This week, Bill Maher welcomes actor Garry Shandling, TV personality Phil Donahue, blogger Arianna Huffington.

Plus, Real Time correspondent Matt Taibbi and, via satellite, economist Jeffrey Sachs.

Donahue and Huffington should singlehandedly elevate the show from the boring shitfest it was last week. Pity there isn't a conservative talking head for them to smack around. Unless you count that douchebag Taibbi.

Looks like a good show.

I think Garry Shandling took a few too many Vicodins for that busted leg.

Why couldn't Garry Shandling shut the fuck up? I know he's amusing to all of you, but he just ate up time, time and more time. At least Robin Williams knew his place when to shut up and not derail where the debate was going, or even add insightful pieces of information that no one else knew. Real crime though was that Donahue only got to speak 4 times, what the fuck!? And it was only about the war, except for the last part? BULLSHIT!

I know Maher and Shandling are friends, but when you have good panelists are on like Donahue and Huffington, don't invite Shandling!!!

And Shandling is doing the exact same fucking thing with overtime he did the last time, bastard's got a memory problem.

I'm glad Maher hasn't insulted my questions either.


Edit: A NEW RECORD!

I didnt get alot of what Garry Shandling was saying. Alot of it was a bit incoherent and he did spend alot of time not saying much at all. Typical signs of an opiate user. lmao I kid!

CosmicRocker

wow. dude. do they pay you royalties?

Ya Gary Shandling is fucked up. On Vicodins, or just oh so trying to be cool.
A total waste of time.

Huffington is such a shrill shill for Obama, she can't even deal with Hillary wininng Pa.
She has to get in her Obama talking points, no matter what.
Small wonder my post count at HP continues to stagnate

I would have liked to hear more from Donahue.
But Shandling has to try to make everthing into a clever joke - even when the panelists are actually getting into a groove.
Gary. Next time you show up?
Be sure to get there a little early so you can get all those clever, yet inane jokes off to Bill.
The rest of us would actually like to keep a conversation thread going

THen there is Bill . focused. fair, and incisive.
The only reason I tune in to watch the show.
He's an Obama supporter, but realizes 49% of the Democratic party doesn't enjoy the snarks of the oh so PC Hollywood crowd.

I'm gonna miss him till Aug 22.
On a positive note-we might even have a nominee by then !!

I dont think Matt Taibbi is a conservative.

I love Matt Taibbi. Hes funny as hell. I can see him having his own show in the future.

CosmicRocker

you nailed it.
as an ex-junkie i recognize the brain buzz that gets you all warm and fuzzy. You believe you got all the right things to say.
Yet somehow your words come out like chocolate syrup spilled over molasses..

If I could only get these amazing thoughts to actually come out of my scrambled brain.
The whole world would feed me more dope, so I could be the Great Oracle.
