two loud mouth wingers. Maher didn't seem particularly interested in moderating the conversation after he reminded everyone of Bush's comments on the original 9/11

Goldie was weak.

The only good thing was Taibi and then he got schooled when the guy challenged him on Bain saving like 90% of their companies...and then Maher's New Rules was a WIN...Otherwise, the show suck.

Though I did like the interview with the farmer dealing with Genetically modified crops, that was VERY interesting to me, but I'm a science geek.

Fund was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend. There's also ugly stuff about his relationship with his girlfriend's daughter, an abortion, etc.

Former girlfriend's civil case against WSJ columnist John Fund begins

QUOTE:

Fund, a former WSJ editorial writer who also appears as a conservative commentator on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN, is accused of battering an ex-girlfriend.

The bizarre story started in 1999, when Fund became involved with Morgan Pillsbury, now 38, the daughter of another former fling.

As the romance soured, she made accusations of physical and emotional abuse. She has also blamed him for a traumatic abortion....

One came out in the summer of '08 before the Nov. '08 election; the other one, two months ago, just in time to inject more suspicion out there against possible perpetrators. I'm sure they were both heavily promoted and quoted on Fox Noise.

Either that guy has a hard time hiding his smirky attitude toward other people (that is, those who don't agree with him) or else he is just a natural-born jerk with his personality disorder(s) showing.

First time I ever even laid eyes on him I couldn't stand him and I hate it that he even gets asked on anything other that right wing shows, because he deals in falsehoods.
