    So it's ok for you to call Ferret rude and put down his behavior, but when it comes time to criticize you and your cheerleaders behavior of rude, harrassing and abusive practices of ganging up against anyone who opposes your views, you refuse to comment on or apologize for your poor behavior.

    Do you know the meaning of the word hypocrite? ;)

    Some of the people he has on the show are annoying and grandstanding, but all in all the show is pretty entertaining

    "Entertaining" is difficult to argue, because what people find funny is very personal.

    Lots of people like fart jokes. Bill Maher is the political commentary version of the fart joke.

    I haven't seen Bill Maher in years but he sucked balls from what I can recall.

    If you wish to continue this line of harassment, fighting, and rudeness, please take it to PM.

    Continuing here is impolite to everyone who has no interest in your private war and is in violation of the rules of this forum (as I understand them).

    Please explain whether you:

    1. Misread my post
    -or-
    2. Are intentionally misrepresenting my post

    As anyone can plainly see from these two excerpts, no other explanation is possible.

    That about sums it up. I would only also add that he is to Politics what Dennis Miller was to MNF. They are both funny as hell when they stick to what they know however.

    I would not mind seeing Dennis Miller host Mahr's show one night though. I think that would be interesting ;)

    It's a pretty one sided show, but that is by design. The guy just is not funny. Again, if he stuck to comedy, he might have a chance. There has to be a reason he got kicked out of prime time, and off the networks... Hmmmm.

    He's definitely a catcher, not a pitcher.

    He's funny sometimes, but it pisses me off when he calls himself "more of a libertarian than a liberal". I don't think he has a clue what the difference is. He seems to believe strongly in gun control, welfare, and other "big government" policies. These are completely contrary to libertarian beliefs.

    I don't think he even knows what he believes in.

    He's not gay!

    He pulls some really hot girls...which is amazing considering he looks like a gnome.

    He might be "pulling" them, but I doubt he is "bangin'" them ;)

    Look at Larry King, he looks even worse.... Like a Possum, but seems to do ok in the laddies dept. Must be the... money?
