Reply #1: Meh.

I went to school with Dexter. He's a pretty bright guy, and contrary to the way the poster is trying to play this, I didn't see him plying the bullshit the way Maher was. I like Bill Maher, I enjoy his show, but he doesn't hit it on the mark every time. Just as so many DUers will praise Chris Matthews when he says something we like, but blast him the very next day...Maher has his moments. I find Filkins to usually be on the mark, though. But I admit, maybe it's simply bias for one of my old classmates.
