Maher -- Daily Kos a Vast Circle-Jerk of Pomposity

Yes, that's right, Bill Maher called us that just half an hour ago, after quoting a poster who said he or she would "vote for Hillary and then leave the country."  This was in the context of Maher's continuing theme that no one has the right to tell Hillary to quit.

Aside from that, it was a pretty good show, with three liberals and cute, but air-headed Amy Holmes (Is Maher sleeping with her?).

Actually, by the end of the show, "conservative" Holmes had come out against all corporate welfare, and for financial regulation.  Not a bad transformation in 20 minutes.

Esai Morales, Robert Reich and Barbara Lee were excellent.  Morales (the Latino George Clooney?) kept bringing up the "transfer of wealth" upward through the "wars" on terror, drugs, etc. and Reich picked up on that.

Esai did go a little off the deep end by charging that the Feds actually introduced crack cocaine here (and I think he knew it).

But they hit what needs to be pounded into the consciousness of every American not in the top 2% -- They have been stealing you blind for 30 years -- through taxes, wars, off-shore shenanigans, etc.
