God, Kingston is a loving moron. And props to Hughley for saying:"You're making me feel good about my GED." Although, following it up by saying you don't believes in evolution puts him squarely in the moron camp with Kingston.

Radio Nowhere posted:Cornel West makes any show better! If there's one thing I can thank Maher for it's introducing me to him. Also a decade after it even matters I'm starting to like Matthew Perry. I was thinking the same thing about Perry. He was way funnier than he ever was on Friends. I'm almost tempted to give his new show a try...

God, I felt like punching that oval office from CNBC in the face the entire episode. Blatantly shilling for the richest douchebags out there, and saying the only alternative is communism.  I really wish Taibbi would get on the panel sometime, instead of being a stand-alone guest... richardfun fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Feb 19, 2011 |

RevBabyKiller posted:The 4th panel member pop-in is the worst part of the show. Sometimes the one-on-one interviews are pretty sketchy but there's a fairly good success/failure ratio. The 4th panel member has worked out once in recent memory with Colbert's Physicist buddy. The rest of the time it ranges from mediocre but pointless (Friends guy) to weak and detrimental like Kevin Smith or Martin Short. They've got nothing useful to say and seem to amuse Maher more than the audience. It breaks up the flow of the panel worse than the prop segment and sometimes the show just does not recover from the loss of momentum Maher must've been baked out of his mind when he asked Kevin Smith to come on this week. Jesus christ, that guy is a complete waste of time and space on the show...

Taibbi has a new article online, enticingly titled Why isn't Wall Street in jail. If you're a bit of a masochist like me, and like feeling like your head is about to explode, I highly recommend it.

And that CNBC bitch was so awful I want to drill a hole in her head and shove an immersion blender in there - it might make her think better. Taibbi was pretty much this episode's saving grace. I still want to see him on the panel sometime though. He would've been great as a counter to that Randian mong from CNBC.

I just watched The Inside Job. I've read quite a bit on the financial crisis in the last two years but this movie perfectly illuminates the causes of the financial crisis, and identifies the coke-fueled assholes responsible. It's educational, infuriating and capable of driving any sane person homicidal. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have a brain aneurysm...

Early in the episode, the hot conservative lady put her hand on Spitzer's arm while making a point. At that moment, I actually said out loud "that's a liberal/conservative hate gently caress waiting to happen". I like that my mind works in much the same way as Bryan Cranston's. Also, I wanted to jump into the studio when they all said "yeah, Breivik is crazy". No. He's not. This guy went through nine years of meticulous planning. Acquired certain chemicals he required for his bomb from Poland. Started up a farming business so he'd be able to order large amounts of fertilizer without it looking suspicious. He then proceeded to rent two cars. One van for the bomb, and another one to drive him to the boat he had ready. When he got to the island, dressed as a police officer so as to appear intrinsically trustworthy, he made sure to gather as much people around him as possible before he started shooting them. And he made sure to put a bullet in the head of everyone he shot. You know, just to make sure. Oh, and while he was planning this thing, he wrote/cut&pasted a 1500 page manifesto together. I'm sorry, but that kind of planning and clear, long term thinking doesn't fit my definition of crazy. Sociopath, yes. The worst example of what mankind has to offer. Sure. But he's not nuts, and by dismissing him as a mad man, we risk ignoring factors that contributed to his decision to carry out these attacks.

pkd88 posted:I really did not find the panel that bad but they accomplished nothing. None of them were really offensive and none of them actually said anything with any meaning. Well, I disagree. My definition of crazy is someone who has lost their grip on reality. As warped as this guy's ideas may have been, they were the product of a rational, if extremely misguided mind.

Holy gently caress. When that fat gently caress Fund was defending the filibuster by saying "there are several things in the Constitution to protect usfrom the tiranny of the majority", I was ready to punch through the screen. If I were actually American, I would've had a brain aneurysm a loooong time ago. richardfun fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Oct 15, 2011 |

Grand Fromage posted:I don't want the show to be an echo chamber, but they also need to stop having Republicans on because they're all one giant loving talking point and bullshit. There are a few conservatives that are good guests, capable of having an actual debate and conversation, they should just rotate them. There are a few Republicans that I can stomach (David Frum is one of them). It's basically every right winger who is willing to acknowledge, in front of a camera, that the current Republican Party is batshit insane. However, 'reporters' from financial networks are a different story. Not only should they not be invited on the show, they should be herded together and shunned like a leper colony.

The conservative on the left made me want to punch holes through the TV with his blatant lies and spin. Fund really is one of the most disingenuous shitbags out there. But I'm more pissed at Maher, not being prepared enough to destroy the bullshit 'arguments' that I as a casual viewer can see coming a mile away.

JerkyBunion posted:Issa knows his audience. He always comes off as extremely reasonable on real time but go look at his actions as the head witch hunter in Congress. The man is pure politician. He's a wingbat when the right is watching and reasonable when the left is. This. Exactly this. The man is such a shitheel. He acts like a perfectly acceptable moderate most of the time on shows like Real Time. When he´s out of the spotlight (meaning, only C-SPAN's camera's are rolling) he is as much in favour of hysterical witch hunts as all the other Republicans.

Matthews and Ellison annoyed the living poo poo out of me, even though their views are probably closer to mine than Sullivan's. Jesus loving christ, Matthews. He was reacting to any criticism of JFK like someone just spat his girlfriend in the face. I also could've done without Common's platitudes.

I know it's the View, but it's got Maher in it so I'm posting this clip here. Watch Elizabeth Hasselbeck give new meaning to the term passive-aggressive. Also, why the hell would he appear on that show. I'd assume that's about as far away from his target audience as he could possibly get...
