New Rule for Bill Maher. HBO talk show hosts who want to talk about politics on their show should actually have to read a few blogs before they write posts at the HuffPo. Then you won't be embarrassing the rest of us by giving right wing liars a pass when they spout propoganda that you don't know how to counter on your show. Please Bill do us a favor. Either read up, or have someone on your show who does when you bring on guests like David Frum and Jack Kingston. I'm begging you. Please.

Update: Sorry I did not realize this topic had already made the rec list here without acknowledging that: Is/Did Anyone Watching the BS on Real Time? but they did not have the video of the show, so it's not a repeat diary and I knew it would not be when I posted it. I hope the community here gives Bill some hell and asks him to please start putting on guests who are smarter than he is if he can't counter these right wing liars on his own when he has them on his show as a balance. Sam Seder, Thom Hartmann and Rachel Maddow all come to mind for me as people who would be good choices. Thoughts from anyone else as who might make a good guest to counter the wingers when he wants to have them on? He sure as hell can't do it on his own after his performance tonight.
