1. Well, studio panel is OK but Mamet decided some years ago that he was a conservative

2. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea what to expect from him...

I guess Bill misses the chance to argue...

5. Anyone who can say that has to be certifiable, tells me all I need to know

I guess Bill misses arguing with these kinds of guests, he should have learned his lesson with Geraldo.

You know he'll drag Democrats with that Death of Free Speech guest.
