1. Good or poor choice of words

I can't decide: "Let's get into it Wolfe. let's get into it."

4. Maher, blaming the kids?

says they have much more power over Foley than foley had over them.. Ahhhhh.. my brains bouncing in my head. How could he say that?

[Berserker]

5. Same way he kept

saying the page was 17

[aquart]

7. He's in his forties and single?

Did someone once say his dates are all in their early 20s?

[DesertRat]

6. Said it's not pedophilia cause the pages were the age of consent....

:eyes:

8. I wonder what Maher's deal is.

So far, the only people defending Foley are people with something to lose.

12. his point:

his sarcasm at the beginning of the segment said to everyone (at least everyone who gets sarcasm) that the foley story is not the most important story. he was focusing on the more important crap happening about the war in iraq. his agenda is the bigger picture

10. Who gives a shit what bill maher

has to say? Nothing against you, kimp.

[LSK]

11. so its official? hes jumped the shark?

[la la]

13. no-

some people just don't get Bill Maher's sense of humor.

[LSK]

14. i'll have to see the clip

[Marlie]

16. Don't know if he jumped the shark

But I can't help but wonder how many young girls Maher has hit on and they would
love to say "Go F**k yourself old man" but are intimidated by his celebrity and power so they just go along a bit. If it was anyone else but him they would. This would also apply to the pages who were disgusted by Foley but too scared, flattered, etc. to say anything. Maher's attitude on this was pretty disgusting.

17. Maher definitely has issues. Usually, with women

I agree with Maher at least 75% of the time. And I really appreciate his fearlessness about taking on the religious right. He'll say what others are too timid to say about losing the separation between church and state in our country.
But. When it comes to sex, and women, Maher makes me cringe. He doesn't have a very high opinion of women and often makes comments which reveal his ugly streak of misogyny.
I didn't see the clip you're referring to, could be he was being ironic about the pages.
And maybe not.
He has a few pieces missing from his puzzle on a few issues.
And sex is one of those issues.

information.."IT'S THE COVERUP, STUPID!"
