I posted the whole Bill Maher Real Time from last night.

Bill’s opening monologue touches on the L.A.P.D. beatings in MacArthur Park, the fires in Griffith Park, Dick Cheney’s involvement with the D.C. prostitution scandal (Hint:Dusty Foggo/Duke Cunningham), and Tony “The Peoples Poodle” Blair.
Then:
Richard Engel live via satellite from Beirut Lebanon tells Bill that Iraqis are not on the American political time line vis-a-vis “SEPTEMBER”
The next segment has Bill immediately asking Frank Luntz what the sudden use of the prefix “DR.” is all about. Dr. Luntz then tells Arianna Huffington that she is very angry, Bill tells comedian Paula Poundstone that he is still trying to get over the clown suit that she is wearing and Luntz convinces everyone that he is a stark raving lunatic.
n which “War in Iraq” cheerleader Chris Hitchens speaks about religion and mysteriously seems to refer to Karl Rove as “DR. ROVE” …twice.
The one/two combination platter of Hitchens and Luntz give you an idea of the sort of wind-bag that passes for right-wing/conservative/ Neo-con/Straussian blah blah blah….these days.
Then NEW RULES Bill Maher would like Youtube uploaders not to edit out the nice things he has to say about the L.A.P.D.

1. Frank Luntz is a dipshit

He's worse than Rasputin. He's one of the people who makes me want to punch through the tv screen every time I see him.

:grr:

2. I could not reiterate more,...

...your comment on that vile bag of flesh that is Frank Luntz. He bears responsibility for getting these ruthless gangsters into office just a Karl Rove does. Sick proteges of Joseph Goebbels.

5. According to The New Republic

...Luntz...helped write Republican House member Newt Gingrich's Contract with America...(and) later...advised Republicans trying to impeach Bill Clinton...(He) recently bought a condominium in...California, and he's intent on dispensing with the capital city altogether...(But) in his anger and disappointment with...Washington, he is forgetting one thing: He, as much as anyone else, is responsible for the very mess he desperately wants to escape.

...Luntz's career has been about...cheapening language and obscuring honest discussion...Luntz's most notorious memo may be the one he sent out in 2003 about...global warming: "Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue"--even though no such "lack of scientific certainty" exists.

...(M)essage discipline can't mask what most Americans see as a failed administration and a corrupt party. And, for this message shaper, nothing could be more frustrating.

Your "anger and disappointment" is the result of the FAILURE your "message discipline" to prevail in November '06, Frank--that's the REAL reason why you're blowing town. In other words, WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK?

LYING!

4. Didn't Poundstone have some Michael Jackson-esque legal problems?

(Gets off shiftless lazy ass and does her own research):

In 2001 Poundstone was arrested on a felony warrant for three counts of committing a lewd act on an unidentified girl under the age of 14...The lewd conduct charges, found to be without basis, were dropped. Poundstone pled guilty to charges of felony child endangerment and misdemeanor inflicting injury on a child. Few details were released, but the prosecutor indicated that the charges were a result of an incident in which Poundstone was driving her children while intoxicated. Poundstone was sentenced to five years probation and 180 days in an alcohol rehabilitation program. Following completion of the program, she was granted full custody of her adopted children...
