I thought it was a decent episode. The nuclear guy was a bad speaker but the stuff he was discussing was really important.
I always enjoy Michael Steele because he's not doing stupid talking points and will laugh at how stupid his party acts at times. He will still defend stuff saying there are a lot of Republicans that don't get their voices heard.
"What does the $4000 buy you?"

I'm surprised Maher didn't respond to that with an STD joke. I guess he used up his quota with the crabs joke during new rules.
Did we have any Republicans on today?
Fucking shithead David frum
Did he say anything sufficiently crazy?

Yes on Healthcare and GMOs, but he had a great point on guns.
Maher hit the New Rule out of the fucking park. Goddamn. Best one yet.

I honestly FF through the monologues. They are Leno/Conan tier of bad.
Here I thought David Frum represented the Reasonable Wing of the Republican Party, but he was absolutely insane on this episode. His opposition to the ACA was nonsensical and his analysis that Obama is trying to distance himself from the law was laughable. His inability to give a straight answer on GMO labelling was telling, and his answer to medical marijuana was hypocritical given that he couldnt give a provide a valid reason why alcohol should be legal but not MJ (that was on the Overtime segment)
He was approaching Stephen Moore levels of bad in this episode. Thankfully Chris Hayes was there to talk some sense.

Really? I disagree completely with this. I think him laughing at his monologues kind of sell them a bit.
Yeah I agree with this but I realize why he keeps having these guys back because they know how to keep calm in a debate even if their points don't make sense. Bill could never have say Bill O'Reilly on the panel (having him for the studio interview or live via satellite is different) because it would get completely out of hand.
Was it this year or last year that he had that girl Kennedy on? I hope she never comes back.

Kennedy was on last year.
I like David Frum. He's been on the show many times (including a couple times already this year) and he normally can hold his end up of the argument well. But besides from the conversation about guns he was oppositionist on every topic in this episode, adding nothing of value to the conversation.
I remember when Kennedy was on. She was terrible, but the guest that was on with her (Republican Congressman Dana Rochbacher (sp?)) was a complete idiot who got showed up many times. I remember it well.

Tell me more and if anyone else from Cali-GAF can join in. I just am curious because while I know there are a lot of advantages to California, I like cold weather for at least a few months out of the year although I'd take about 45 degrees Fahrenheit year round if I could.
Currently I am in central NJ
Where does it get the coolest in California? Bay Area?
Thank you. Yeah I couldn't wait until he did new rules that episode.
Big Bear, probably.

Is California really bouncing back like Bill said?
"Bu-bu-but Asians and Indians moved up why can't everyone else!"
Its because they moved up at the expense of other people. The nation can't support 30 million more entrepreneurs.

Decent episode, but never reaching the highs of last week. I would love a long form interview with Billy Crystal, guy is awesome.
I do echo others comments about Monica Mehta being pretty useless. Bill had several digs at her during the episode. "Well I wish we would get ice-cream in the mail too".

Monica's analysis was very shallow. I mean, lamenting why they couldn't be bipartisan support for the health care law? She must not have been paying attention when the law was being formulated, when democrats were making concession after concession just to get the bill out of committee.

Next week Reihan Salam will be on. Eh... I have a feeling he'll be getting booed a lot.
That dude always seems to get agitated far too easily.

I really liked Matt Kibbe. He was so calm, cool, and collected that I hope he comes back. He was way better than Reihan Salam ever could have been. Kibbe is actually 50 years old I researched. Christ I thought he was 35.
Edit: Also the New Rule where he talked about wearing pants. I was in tears.

What happened to Salam?
There was. You can grab it off iTunes.

He may have canceled in the middle of the week or they may have canceled him. I would try tweeting Bill's staff (since I doubt he replies to many tweets himself) and see if they give you an answer. Matt Kibbe was much better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkWdP2d6FIY <--- Here he is with Chris Wallace. Now you may not agree with him but throw that out the window and pay attention to his demeanor. He doesn't get upset and frustrated like Salam. If it was Salam and Alan Grayson, it might not have been such a decent episode.
