What's his last name? :)
No, but seriously . . . I don't care what you think of Bill Maher (no,
really I don't), I think he's great. More importantly, I wanted to say that
if you didn't see his friday show with PJ O'Rourke and Ben Affleck, you
should scour your HBO schedule for the repeats just to catch special guest
Ron Paul. It's so inspiring to hear a politician who has the guts and
self-respect to just say what IS, undiluted, and not decorated with the
cornball, disingenuous, push-button slogans the other "republican"
contenders spew.
No surprise he's been barred from some of the "debates" . . . you can't have
someone being direct and honest in the middle of a bullshit contest.
Spoiler.
Bill obviously likes this guy, but I think even he was a bit shocked by the
amount of howling applause Ron Paul got from this notoriously liberal
audience.
There's something seriously wrong when a guy like this has little chance of
making it to the final contest because he can't compete financially. This
must change. Hey, how 'bout a grassroots underground movement to write him
in, with Mike Gravel for vice. (Gravel was the straight talking spoiler at
the Democratic debates, for those who missed that).
Oh, if only we could stop voting for smiles, poses, and empty promises.
