Also with overtime, it's a craps shot if your question gets picked, I after my fourth question, the formula I had was blown to hell. I think now they just pick what ever they feel Maher is best suited for and not in general.

I think they shuffle them like a card deck and pull one of the top. Then if Maher doesn't like it at the last minute the draw a second time.

With Snow being sick and all I try to cut him some slack but yes he is a complete piece of shit. I wish he would just stay out of the public eye so I could try to forget about him.

My analogy is on point. I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt that you are just Maher fans and are finding whatever good you can about the shows right now, because they are awful. No good guests are showing up, in honor of the strikers. First ep had Carlin and Brokaw slated. Instead, it was the Tony Snow windbag hour. The only other reason you guys could possibly tolerate the snoozers Bill's hauling out there (maybe except the Rolling Stone writer, but come on, Real Time can not rest on his input alone for the long haul), is if you're so anti union that you're rooting for this show to do well so management wins the strike. I doubt that, considering most of your guys' politics. But either way, enjoy finding the silver lining in these uninteresting and unfunny substitutions for what is the best political/entertainment program on television (thanks partly to it's writers).

I was talking about the Favre analogy to Teri.

Have you read my posts here? Me finding whatever good there is? No....I do enjoy the show...but I have my problems with lot's of stuff. Sure some of it is about his hair and his shirt....but I have also been VERY critical of his treatment of his staff on air as well as tonights stupid dance joke.

You do agree this show is taking a beating due to the strike, then?

Well they do have to pick particular ones since you have to remember there are a lot of shit questions or ones that are way to drawn out. I notice that all the questions that are selected are within the first 40 posts, with a few exceptions.

My strategy would be a variation of voting in Chicago. Post early, post often.

Oh hell yeah!

The humor is nearly gone....but I did laugh at the joke about the debate looking like the local weekend News Anchors...."And now, back to you Hillary. Wow that was a big basket of puppies."

I think the best way to take the show is cut the monologue down and cut the video and mock piece bullshit and have more debate.
