3. i rather liked
that he attempted to see "the other side" of the war in Iraq. it ruffled tail feathers, many were enraged, but it opened a window for the conservative audience. the grand finale on Friday night was a major FU to the likes of ann coulter. i loved it. and consider him genius

13. When he invited conservatives to his show......
thats what I thought he was trying to do......... yet many here on DU were very very quick to turn their back on him even though he knocks Bush 80-90% of the time.

14. There are some hardcore people here at DU. It's why they get in
raging battles over their candidates. Comes with the territory, I suppose.

4. great idea -- he's on tour, I think, until August -- He's in Cincinnati

6. I thought Friday's show was one of the best I've seen...
Here's a partial transcript of his brilliant Chicken Hawk Down commentary during the "New Rules" segment:

The people in America who are most in favor of the Iraq war, must now go there & fight it. The Army missed its recruiting goal by 42% last month. More people joined the Michael Jackson fan club. We’ve done picked all the low-lying Lyndie England fruit. And now, we need warm bodies…

Now last week in North Carolina, a Baptist minister told 9 members of his congregation that unless they renounced their 2004 vote for John Kerry they had to leave his church. Well…if we’re that certain these days that George Bush is always that right about everything, then going to Iraq to fulfill the glorious leader’s vision would seem the least one could do. And hey, if it makes it any easier for you, just think of it as a reality show: Fear Factor: Shitting in Your Pants edition.

Now, I know you’re thinking, ’But Bill…I already do my part with the “Support Our Troops” magnet I have on my Chevy Tahoe. How much more can one man give?’ Here’s an intriguing economic indicator. It’s been almost a year since they’ve graduated, but neither of the Bush twins has been able to find work. Why don’t they sign up? Do they hate America or just freedom in general?

But mostly, we have to send Mr. & Mrs. Brittany Spears. Because Brittany once said, “We should trust our president in every decision he makes. And we should just support that & be faithful in what happens.” Okay, somebody has to die for that.

In summation, you cannot advocate for something you wouldn’t do yourself.

Hey Bill, long time fan here!

Your show with Gore Vidal was a thing of beauty...a glowing intellect and wit without the screaming head interrupting.

Vidal is a national treasure.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
