[imax2268]

Could it be that BushCo was wired...?

[deadparrot]

[Kire]

14. Vioxx

we can relieve the pain and suffering of arthritis by killing you

[BlueEyedSon]

15. I (heart) Howard Dean

US healthcare is based on a "sickness model" not a "wellness model".

Yeah baby!

[Cha]

22. I heart that man, too!

He did such a great job..major cutie..and he's into Democracy!

AND he thinks it would be great if Kerry wins!

[Kire]

16. Alanis!

[BlueEyedSon]

17. Dild O'reilly cancelled. Guess he couldn't take the heat!

[BlueEyedSon]

21. Oooops... right. Get yer falafels ready!

[BlueEyedSon]

33. Nope, Garrison Keillor

[EstimatedProphet]

18. Maher just hit the nail on the head

"If they're so concerned about Mary Cheney, why are they treating her like a monster chained up in the bedroom?"

[sonicx]

19. maher: they treat mary cheney like a retarded monster (paraphrase)

[Cha]

25. That rogan guy is doing okay and

isn't bad for a repug..

And Jesse is doing Great..glad I didn't cancel hbo!

TAlking about Sinclair now..

Edit! Scratch rogan ..he just blew it with that disingeous right wing talking lie points.

[Cha]

28. OTOH...Alanis is Rocking!

She makes a lot of sense!

[sonicx]

23. jesse jackson kicking ass

saying cheney crap is a distraction.

[BeyondGeography]

26. Also said Schieffer sucked as a moderator

which he did. No follow-up questions when his initial queries were ignored by Bush.

[Cha]

27. Kicking Ass and taking

Names..He's Brilliant!

TElling it like it is!

[Kire]

32. what did Jesse Jackson say just a minute ago?

everybody started hooting and hollering and I missed it

[sonicx]

39. he's gotten many applause hits. one was for...

outrage over CBS's forged docs, but no outrage over going to war over forged docs.

[Cha]

46. Many applause!

THis audience is Great!

[Cha]

47. Sorry, so much is giong on ..

We'll need a transcript!

[Liberal Gramma]

57. I loved his anecdote about the congregation

Who doesn't have health care? Hands go up
Who is out of a job? Hands go up
Who has a family member in Iraq? Hands go up
and so on until
Who has a gay marriage in their family? No hands

So, he says, why are we talking about this issue instead of the issues that affect us all?

And the whole panel, even the Repug, agreed that "gay" isn't a choice. Take that, Bush!

[Cush]

24. now talking about Sinclair

Bill: ".....I remember when they fucked me"

Jesse Jackson that it's just part of the problem, mentions CBS and ABC, (and the stories they won't air) talks about how NBC is owned by a defence contractor

[sonicx]

30. the freeper said everything should be fair game

LOL, i'm sure he'd be fine with F/911 on NBC.

[KharmaTrain]

29. Rogan's A Troll...LOL

Guess the RNC has this place as off limits as one can get...Rogan looks so out of the loop.

He doesn't even have the right talking points. LOL

Jesse knows a ton about going after a Sinclair, and I forgot about Mahrer's shit with ABC that was led by Sinclair.

[question everything]

60. Rogan was a leading force in Clinton impeachment

so kicking him out after that was a sheer pleasure - if I remember it right.

[Cha]

31. I (Heart) Jesse!

[Kire]

34. I freakin' (heart) Garrison Keillor

you all should read his book!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0670033650/qid=1097897759/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-8655229-6013604?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

[BeyondGeography]

Saturday evening with Garrison is a sacred moment

Just had to get that in...

[Cush]

35. Garrison Keillor now on

guess O'Reilly got bumped

[Book Lover]

36. O'Reilly bagged?

What the heck's *that* about...

[Randi_Listener]

38. O'Lielly Horsefucked

himself

[BlueEyedSon]

44. Damn, I was gettin' my falafel all ready....

[Cha]

37. Garrison Keillor!

Cheer up Dems has become his mission.

"bush doesn't own Jesus or Guns"!!

[Booster]

40. Garrison just reminded me of something.

The word "insurgent" should be thoroughly defined to the American public. There is only one word used in the dictionary to define the word and that is "rebel"; to rebel when your country is invaded is the most normal thing in the world to do, especially when the invading army starts killing innocent civilians and kids. If Americans could put themselves in the body and mind of an Iraqi, I wonder what they would do.

[RummyTheDummy]

42. Those who fought against the British in the Rev. War were insurgents

From a technical standpoint. Oh wait, somebody already said that.

[Huckebein the Raven]

54. But that would require them think critically outside what they

have been told to think. Now, if we had an objective media in this country coupled with a massive deprogramming effort then yes I could see that happening. Also, it could be that people just want to hear the other side of American foreign policy.

[Huckebein the Raven]

41. And here comes Rogan's right-wing talking points

[Randi_Listener]

43. In over his head

He taking it up his stank anus tonight.

[deadparrot]

45. He's awfully quiet. Bill just keeps slamming him.

[BlueEyedSon]

49. "Let Bush Win"

LOL!

[Cush]

48. whats this about Paris Hilton being a racist?

[sonicx]

51. she was caught on camera once...

saying the n-word. i don't think this story got much press.

[Randi_Listener]

52. It's her favorite word

According to all of her friends. Some have ended the friendship since she can't stop saying the N-word.

[ibegurpard]

59. I thought it was "hot"

I watched her stupid show ONCE and all she ever seemed to say was "that's hot!"

[Kire]

50. Let Bush Win?

Reminds me of what Jon Stewart said on Xfire today about his being a comedian vs. a citizen.

Was anybody else bored during this show again?

Bill Maher...grrrrr!

[NEDem]

56. At first I said WTF, but it turned out quite funny

I know we are all ready to freakin explode at anyone who says anything but good things about Kerry/Edwards, but this was funny. In a Cohen Brothers movie kinda way, black humor is funny to me. It wasn't his best end of show commentary, but it was still funny.

[IkeWarnedUs]

53. What the fuck was that?!?!?!?

I realize he was trying to be satirical, but even the audience didn't know how to respond.

It wasn't funny. Maybe as a passing joke, but not as a closing statement.

Bad form Bill.

[Cha]

55. Yeah, I turned it off then and listened

to the link that has Jon Stewart on Crossfire..

There seems to always be at least one thing on real time that I have to mute or turn off.

But Jesse was Brilliant as was Alanis Morrisette and Dean!..And Garrison was good, too.

[BlueEyedSon]

58. It was a slam on Bush. No president could offer as much material

for a satirist (i.e. be as "bad").
