The other 3 guests were equally boring, as was the monologue.


Agreed. Cornel West is no doubt a bright guy, but he tries speaking like he's the ******* Prophet Muhammad.

The only amusing part of the episode was when Bill was asking Arianna Huffington questions about all her money.

The show is phenomenally better around election time, and always better with opposing views on the panel, which (minus this last episode) we've seen a lot of this season.

I like Cornell West but Bill tends to let him ramble on a bit too long. Norah O'Donnell was a complete and utter waste of space. Perry seems like a smart guy. The final New Rule was ******* hilarious. "And then you're into the stuff that German's like. Horrifying, slimy, things punctuated by women crying."

Why in God's name does he have Kevin Smith on the show tonight?

Kevin Smith needs to learn how to apply sunscreen. Good panel for the most part. Could have done without Tavis Smiley's feminist ranting though.

I don't understand the success of Tavis Smiley. Is he popular on NPR because he helps feed white liberal guilt? Juan Williams was 10X better and smarter than him.

Articulate black men on TV are hard to find.

The eccentric in the audience was the most amusing part of the show.

He's had another 9/11 truther outburst in the audience before. This guy was yelling for a long time. I can't believe security didn't get to him faster.

I did hear him say "get your hands off of me."

Anybody watch this week's episode? Great monologue (The Charlie Sheen bit), interview with TC Boyle was weird, mostly because he's a ******* weird guy, panel was pretty good, and the new rules were great, especially the last one which was something that I had been wondering about for a very long time.

Frankly, I have no clue what the **** he is talking about.

He's probably referring to depleted uranium shell casings, which continues to be an obsession for the truther set.
