[Cush]

Aaron MCGruder, Michael Moore and John Edwards will be on

[Cush]

1. lol

Maher says Clark is a Dem because when he was young, he actually fought in a war

[FlashHarry]

2. Addressed the Clark/GOP thing

Said Clark said 'he didn't fit in with the GOP because he was pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, and... when he was young and impressionable, fought in a war."

[Cush]

3. John Edwards up now

on the Satellite

"Bush is trying to shift the tax burden from the wealthy, to the workers"

[jayfish]

44. Maher Let Him Off The Hook...

on the legalization question. I found that strange.

Jay

[thebigidea]

47. yeah, but probably because the time was running out

Edwards didn't really answer the question, changed the subject to crack vs. powder cocaine...

[Cush]

4. Uh oh

he froze when Bill asked if "saying we will spend to support the troops" is just an excuse not to take a stand, just like the war debate

[bicentennial_baby]

5. What was that?!

It was like a literal deer caught in the headlights moment!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

Are we surprised?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. Issa is a fucking idiot

.

[stanwyck]

21. He cried

at his press conference when he had to end his bid to run for governor after he'd bankrolled the recall signatures. Arnie swept in and stole the Repub. support cause he has the marquee name. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.

[Cush]

19. GO BIll

Davis could get 47%, yet Arnold could win with 16%, is that really the will of the people?

[Cush]

20. Time for the Panel

Moore, McGruder and Barkley

[burythehatchette]

22. WOW

3 independents

[Cush]

23. What Needs to be done now?

Most Important thing to fix in the US

Barkley: Public schools

Bill: We need to find Saddam

Aaron: Forget Saddam, we need Osama

Moore: More troops have died in Iraq & Afghanistan than the first two years of Nam

[alphafemale]

38. More folks have died in Iraq & Afghanistan than the 1st 2yrs of Vietnam?

Actually, I have little doubt that IS true.

I thought that tidbit needed it's own subject line.

:wow:

[Cush]

24. the debates

Barkley: I'm not watching, its liek CNN & FOX, its people arguing and at the end its like "What Happened?"

Aaron: Joe Lieberman needs to drop out now, he ain't gonna win

[Cush]

25. lol

talking about Dean's favorite song

[burythehatchette]

26. OK

that was FUNNY

[Cush]

27. Terrosism

Bill playing the Devils Advocate: Are we overreacting?

Moore: Its all about fear, so we give the Admin what they want

Charles: YOu can't stop them

Aaron: 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to Bush

[burythehatchette]

29. This is the most intelligent discussion I've seen in ten years

[Cush]

28. Moore going off

Everytime Bush wants something he brings up 9/11, 9/11, 9/11

[burythehatchette]

31. top 10 percent of farmers get 70 pct of subsidies

sounds sorta like dist of wealth

[Cush]

30. John Mellencamp up

farm subsidies

[Cush]

32. Moore brings up Diebold!!!

and how the President of the company is one of Bush's Pioneers, and how he's raising $$$$$ for Bush

He's in charge of our elections that are now supposed to be fair & free?? Why aren't we talking about this?

[Cush]

33. NASCAR Dad's

Moore: These people are manipulated by the Republicans and they are starting to realize it

[stanwyck]

34. NASCAR Dads

being discussed. McGruder and Moore saying how this group is manipulated by conservatives. NASCAR Dads have been had. They believe they're going to get rich. But they're not.

[Cush]

35. now Reagan

Bill says maybe he wasn't such an idiot

Barkley implies that he's an asshole

[Cush]

36. New Rules

Prince Harry is going to hurt someone

[blkgrl]

37. Barkley keeps putting his foot in his mouth

I wasn't impressed with his ignorant comments about A. Sharpton and C. M-Braun (although he did manage to sugar coat it with a joke). Then his comments about 911 being the greatest thing to happen to us didn't come across that well (even though he managed to clean up some of the damage).

[KharmaTrain]

39. Charles Surprised Me

and I think others as well...especially Mahrer who brought up his line about being a Repugnican and wanting to run for Gov. of Alabama.

If Charles was a Bushie, it doesn't quite look like it now (probably like J.C. Watts...where's he hiding?) and while he looked like an igorant fool since he really didn't look like he really is paying that much attention to the primaries (and honestly who besides us junkies are?), his focus is on a bigger picture...which is where we should all be.

[FubarFly]

40. Charles is an opinionated loudmouth

who says what he thinks without thinking about it first. Often he makes an ass of himself, and often he says something which is spot-on. Sometimes both at once.
I don't think it's fair to call Charles a b*shie. He has a lot of money , and has a bit of a greedy streak, but he's honest about what he believes in, and he knows how to admit when he's wrong.
If Charles knew the things we knew about b*sh, there is no way in hell he would ever say another nice word about him.

Just my two cents.

:-)

[minkyboodle]

45. Agreement on Charles

About the Chuckster,
One thing to remember about the guy is he is unscripted. His heart is usually in the right place as shown by tonight's performance. Does he say stupid things?... of course but I have also seen him change positions once being shown more info on the subject. The dude just works off the cuff and sometimes he is wrong. Thats the price he pays he isn't a politician just an athelete with an honest opinion and that is a very rare thing these days.

[alfredo]

41. One of the better shows of the season

too bad we will have to wait several months for a new show.

[blkgrl]

49. no petty squabbling, or guests yelling above one another

Everyone on the show last night was on the same wave length. Or should I say, no conservatives were on the show. No wonder it went so well :-)

[Bozita]

42. Bill has a nice vacation policy...even better than Dumbya's.

Bush takes off for entire months.

Bill takes off for entire seasons.

[SaintLouisBlues]

43. Shrub gave Bill the big vacation

after 9/11/01 when they got Politically Correct canceled.

[minkyboodle]

46. Hate to flip a Simpsons line BUT

"best episode ever"


Scott

[Terwilliger]

50. Bill always shocks me

he can be a miserable motherfucker one moment, and then deliver that great final speech and put the cap on a really good episode

it's a must watch and I will offer it on an ftp serv
