5. I figure that a lot of DUers don't get HBO - or even have TV

Or stay up as late as I do. Back in the day, the show used to be posted here with a warning that it wouldn't last long, so that's why I started posting the "official" version and often manage to find any missing segments, like this week's New Rules. And we know that these videos aren't going anywhere.

I did have a major problem with tonight's show. And this is in no way, shape or form a criticicm of you at all, just of Bill. He kept repeating that the crazy Central Park lady, Amy Cooper was a liberal and an Obama donor, which was absolutely NOT true.

There has been a lot of research on the internet done and there are numerous Amy Coopers in NYC and the Amy Cooper that contributed to Obama and other liberal politicians was Amy L. Cooper, who is a retiree. The crazy park lady is Amy M. Cooper who is clearly not a retiree and obviously hated Obama as confirmed by her ex-boyfriend/stalkee/victim who stated that she went berzerk on him when she had learned that he had voted for him.

Lot's more there, but it can be found on the internet. Anyway, it pisses me off that Bill didn't even confirm his data before he went off half cocked about it bitching about liberal women being racist. It actually made me sick. It was low, even for him.

Otherwise, his guests were good and I suppose I couldn't have expected them to do all the research either, so they couldn't refute him when he presented them with that information. Very irresponsible of him.

Anyway, thank you for posting. I always appreciate it, even when I do have issues with the show.

We'll have to check next week to see if Bill announces the mistake on his show - I'm betting he does. That really is something he's bound to hear about, he probably already has...

That said, it was a relief that he had some good guests and even Jay Leno's humor was welcome. I turned the TV to MSNBC just to check in with the news and they cut away from the repeat of Brian Williams to show live coverage from across the country. Every single time we think it can't possibly get worse, it inevitably does. That's life in Trump's version of America...
