Richard Belzer is struck dead by God.

1. I wish the rest of that show was as intelligent.

Last nights show was one of the worst I've ever seen.

2. Does he still do "new rules?" I have not seen it posted.

That is usually entertaining.

3. He does not do "New Rules"

Because of the Writer's Strike.

5. Did you like last week's show?

6. I loved it. One of the best.

Honestly, I think Merle Haggard not showing up for his interview really threw off Bill's timing. When he finally had to interrupt the discussion panel because someone had thrown Haggard in the shower (think Martin Sheen at the beginning of Apocalypse Now for the visual I'm getting), it really broke the momentum, not that there was a lot. Herbie Hancock really had nothing to say, and why was he there anyway? He was offending about the religious comments, and even though that was about the only time he had anything to say, he still didn't say much that was meaningful. Martha Raditz (the blonde) was just full of it, using all the Republican code words, but otherwise adding little. The CNN reporter struck me as extremely beautiful, but it was clear she had a conservative bent even before she admitted to be a "closet conservative.' Gosh...can you imagine? An admitted conservative hosting a CNN program? Who could have guessed. And she's just one of the reasons I absolutely never watch that evil nasty liberal CNN.

Last weeks show, though...great panel, interesting discussion, good material all around (for the most part).

The writers don't write the panel discussion, which I assume is largely the reason Maher managed to get back on the air without them. And the panel this week was full of vacuous fishes out political water, while Merle Haggard's incoherent drunken doped up rambling was so painful it's amazing he was allowed on at all.
