1. Lovely -- thank you -- we need much more Alan Grayson ... and much less O'Rourke!!!

what a jerk O'Rourke is -- !!

[Mojambo]

2. He kicked that smarmy prick O'Rourke right on his ass. n/t

17. +1

8. That's even better. I love the way he let them make fools of themselves

trying to be funny, 'were do they go to the bathroom'?? That's funny? Not even among grade school students. He stayed quiet like a cat, and when they had completely bombed with the audience, he pounced on them with actual, serious, factual imformation and they were totally exposed as the irrelevant, morons they are.

He can be my spokesperson any time! The man is in possession of a rare commodity in the political world and the MSM, today. He has a BRAIN! :applause:

[russspeakeasy]

24. Yes, he has a brain.....and he uses it... Go Grayson.

He proves that not all of us in Florida are right wing tea baggers..

[AsahinaKimi]

4. Alan Grayson rocks..

Kick and Rec'ed

[sabrina 1]

5. Fantastic take down of a Republican shill who is not even funny and

hasn't been for a long time. He should have known better than to try to take on Alan Grayson and would have had he ever watched him on the floor of Congress taking out his Republican heroes.

Grayson himself is a perfect example of what the Wall St occupiers are protesting. Huge amounts of corporate money were poured into the campaign to get him out of Congress because he was a threat to the corrupt Wall St. criminals. He was specifically targeted and more money was spent to remove him personally, than any other campaign.

Without that money, Grayson would still be in Congress. The people lost again because of the corporate money that has poisoned our electoral system.

The audience loved him and O'Rourke looked like an idiot who just lost a major fight and all Grayson had to do was tell the truth.

:applause:

[Enthusiast]

39. Excellent points, as always.

[truedelphi]

52. Bill Maher didn't look very good either.

I felt like he and O'Rourke should have gotten a room, and once there, without the encumbrance of an audience, they could have merrily had porn, or hookers for that matter.

It seemed almost like it was a big hassle for Bill to think about having the show on - given that his only "progressive" issue at this point is pot smoking, not something Occupy Wall Street has made their front issue.






Happy Birthday, John.

[Warpy]

6. I find it interesting that all the smarmy little worm O'Rourke could do

was try to ridicule with cliches that went out of fashion three decades ago. He couldn't manage to answer a single point.

And that, my friends, is why Republicans are finally going to go out of power. There is no "there" there and hasn't been for a very long time and a hell of a lot of people are waking up to that fact.

[calimary]

11. Obviously he was thrown over by a beautiful flower child who preferred attending an anti-war rally

than going on a date with him, and he's nursed a grudge ever since.

[spooky3]

16. it's the classic "if the facts aren't on your side...use ad hominem attacks" strategy.

It's not poor widdle PJ's fault that all he could come up with were *lame* ad hominem attacks.

[brewens]

7. "Get the man a bongo drum". Jeez! O'Rourk is a total ass.

Maybe he was referring to Palin's poetry and I just don't get it?

Sucha predictable move for them to play the "filthy hippie" angle. Too bad I'm so far away from any of the big Occupations. I tend to look like a redneck.

[sabrina 1]

10. He was trying to do the job he was sent to do. Use 'hippy' as often

as you can, point out that they use bongo drums, that should get a laugh, except it didn't. He has the memo and it's old and jaded and tired and that's why no one laughed at his lame attempts to diminish the movement they are clearly scared to death of. I never realized though, how stupid he was before. I knew he was jerk, but I gave him far too much credit for having some intelligence.

Grayson wiped the floor with them and then stepped over them to acknowledge the standing ovation he received. His expression was priceless, and so was his smile at the end. It was truly a wonderful thing to watch. We need hundreds of him.

[Lorien]

15. +1 nt.

[Lorien]

14. P.J. thinks that it's still the America of 1970. nt

[Enthusiast]

40. Total

[chervilant]

9. Here's hoping

P. J. (Petty Jerk?) NEVER gets invited back on Bill Maher's show.

[izquierdista]

12. He'll be back

If Bill did a show with his 'special' friends, P.J., Ann Coulter, Jack Kingston, David Frum, etc., in front of an audience of poo-flinging monkeys, it would be the monkeys wanting to hit the showers.

[thelordofhell]

28. That pussy Bill Maher will probably never have Alan on again

Since Alan basically bitch slapped Bill's mentor P.J. in the chops when he was talkin' out of his republican ass.

[Lorien]

13. Is it any wonder that the GOP spent more on unseating Grayson than they did

on any other race during the 2010 elections? He calls them out, won't back down and makes WAAAAYYYY too much sense!

[givemebackmycountry]

45. And the Repuke that replaced Grayson? Daniel Webster?

He ain't done a fucking thing since he got elected.
NOTHING.
I don't ever see him on the news, don't ever read about him in the papers, all he does is speak at Christo-Conservative functions down here and collect money.

Grayson was right: Taliban Dan.
Fuck, what a waste of an office.

I want Grayson back.

[pam4water]

18. PJ O'Rourke Backed off his "Give War a Chance" Stance for a while on Wait Wait Don't Tell me. He's

back to being a dick again.

[Charronxyz]

19. Too bad nobody pointed out to O'Rourke...

Too bad nobody pointed out to O'Rourke that Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz came to wall street to meet and give his support to the protesters when O'Rourke asserted they where clueless regarding economic matters...

[vanbean]

20. Folks, that is our new FDR.

[Bloke 32]

21. Game. Set. Match.

I believe 'pwning' is the American term for what Mr Grayson did to Mr O'Rourke. Recommended!

[Sancho]

22. Grayson and Warren should be the Democratic ticket!

These people get it!! Why we have Rick Scott instead of Grayson in Florida is beyond me.....

:dem:

[seafan]

29. In absolute agreement, Sancho.

It's time for a brand new start for the people's business.

[TalkingDog]

30. I would crawl over broken glass to vote for that ticket.

Seriously.

[Enthusiast]

41. The same reason Ohio has Kasich and Wisconsin

has Walker -overwhelming corporate money.

[vroomvroom]

23. Grayson 2012!!!

[Mosaic]

25. Thank God for Hippies

But this about nearly everyone, 99% of us are not hippies, but they are good role models.

Grayson proves he is a leader and that POS repugnant needs to go hide under a rock and leave us alone.

[Cali_Democrat]

26. Awesome!

[ooglymoogly]

27. Just imagine for a moment if Grayson had been president

the last two years.

With the OWS, new options may be opening up for liberals and real Dems and we better get ready to take advantage of that opportunity. I'm talking about a credible write in in the primary.

Funny too, when he said that the Gov. of NJ was to big to fail.

Like Hank W., O'Rourke is the idiot town drunk and is embarrassing to anyone with a brain. With the exception of Grayson, the rest of the panel was not much better.

[donheld]

31. Alan can be my spokesperson anytime!

He get's it.

[Ned_Devine]

32. Is that the PJ O'Rourke that's...

...on "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" a lot?

[Ned_Devine]

33. Just saw the long version...

...this PJ O"Rourke is a human turd and I was very unimpressed by Maher

[Iwillnevergiveup]

34. Damn!

A tossup between the RepubliCON author and O'Rourke for embarrassing idiocy.
A winner for Alan Grayson who never takes any prisoners - great hatchet job.

[Quantess]

54. I am so disappointed in Bill Maher in this show.

What a letdown. Maybe PJ O Rourke gave him coke before the show.
