-Barack Obama

I've been watching him since Comedy Central, and its pretty obvious that his guest list just keeps shrinking.

I like how she brought up the Uighurs being persecuted in China and literally thought she was the only person who had heard of it.

She's both condescending and uninformed.

Oh yeah, Bari Weiss is one hell of a stupid bitch, but MMM, you know she's gonna be a Fox News babe right up there with other chronic moron, "What did the KKK do?" Tomi Lahren! I mean, Bill is a Boomer fuckwad, but I think we can all agree when I say I know I'd claim to be liberal with a poo poo eating grin while talking right wing poppycock if it meant a chance to score with that rear end.

Me personally, I always imagine her as some nightmare take on Velma from Scooby Doo if the Mystery Gang was killed by a stereotypical white rich landowner who turned out to be an actual serial killer instead of loving around in a monster suit, and after he got off scot free, directed her powerlessness at the system's injustice into hatred towards brown foreigners.

At least Bill was honest during his Michael Moore interview when he said people turn into "conservative assholes" when they get older. The key word is "rear end in a top hat". Why didn't Moore jump all over that?

Also Maher knows better than to bring back Cornell West because he uses the word "apartheid" appropriately.

Moore is currently wavering on the edge of the abyss of desperation again, like his "Coach Obama" period, so I wasn't too surprised that he's on the desperate conciliatory tack with Maher---maybe if they actually follow through on the Hawaii thing, and we're not all thoroughly doomed by then, he stands a chance at knocking some amount of sense into the man.

West definitely needs to get back in there one way or another as this rotating cast of villainy, discount or otherwise, continues to grind the show down.

This actually isn't true. There is movement to being more conservative when you get older is a myth. The hippies never voted for Reagan, it was the boomers who came slightly after them. Hell, we are even seeing this with younger Gen X who consistently vote Dem despite now being in their 40s.

The other thing to point out, is even if this is true... doesn't this give Moore even more support? The younger generation is screwed and will want to implement policies that it good for them (the struggling) and bad for the powerful.

I'm aware of that, being one of the Gen X-ers. That's why I said the key word is "rear end in a top hat", not conservative. He's admitting to being one as he got older, its like he is encouraging young voters to not be like him. I just wish Moore had jumped on that point. Maher is thin skinned but I don't think he can afford to lose any more friends like Moore with his ever shrinking guest list.

Maybe, but remember Maher has been railing against a perceived �Political Correctness run amok� for about 30 years now. It�s just his gimmick.

Because even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I don�t watch Bill, or anyone else for that matter, because I agree with him all the time. He has interesting points of view, which I occasionally agree with, and even when I don�t it�s somewhat of a useful exercise to figure out why I disagree with them and how I would argue against them.

At the same time, you can still be pissed off at him because he�s �discovered� and presented this epiphany as if it�s some great and novel revelation, when in fact many Black and other minority commentators have been pointing out this exact thing both in the past, and extremely recently, in a far more eloquent fashion informed by personal experience. This article from yesterday morning (!) being one example that hits on very similar themes much more effectively:

To be fair, Barney Frank was cool for a few months when he called that woman a table.

But at this point he is so far up the DNC rear end, it�s amazing he can still breathe.
