Rachel Maddow & Bill Maher Discuss GOP Miniverse

The stars of The Rachel Maddow Show and Real Time with Bill Maher converged on Maher's show last week, and on Tuesday, Maddow returned the favor. Now, given that I'm a big fan of both, posting the video was a no brainer. But considering that they're talking about a topic near and dear to my heart--the conservative alternate reality machine--I absolutely couldn't resist.

The machine was most effective in the early days after 9/11, and Karl Rove had that thing running 'round the clock for a good many years. At first, it could fool anyone. As the years went by, fewer and fewer were fooled. They were pretty much down to the hard-boiled conservative base there for a while. But somebody must've oiled the machine and changed out a few parts, because lots of people are believing outright falsehoods about the health care reform proposals. But watch the video, Rachel and Bill do a good enough job explaining. . .

  1. These two could explain how to tie their shoes. Maher and Olberman's nephew, are nothing without their teleprompters, and writers. That is why they get nut jobs on their show and portray them as speaking for conservatives. Case in point...go back in the archives and get Maher's appearance on Hannity....BM could not answer a single question asked of him...he looked plain stupid. When he is without his teleprompter and writers he is nothing. An empty suit.

  2. Sean Hannity made Bill Maher look stupid? I'd love to see evidence of that, as it would be quite a role reversal. BTW, Rachel Maddow has long been known as one of the most prepared and studious of the punditry. I don't think it's fair to say that it's all "her writers."
