Tonight’s “Real Time” was fairly boring, even the segment with Michael Moore. He’s becoming so irrelevent, he’s not even worth talking about. But anyway, P.J. O’Rourke and Ben Affleck were THE panel members tonight, with Bill explaining it was the last show of the season and they ran out of money for a third guest. Ha Ha…hummmm… Guess they ran out of money for joke writers, too.

Anyway, the most interesting part of the show came when the discussion turned to the latest successfully-passed Iraq Funding Bill, for which the Democrats had to finally remove the withdrawal timeline before the President would sign it. And of course, that doesn’t sit well with the “HEY, WE ELECTED YOU, YOU BETTER DO WHAT WE SAY!” defeatocrats like Affleck and the Kos Kids, so Affleck went off on his own “I want my lunch money back!” tirade, calling the dems pussies and saying they were weak.

Here’s a partial transcript, courtesy of Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters:

BILL MAHER, HOST: Now, what did you think of the Democrats, you know, caving in on this Iraq spending bill? Yah, I mean…

BEN AFFLECK, ACTOR/ACTIVIST: These fucking people. You know what it is? Democrats, this is the fucking problem with them.

MAHER: Let it out, Ben. Let it out.

AFFLECK: I’m going to do it right now, because, you know what’s funny that you’re not going to give away? The Democrats live in fear of basically, you know, being called cowards. Of looking soft on military. Of looking like pussies, basically. We’re afraid that somebody’s going to call us a pussy. That somebody’s going to criticize us. And these people got elected basically on opposing the war. They got sent to Washington to oppose the war. They went there to make a vote on opposing the war. And then, when they got sent back the bill to, you know, and they were told, “Look, you know, the president’s not going to, you know, you have to put these, uh, you know, timelines in there, you know, you’re either going to vote for or against this measure that says, you have to, if you want this money, you have to give us timelines to get out of Iraq. Are you going to be for this or against it?”

They were afraid that if they basically sent it back to the President and said, “No, we need the timelines.” And they left, for Memorial Day vacation. And when they left, the President would criticize them when they went on vacation for not supporting the troops. In other words…while they were on vacation, they were afraid of being criticized. So rather, out of a fear of being criticized, they sacrificed their core political beliefs. And they wonder why people call them fucking weak.

Heh. Don’t ya just love it when the politicians reveal their true colors to their “base?” Yes, I know that works both ways, but a pussy dem dish is best served cold. And Affleck was “chillin’.”
