Today on Fox News Watch, the final piece of the show was devoted to honoring Major Andrew Olmsted, who was KIA in Iraq. He left a final post to be made on his behalf in the event of his death.
I do ask (not that I’m in a position to enforce this) that no one try to use my death to further their political purposes. I went to Iraq and did what I did for my reasons, not yours. My life isn’t a chit to be used to bludgeon people to silence on either side.
There was no commentary from the panel, nor was any necessary. May you rest in peace, Major. Godspeed.

Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone is one of Maher’s new “correspondents” for the 2008 campaign. Quite a ‘charming’ addition to the Real Time panel, right? Uh…not so much. Matt goes into a tirade about the surge, and Tony can’t help himself. “Absolutely goddamn right!”
My only remaining question is this: Why didn’t someone ask Cuban about his truther support?
I’m working on a transcript now… please check back later.
You can watch the Snow smackdown part of the panel here.

Last night on Real Time, Bill’s guests included Catherine Crier, Mark Cuban and Tony Snow. The first topic of discussion was the “evil” Diebold machines, and whether or not the polls were correct for Obama in New Hampshire. Usually conservative guests on Maher’s show demure more than we’d like, but not Tony Snow. Watch Tony take Cuban, Crier and Maher to task on this subject.

I will post a partial transcript later, but there’s more video to edit. Stay tuned for my next posts on the panel. Tony was in rare form tonight. If he can kick cancer’s ass, he can surely make quick work of Cuban, Crier, Maher and Matt Taibbi.
Watch them discuss voter fraud here.

Last night on Real Time, Maher came out of the gate swinging at Hillary and her campaign tears. Noel Sheppard from Newsbusters also covered this, and has a partial transcript here:
These are challenging times for the politically correct, I mean, don’t blame me for being sexist, because I read this in the New York Times that Hillary Clinton was going to lose New Hampshire, and then she cried and people voted for her especially the women. They wanted to see the robot cry. That’s what it was. It was like P.T. Barnum, “See the robot cry.” She broke the fourth wall. She cried, and then there was blood on the Son.
But I’ve heard of electing a president you want to have a beer with. But, electing a president you want to have a good cry with? I mean, it’s not a serious country. And I noticed that it was the exact right amount of crying. Did you see that? I mean, it wasn’t like a full tear, people would have been like, “Oh, come on, that’s glycerin! That’s bullshit!” It was just, it was like, if it was any more crying, it would have been like Howard Dean’s scream.
Most of you must also realize that all the tinpot dictators in the world saw Hillary’s tears, too. Don’t you understand that a president like this is what they desire most?
