. Tweety was right - it is
like they are playing chess while our Country is playing checkers.

25. No, our country is playing an even dumber game...
All-in poker with non-connecting unsuited low cards in hand and bombs for chips.

11. If Kasparov ran for POTUS on the Republicon ticket, I could vote for him
Gary may be a lot of things, but "corporatist" he ain't.

12. I wish Sheila Jackson Lee said to Maher,
making fun of Ellen crying about the dog and said something like, "are we really ready for a woman president"...I wish she said you are not a woman and you don't understand.

13. Or "You might think that if you can't tell women apart as individuals."
I like Bill but sometimes he says some dumb shit.

14. In fairness to Bill
He said that half the country might be asking themselves if we're ready for a woman president.

15. Yeah. But he also said if he were a woman he'd be embarrassed.
Not: as a white person I'm embarrassed. Or: as a TV personality I'm embarrassed.

I don't mean to rag on him too much. It's a relatively minor thing.

19. You've got a point there.
His sexism usually shows through regardless of any plausible deniability.

17. I think it shows a person's ass when they squeak and yell at these things
The other people did not come to here their views. If they want to tell them take an ad. I think they were disgusting. They have a right to speak but not ruin the peace of other people who came to see the show.

21. Edwards was impressive in his interview with Bill Maher....
... and Maher showed the Bill O'Reilly piece where Maher mentioned Edwards as a winner and Billo went off on one of his tirades against Edwards.

Edwards followed that up with the comment that having Bill O'Reilly attack him was good for the campaign.
