I'll start by saying that I may be too sensitive about this issue. But it's really pissing me off.


Last night I was all excited to sit down and watch Bill Maher @ 11pm.
The panel guests were: Tucker Carlson, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones & Tim Robbins. So I'm thinking Tuckers a dick but the other two are great, this sounds good.

Well, IMHO it WASN'T good. And not because of the guests. Rather, it wasn't good because of MAHER. It really felt to me like he was scooting over to the middle.. toward the "right". I was actually shocked. He was walking all over everything Stephanie & Tim said- and basically said that even though the reasons for going into war were bad..... the elections in Iraq make it good. Tim Robbins pointed out that over 100,000 Iraqis have died since we got there & Maher said he'd never heard that & that he thought 100,000 would have died anyway even if we weren't there because Hussein was evil. To me it really felt like he was saying the "ends" justify the means.
He also really went after Tubbs-Jones about religious freedom & human rights violations.

It reminded me of how nuts Dennis Miller has gone.

Is EVERYONE going to participate in the revised version of history & start declaring that Bush is fine now because those elections went off? BIG DEAL! Big FUCKING DEAL. There, I said it. BFD. George Bush is NOT a visionary, he is NOT a great president, and trying to say he saw things we didn't is BULLSHIT. Complete B.S.

Does anyone else see the media that wasn't previously on the Repub bandwagon going over in that direction? the only 3 people I dint see going that way are: Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann & Ron Reagan.

Thoughts?
