SOME DAYS MINOR FRUSTRATIONS ARE THE STRAW THAT BREAKS THE CAMEL'S BACK

When Bill Maher has two Republicans, one with a mouth that won't stop when others are talking, and Bill has three guests talking over one another so nothing can really be heard, it is a bad day.  I look forward to watching Bill Maher because he is free to say what he really thinks with no fear of losing his job.  However, tonight he had Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stones as a guest and allowed these two male idiots talk while they were on the panel and then talk over the guest, as well.  I suppose if Obama was granted a bad night, we might say that Bill Maher is entitled to one but that doesn't seem to truly fit this situation.

Normally Bill Maher has complete control over his panel but these two male lummoxes, one more that the other sitting between his fellow Republican and Goldie Taylor.  Sitting in the middle of the three person panel was Boris Epshteyn is a former McCain/Palin aide and a columnist for US News & World Report. Even on the heels of Mitt Romney's infamous 47% comments, Epshteyn correctly predicted that there was Romney comeback in the making.  The man epitomized the Romney campaign.  Talk over everything with lies and ignore all facts.The third panelist was John Fund is a conservative commentator and the author of Who's Counting? He recently told Newsmax that Obama’s strong performance in Tuesday’s presidential debate won’t affect the "basic momentum" of Romney’s surging popularity.  Goldie Taylor is the Managing Editor of the Goldie Taylor Project and a regular contributor to MSNBC. She appeared on the network this week to discuss Romney’s "binder full of women" comment from the debate.

As is inevitable according to Murphy's Laws, I had an out-of-country guest and said how great Bill Maher was.  She had never seen him.  Today's show was one to make my guest question my sanity for saying the show was a good one.  This one was definitely not good. The first guest was Gary Hirshberg is the Chairman of Stonyfield Farm, founder of the "Just Label It" campaign, and author of Label It Now: What You Need to Know About Genetically Engineered Foods. Last month, Foodconsumer.org profiled Hirshberg’s support of California Proposition 37. The ballot initiative would require the labeling of genetically engineered food and counts Bill Maher among its supporters..  He spoke well, articulately and was extremely informative.  Next came the fiasco of a panel who dominated the sound and made it impossible to hear anything through the voice overs.  By the time Matt Taibbi ( He is a Contributing Editor at Rolling Stone and author of Griftopia. Last week he picked apart the vice presidential debate in his Taibblog.)

So far the Republicans have managed to out yell, out lie, and bully people into believing them in a verbal blitz like the old shell game.  May the 'force' be with us and the election happen soon!.
