Harman just kept up rambling poli-speak filibuster points over and over again. Dems need angry motherfuckers not "bi-partisan" careerists. Morello would have been better if they gave him more time so he didn't have to rage and hammer out all his bullet points so quickly. I think he should have gone after John Avlon as well regarding the 9-11 stuff but he seemed interested in just plugging his stuff quickly and leaving it at that. Nobody is saying the USA "Deserved" it, just that we are a global rear end in a top hat in a lot of ways as well as a viable target and we shouldn't have been surprised by it and shocked and awed that someone would attack "are" freedom.

Walter Cronkite owns. It's sad that he would literally have to have his own cable show to be able to actually put out that statement now instead of on the CBS Evening News. Typical Fox News viewers would get confused by the use of full sentences, "big words" and metaphorical prose as well.

I dig NGT, his interview this week on NPR loving owned. He brought up all the technology advances that came about (microprocessors, etc) because of NASA and how we just loving blow it off now like "OH NERDS." I hope at least some kids were watching his Nova shows and I look forward to his take on Cosmos as well (I'm old enough to remember the first Carl Sagan version.)

Maddow got clearly rattled early in that show and basically just freaked out from then on. She came across unprepared and defensive and seemed to not really be there at all until New Rules (you could at least hear her laughing.) She had done well in the past so it's not clear what her problem was with Gillespie besides him being a bit douchy/creepy and him talking the most. He wasn't nearly as bad as most of the random Neocon/CNBC broads that are on the show (or that Kennedy bitch) who just would scream over everyone and furtively attempt to "jedi mind scramble topic change" mid argument. I doubt its easy to get new guests on this show, so you can't blame BM for trotting out the same folks twice or more per season. I'm sure they aim to get opinionated and somewhat interesting people (no matter how loathsome their positions may be) but finding those that will show up and participate is another story.

I would love to hear from a booker/producer from the show to let us know how hard it is to get guests, especially "conservatives." They have literally no reason to be there unless they are promoting a book or some new teabagger website or something - or just like to troll Bill and the other guests/audience. I guess in some respects the same could be said for the drop in's but since most of them are actors/musicians/tv people who cares. Salam is there because he'll show up. He'll have a list of talking points and crap he's paid to puke out by some think tank and he does it, usually by yelling over everyone else, changing the subject, and being horribly annoying - so it was particularly heartwarming that the crazy Entertainment channel bird shut him the gently caress down right off the bat. As bad as he is he's still better than the Surfer Bob Dornan and screaming Kennedy types.

nope, just the beginning "chair" segment, she didn't come off as completely deranged and they made fun of their 1990's hair from the "PI" days. New Rules kind of sucked, in hindsight, as well.

The guy in the middle and the MSNBC lady needed not be there as they both were horrific. I skipped vast portions of it watching on my PC and HBO-GO. The other guy (who has been there a lot before) is horrible but not in the same way they were. Taibbi held his own and called out some bullshit they were spewing and the New Rules pizzadouchelord rant made up for the panel but yeah overall pretty "meh."

Concur about Steele......seems massively reasonable for a GOPer and doesn't scream and spit over everyone even the semi annoying canadian liberal lady, no wonder they ran him out (and the strip club stuff too I imagine). HIBBA BIBBA! New Rules owned again and watching Spitzer laugh his rear end off was refreshing and the show pretty much scrubbed off the stink of those assclowns last week.

Her noontime MSNC show is not completely horrible and she isn't nearly as annoying as she was last night. She basically just acts as a ringleader for some other people making quips but there are no "OBBBUMER" rants. However, I've only seen it a few times so perhaps she goes full nuclear Glenn Beck if she starts feeling too "soft." I'm thinking she just tries to be devil's advocate on Bill's show as well as try to obnoxiously keep her Fox News "anti-liberal bonus points" at a certain level so she can keep appearing there too. Carville owns, "pine on skull" is my new favorite saying.

The Republican lady from Miami says something about "Obbbaumaa lied about the reason for the Benghazi attack - Patraeus said so today derp derp derp!" and Bill goes "you only got that from what your GOP sources (FOX NEWS) are spouting, none of the actual transcripts have been released" and then the lady mutters under her breath "yeah, yer right." EDIT: Refer to the link Buddy Ryan posted, Patraeus testified today at a hearing. Keyser_Soze fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Nov 17, 2012 |

It's only the blowhards like Moore that will even go on the show for the most part anyway. Outlets like RTWBM serve only as "outlets" for whatever message they have been programmed to deliver. Don't expect any actual discussion. It's not like there is a line of reasonable normal conservatives out there begging to get on his show (not if they ever want to go on Fox News or attend CPAC or the Heritage Foundation Golf Tournanment ever loving again). Hell, if I was Bill I'd throw completely random questions at them like where do they like to vacation, what is their favorite drink, favorite sports team, etc just to gently caress with them and see if they have to call someone before they answer.

I'm 44 and there was a huge gap between Iran hostage, 83 Lebanon USMC barracks, to WTC 1 in 93. We grew up waiting for Russia to drop nukes, not terrorists hitting our soil. We were aware of all the 70's European poo poo like Munich/Red Army/Baader Meinhof/Carlos et al, though it just wasn't anything we were worried about ever coming here.

I was getting more of a roided out Church of Satan vibe from that guy, tbh. ...and call me old and (no I don't live in Brooklyn and have a giant beard) but when I first heard of "VICE" the tv show (I guess it was spawned by a mag) I was thinking police "vice" type poo poo not horrible poo poo happening across the world. It's a great show but I think they miss out on some viewers that may just pass through it thinking it's a cop show or something.

Dan O'Neill is/was basically an auto reviewer for WSJ and other place like that Adam Corolla show last year and I think he did pretty well and was good and putting facts out there without frothing at the mouth. I can't remember if he's been on before but I wanted him to review a car for the gently caress of it midway. The think tank guy and cute sorority GOP "stratergy" girl were always on message like bought mouthpieces always are, no surprises there - but neither were extraordinarily repulsive and rude, like a lot of them are - so there's that.

^that's it exactly. They do not want, will not train and will not hire a 22 yo for that "$40k" job, they want a 30 yo with $100k equivalent experience for that "$40k" job and will sit there with their arms crossed and wait until someone is hosed enough to do it for them. If that doesn't work they'll outsource the mechanical engineering, maintenance to some company that sets up in Alabama or Texas and brings in $12/hr slaves to do it in the same way Airline maintenance is done now. Race to the bottom. You can't keep the execs flush in bonuses and stock option windfalls without crushing the worker scum! Rowe's Dirty Jobs experience was mostly dealing with super small locally owned pig slop, rodent removal, septic tank type companies as far as I remember - but he seemed to be coming from a good place so let him keep doing it because we do need more focus on trades. Going and putting yourself in $50k debt from Wyotech, ITT and then only finding PT non-benefited work is not the answer either. I almost turned this show off when Leather Tuscadero got annoying (which was instantly)

Yeah! Everyone let's go open a "General Store" in a strip mall right across the street from a Wal Mart! I'm sure that will work out well! It's 1850 in America again! Most likely our "bootstraps" will be cut immediately due to the fact we won't even be able to "rent" the space from the Corporate Strip mall owners, unless we are already a national chain of some sort and even then it would be $25k per month.

Bill's also referring to lazy 20-30 something parents that set up basketball hoops in their streets and playgrounds in their backyards or park their kids in front of a tv because they are too lazy and too busy posting pics of their kids or what they had for lunch on Facebook to actually walk their children down the street to the playground without a major effort.

that last VICE episode on the gulf was eye-opening....that place is hosed for the foreseeable future in the name of corporate freedom and liberty. We all pretty much assumed the place was hosed after 2010 - but by 2012 it had died down and got buried quick and quite frankly by now a lot of folks already forgot about it and assumed all was normal and shrimps' be everywhere.

I'm in Cal   so it doesn't matter - but for other states and for the popular vote needing to be overwhelming and for possibly upsetting a few GOP congressional seats it does.
