1. This was another good episode imo...

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I certainly agree!

A very funny show and great guests tonight - and not a RWer in the bunch!

[Heartstrings]

3. yes!

It's always better when no one from the dark side is on...lighter, fresher, funnier, relaxed....

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Exactly!

The free exchange of ideas rather than arguing. You described it perfectly. I wish that Bill would realize this and stick with it - his audience would appreciate it and it's got to be more comfortable for everyone there. He's got enough issues to rant about without arguing with his guests...

[Heartstrings]

5. For sure!

I dread any repukes on his show, they just suck the air out of everything!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. When he's had certain ones on, it's been tough for me to watch

They seem to talk the most and constantly interrupt. Even if they're isolated in his initial interview, it casts a pall over the rest of the show because whatever was said naturally becomes part of the discussion. There's already so much to talk about without getting sidelined...

[Heartstrings]

7. You have that right....

Ann Coulter made me wretch, evil evil person!

[Rhiannon12866]

9. She's clearly the worst, but there are others

I'm not a fan of S.E. Cupp or Amy Holmes and Rick Santorum was also on numerous times.

10. Masturbate, don't procreate!

Thanks for posting!

[question everything]

11. Thanks for posting

I loved the clip about Pence, eating the banana sideways..

[Rhiannon12866]

14. I also love when he includes the funny bits...

They're always well done and we sure need the humor these days...

12. Hear, Hear!

Great show! I am all for reduced population!
