I just started watching last night's Real Time with Bill Maher.

I just have to say one thing: Andrew Britbart is such a fucking asshole! At least Laurel Flanders isn't letting him spew his crap. Its not even that the guy is dead wrong, which he is, its the way he says it. He's rude, obnoxious, and should really shut the hell up. Hell, the GOP strategist isn't nearly as bad.

2. The GOP strategist was Mark McKinnon... He is known to be more

moderate---at least for a RETHUG... Breitbart is an absolute asshole...Good on Laura (and I understand that director, John Waters really zinged him at the end0...

4. Yes, Waters asked Breitbart

whether, as a Teabagger, he was a bottom or a top.

Breitbart was speechless, recognizing full well that his goat had been gotten.

5. There's justice in the fact that they named themselves the tea party so that we

could dub them teabaggers. I never knew it was a sexual term; I only thought of grimy used teabags in relation to grimy, used-up-&-discarded ideas that belong in the distant past. Sorry, CBS, but the term is here to stay.

The look on Breitbart's face was priceless when Waters asked him if he was a top or bottom bagger.

6. The baggers came up with that term themselves.

And, as usual, are trying to erase/eradicate history.

7. THEY called themselves "teabaggers" first, and hung teabags from their

hats. Then after they found out what the term referrd to, they got all upset whenever anyone used it.

[Spinny Liberal]

9. Exactly

Which why I said, "really?" when they used it? They obviously didn't know what it meant, which is sad and gross. I still won't use the term and call them Tea Partiers.

[Atman]

11. No, they originally named themselves "Tea Baggers."

It wasn't until they learned the sexual connotation that they switched to Tea Party.

Remember, they thought it was cute...they'd show up at rallies with tea bags pinned to their hats and coats. They thought the tea bag would be a modern-day symbol for revolution, since tea bags didn't exist in Colonial times. As usual, they were wrong. And stupid.

8. Wasn't he the one who told McCain he wouldn't work for him if Obama got the nomination?

I've always like McKinnon. He reminds me of the kind of republican my father was. Honest, votes for the person, not the party. (Reagan drove my Dad from the GOP. I've always calling my dad a different kind of Reagan Democrat...you prolly have to be old to get that.)

[hlthe2b]

10. Yes... I believe I recall that too

[cameozalaznick]

12. I really couldn't believe the nerve of Breitbart...

Calling the current town hall protests "AstroTurf." What a hypocrite.

[white_wolf]

13. I liked Laura's response to that:

"Well he would know."
