... okay, Bill Maher is almost always good, but when accessorized by the likes of Salman Rushdie, Janeane Garafalo and Roseanne, it's simply a no-lose situation- especially when he brings on those who are even less afraid than he is to speak the politically incorrect truth to the vulgarities of power. Please download the Friday, September 12, 2008 episode from HBO online or catch a cable repeat. Below is a slice as the group tag-teams conservative Wallstreet Journal columnist John Fund (who one tried ta put the moves on me while he guested at a conservative lecture series at my alma mater Hillsdale College). I'm sure Bill had more fun with those edgy liberals at Cornell, but I got a chance to see the other side up close and, er, personal. Please keep in mind this is the college where the President carried on an affair with his daughter-in-law for fifteen years- who eventually blew her brains out in the Lovers Gazebo with a 45 calibre pistol- while noshing with Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley and carrying on the culture war from the Michigan boondocks. Three cheers for family values! You can google that sad and scandalous tale and look for the Vanity Fair article in particular!
Quote of the show:
"The Republican Party is the Unrestrained Id of American Politics!"
