Real Time With Bill Maher

[minstrel]

Yoo hoo! Did you watch it Squirrelly?

Thoughts...?

Yes, I watched it. Mos Def is nuts. Even Cornel West, who may also be nuts, is totally sane and normal next to Mos Def.

I got the impression that Mos Def isn't very well informed. It seems like he sits around dreaming up a bunch of paranoid delusions, decides that they are facts, and goes on talk shows to tell everyone about them.

Mos Def's real name is Dante Terrell Smith, which, as everyone knows, can be rearranged to spell "That Smellier Trend". If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would assign significance to this. But I'm not, so I don't.

Then I suppose you were aware that "Maui, Ms. Toshiro Lucas" can be rearranged to spell "I'm hot! Miraculous ass!"

Weren't you? 'Cause WE all were!

That'll get you a bag of peanuts!!!

[Peven]

"miraculous ass"??? this i gotta see.......................

[Fievel]

I'm just imagining the flocks of Third World fanatics that are currently on route to pay homage to The Miraculous Ass.

That's pretty fucked up right there.

[Peven]

if there is something worth praying to it is a miraculous ass

[TheBaxter]

I determine who goes to the corner.

Swayze style?

Yeah....I do get the DD reference though, just so you know.

you know what i just noticed?

nobody puts Maui in a corner.

why d'you think that is?

EDIT:

obviously it must be because of The Miraculous Ass.

Bill Maher is working on a movie called Religulous

Larry Charles has been working in TV for years, though he's probably best known as the man who helped usher in the unwelcome tidal wave of bad Borat impressions when he directed Sacha Baron Cohen to infamy in Borat. Before showing us what it would look like if two swarthy European dudes almost 69'd, Charles wrote and produced on "Seinfeld" and "Entourage," among others. Charles is now pairing with Bill Maher for the documentary Religulous, which will take a look at organized religion in America, with a focus on skewering established faiths and a focus on those believers whose fringe practices tend to make everyone else a little nervous. There's nothing wrong with poking a stick in the eye of those who are perverting what for many is an honest, personal way of life -- Jesus Camp is a good example of this -- but I'm worried that Maher and Charles will wind up committing a version of Christopher Hitchens' mistake, namely, transferring their problem with some of organized religion's angriest or most zealous followers onto religion itself. It's like demonizing the idea of education in general because you have a problem with No Child Left Behind. Nevertheless, Maher and Charles will be sending up some choice targets, including the Holy Land Experience, a biblical theme park located (somehow appropriately) a scant few miles from Disney World in Orlando. The park re-stages the Crucifixion every afternoon, which is a little terrifying, and makes it the kind of place tailor-made for someone as sharp as Maher to pull apart with his comedy. But here's hoping the film manages to strike a good balance. "Real Time With Bill Maher" is a great show in part because Maher has the stones to stack his panel with people who hold opposing viewpoints and let them debate each other. Maher disagrees with those who believe in God, but that doesn't make them stupid. If he can embrace a level of the tolerance he exhorts the faithful to have for their fellow men, Religulous could rise above a standard diatribe against mass religion and wind up being almost worshipful in its desire to unseat the hypocrites who give many Christians a bad name.

[Fievel]

Actually, it's "Religulous"... a take on "ridiculous" perhaps?

It was early morning and i stand corrected.

do i get a bag of peanuts?

No, you are getting confused with Minstrel.

how about some chocolate then?

[Maui]

Is it just me or was Tucker Carlson just plain annoying last night.

[Fievel]

I've only watched the first half so far. I loved hearing Joy Behar say "pussies" as much as she enjoyed saying it.

Carlson is annoying, but at least he goes on the show. He usually gets his ass beat by Bill, the other two, AND the crowd. I remember he was on a couple of years ago and said the word "bullshit". I was impressed, even though he practically whispered the word. AND, at least he was wearing a REAL tie.

Yeah but it was a pink tie. He has many valid points - but just a bit pompous.

Joy was funny!!!

[Zarles]

Tucker annoys me no end. Is it me, or have his political leanings slanted SHARPLY to the left ever since Bush's approval ratings dropped so suddenly? Fear for your job much, Tucker?

Obnoxious dickhead. Anyone remember the episode of his old show Crossfire where Jon Stewart came on and basically told him that he and his show were what was wrong with America?

Well yeah for Jon Stewart!!!!!!! He was just rude to that other guy. Hate that. Talked over everyone - "Look at me" mentality. blah!

[Zarles]

I really wanted to hear what the third panelist had to say, but Fucker Carlson just kept yelling over him and telling him he didn't know what he was talking about. Typical talking-head Conservative jackass, if you ask me.

I also really wanted to hear Joy Behar go off about Elizabeth Hasselbeck, but alas.

[Maui]

I really wanted to hear what the third panelist had to say, but Fucker Carlson just kept yelling over him and telling him he didn't know what he was talking about.

Yes, the 3rd panelist was the intellect of the group - and he barely got a word in.

Blackwater blah blah blah.

Yeah, that's right, the dude who said noone's been to the moon yet. Definitely the intellect of the group.

Fucker Carlson

[Maui]

Well she did say something about not being able to call Barbara Walters a pussy. That was funny.

[Zarles]

Yeah, but Joy's funny as hell when she can say what she wants, and her sense of humor is really, really black. I'd love to have a beer with her sometime and listen to her dish on some of those idiots.

[Maui]

Well see again, she didn't have much opportunity to talk either but when she did she was most amusing.

[Zarles]

Yeah, she couldn't get a word in edge-wise, either. Thanks again, Fucker!

[Maui]

[Zarles]

This is how Republicans dance, ya'll. He looks like he's torturing her in one of his Abu Gharib fantasies.

Ewwwww!!!!
Girls are gross!!
Yucky!!!!

[Zarles]

Don't make me post the pic of him dancing in Dockers. Because I'll do it.

[Maui]

Was that twit on Dancing with the Stars?

[Zarles]

And here I thought you were a true Fucker fan.



What would Fucker Carlson fans be called? Fuckheads?

[TheBaxter]

in every one of those pictures, you can see the effort he puts into keeping his naughty parts as far away from the girl as possible.

[Zarles]

You mean his mouth, brain, and clear, well-defined amount of bias? You're right.

[Maui]

You mean his mouth, brain, and clear, well-defined amount of bias? You're right.

Debate is fine but his rudeness and "take the high road" mentality if you didn't agree with him was just unacceptable.

[Zarles]

If he would've just shut up for a minute and let the other guy talk, I would've had no problem with him. There's nothing worse than a bully with a tie on. Fucker is the king of those types of people.

a bully with a bow tie?

[Zarles]

Even worse. A bully with no fashion sense.

[Maui]

Well, here's hoping for less Mos Def and Tucker type panelists on Maher's upcoming shows.

Maher's usually pretty good at changing topic or getting them to shuddup. Oh well.

[Zarles]

Maher's awesome. I don't agree with him 100% all the time, though. I loved when Janeane Garofolo was on a few weeks ago, and she all but called him a raging sexist (which I think he is, to an extent).

Oh yeah, I saw that one too with Janeane. There was a recent one with Dr3w Carey as well, he was rather funny.

I try to watch it every Monday.

As much as I like Jon Stewart, I think I prefer Maher.
