1. Oh yeah!!! I LMAO!!!

It was very uplifting and funny!!!!

[BlueJazz]

2. One of the Best! I watched it twice last night.

[therapist]

3. Worth watching because of Gore Vidal

Not becaue of "stay the course", "no stolen elections" O'Franken

4. If you don't have cable, you can watch excerpts at "Crooks and Liars"

5. Norm Coleman -- The reason for his appearance?

possibly like the runaway bride, a time killer ... oops, I mean time filler.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. To show off his new teeth?

[Bozita]

9. He looked like a jackass eating cactus

Every time I see him, I am reminded of Paul Wellstone.

[Dr.Phool]

8. Colemans a jerk. Is his hairpiece made out of

The remnants of the muskrat used to make Donald Trump's?

[BrklynLiberal]

6. It was a good one.. Gore Vidal alone, made it worthwhile.

A couple of the NEW RULES were pretty funny.

[babylonsister]

10. OK, time to watch. Thanks! nt

[Zhade]

11. Maher made a horrendous racist remark about Arabs.

I was fucking APPALLED.

[babylonsister]

12. What was it? Are you sure it wasn't tongue in cheek? nt

[XOKCowboy]

17. I think...

it was when Maher was talking about the FDA not allowing gays to anonymously donate sperm. Maher was for it and equated gays having AIDs to Arabs hijacking planes.

There was a stunned silence by the panel for a second it seemed to me but Al and the lady from ABC defused the situation.

[Zhade]

18. He said Arabs shouldn't fly planes.

And he said he was completely serious. It was disgusting.

[Catherine Vincent]

19. I heard that;

I think you should drop Bill a note and let him know that you were offended. I think some celebrities need to be knocked on the head once in a while, although you shouldn't have to do it. They should know better.

[Zhade]

23. People with far more clout have knocked him for this.

He doesn't give a shit. Seriously.

[B Calm]

13. My dream panel: Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes and Dan Burton...

[Bozita]

14. Gore Vidal, Thom Hartmann, Bill Moyers, Phil Donahue

I'd love to see them together ... that's right ... without any grinning jackasses spouting talking points.

[B Calm]

15. Got to have at least one neo con...

[Bozita]

16. Why? For mano a mano shoutfests, there's always Crossfire

I was thinking along the lines of kickass analysis and commentary.

[safi0]

20. But didn't you

Think the Panel was a little better because you had Franken, Vidal and some lightweight Puke who was obviously scared to get slammed. With all of the three on ones that are commonplace on cable news, I got a little enjoyment seeing the opposite occur

[Bozita]

22. kind of a female Alan Colmes?

I'm pissed that we didn't get 12-15 minutes of Vidal/Maher as opposed to that Coleman kissyfest.

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Yes, Gore Vidal was great.

He seemed like the favorite from the crowd. "We don't need to move on, we need to move out of Iraq".
