This weeks episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher was very very good. First off Barney Frank (D-MA) pummeled Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal. It so was effective Jason Alexander basically didn't say anything. Moore looked like a laughing idiot that reminded me of Arnold Horshack. David Kuo was also on pushing his new book Tempting Faith which also sounds good. Maher ended the show as he always does with New Rules, this was my favorite:
"New rule in two parts: (A) you can't call yourself a think tank if all your ideas are stupid and (B) if you're someone from one of the think tanks that dreamed up the Iraq war and predicted that we'd be greeted as liberators, and that we wouldn't need a lot of troops, and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war, that the WMDs would be found, that the looting wasn't problematic and the mission was accomplished and the insurgency was in its last throws, that things would get better after the people voted, after the government was formed, after we got Saddam, after we got his kids, after we got Zarqawi, and that the whole bloody mess wouldn't turn into a civil war; you have to stop making predictions."
Maher's delivery was good, rather than just read it, catch it on HBO this week or wait for it be on You Tube.
