Robin Williams would be a solid guest. He actually has a decent understanding of DC and politics.

But unfortunately, nobody can understand him half the time.

Robin's been on the show in the past and is always a great guest for pretty obvious reasons. He doesn't contribute as much to the serious debate as he drops hilarious one liners.

I'd like to see a David Cross again, or perhaps Jon Stewart would be a great guest and I don't think he's ever been on (probably because his show is technically a competing program, even though it's not like they share time-slots).

The one thing I like is Bill tries to have a token republican on and some times more than one.
Unlike some guys he treats them with respect. He may disagree and challenges them with Facts. Fox could learn a thing or two

he also understands nothing about economics.

he never has real libertarians on his show (other than ron paul who has been on a couple of times).

back when i was a brainwashed liberal, i used to think that maher and his guests were smart and discussed real issues. now that i understand economics and the principles of liberty, they just seem like a bunch of bumbling fools. i would love to get on that panel and have a real debate with them.

+1 to all of this, I basically could have written this post and every word would be true for me as well.

I think Maher used to be a libertarian, and has shifted substantially--and he knows it.

I didn't listen to him in the early 90s so I wouldn't know. but I know for a fact for the past 10 years. he has got to be far left supreme liberal democrat. It's so bad, but I ts great liberal propoganda.

lozen, O reilly actually will bash with some republicans on certain issues. all bill does is when he bashes liberals is just small concepts or theories. basically insignificant things

meh Maher is also a huge dick to his conservative guests a lot. Not as bad as O Reilly but still cringe worthy, particularly when it is in regards to subjects he has almost no knowledge about (namely economics, he admits it himself... right before making grandiose incorrect - imo - assumptions about economics.)

What about the word "communist"? Has Maher been advocating for collectivization, the abolition of private property in general or anything remotely similar to developing a classless society?

He likes Obama, and Obama is a Communist Socialist Fascist Nazi. So obviously Maher is a Communist. You should attend a local tea party rally and educate yourself.

heh, to be fair that's the one thing I wouldn't have said I kind of glossed over it... should have been more specific.

Disagree he may point out blatant errors. But that is the most.

If "for" is supposed to be "far", I have a spare calibrator you can borrow.

He has stated many many times how disappointed he is with this administration. No idea how anyone can think he is a stump for Obama.

Well, last night he did donate a cool milly to Obama, so.

He was very critical of him during his first two years though.

Just watched the Yahoo broadcast. I don't know why you'd have Bill Maher performing standup if you plan on bleeping out the bad words. Also, funny what they bleep and what they don't: f*** and s*** are insta-bleeps, but "hand job" is OK?

Yahoo says this is the first in a series of stand-up specials. If they're going to stick the bleeps, I probably won't even watch 'em.

This week's show was good. I like Neil Tyson. What was the name of the movie about Sarah Palin that that other guest made? I'd like to see that sooner than later!
