A humorous Leno Jaywalking-like segment, with an all-politics twist, during Maher's 'Real Time' show, from 1/11/08.

Maher's approach managed to sneak-in information on candidates' positions while keeping the audience entertained by the nonsensical and woefully misinformed guy-on-the-street responses. With the state of media coverage of the campaigns, today, hell, I'd welcome more of these segments on the evening news. Or maybe Sam Seder doing more of the same for 23/6.

2. best caucusing from the 7 year old!

5. Seriously, she was more coherent than

any of the dipshits from Iowa or New Hampshire I have heard interviewed. I have yet to hear one interview with a resident of IA or NH who actually demonstrated even a 7-year-old's level of understanding of how this country operates and what is going on in the world.

7. or SC or FL or CA or TX or NY or MI or OH or...

There is no shortage of dipshits in America.

And they vote.

[Lorien]

3. "it's not Republicans fault, it's Bush's fault"!

Oy. :banghead:

[MindMatter]

4. Deleted -- on wrong thread

[girl gone mad]

6. Haven't we predicted that outcome for years?

It's what you get when you try to be Republican Lite instead of a true opposition party. We're saddled with Bush's mistakes nearly as much as he is.

10. Well, I'd say it's mostly owing to the Democrats failure to fully link ...

... the Republican rubber stamping of Bush's agenda, from 2000-2006, to all the failures and corruption. Too much emphasis has been placed on blaming Bush, and not enough on calling out all those who are his enablers.

8. DIVIDE DEMOCRATS DIVIDE

ITS WORKING...
---- OUR ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE PARTY OF DEMOCRATS INTO SPITEFUL HATE-FILLED PEOPLE IS WORKING...

---- WE WILL AGAIN BE ABLE TO CLAIM...

THE REPUBLICANS UNITE FOR THE ELECTION... AND DIVIDE THE SPOILS
THE DEMOCRATS DIVIDE FOR THE ELECTION... AND DIVIDE NOTHING

REMEMBER MY REPUBLICAN BROTHERS... DUE TO THE EXPECTED HIGH TURNOUT... IN 2008

THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE VOTING ON NOVEMBER 4
WE REPUBLICANS WILL BE VOTING ON NOVEMBER 5

9. That's kind of the point of a primary
