I was actually thinking about you on that Hex, who's the lesser evil in if you had to take the whole Hitchens package? Hitchens the Clinton hater, or Hitchens the terrorist bullshiter?

Speaking of which, Harry Shearer single handed saved the show from mediocrity since Shashi Tharoor was equipped more for an interview and not a panel while Hitchens kept going off on half-assed tangents. Shearer gave the show a great entertainment boost and bolstered some nice tidbits. Like a sedated Robin Williams.

Nice to see we got a full new rule rant finally. Although I miss the old lighting bolt to the greek temple intro.

Hitchens!!

Now if only Bill could get the good Reverend Al Sharpton on the show tonight.

I have to admit, I am a couple of Real Time episodes behind. I hope I haven't missed anything too exciting, but every once in awhile I lose interest in Bill's show.

I think Bill just needs to keep certain subjects of the show when Hitchens is on then he's not so bad.

They aren't covering enough topics. Bill also seems a little off his game. I will still watch but it is not as good as it use to be.

He tired to and if Shearer didn't defuse the situation when Maher tried to avoid it, we would have had a Saddam terrorist Hitchens tinfoil hat theory clusterfuck for 7-10 minutes.

I find it strange he doesn't have more new guests on.

Still a better hour than most.

Black_Knight · 03-02-2008, 01:17 PM

Finally watched Overtime curious with what the topics other people would bring up and... What was the last question asked?

*Raises hand and gestures three fingers*

I laughed out loud and slapped my thigh a few times because... Wow...

Well that blows my theory of only 2 questions a season out of the water. But that's 3 questions asked in 5 eps.

Nice job, BK.

I enjoyed the show, I think the thing that sticks with me the most is the Obama security thing.
(WTF?)

Are any big news sources talking about this? ...."Looks like a friendly crowd" - are they fucking kidding us??

The dude on the grassy knoll is in a clean shirt, he MUST be ok.
