The political satirist with the most edge on television today is Mr. Bill Maher who I call simply " Billy." He is the talent on the HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher." This show starts with a person in the news, who is interviewed by Billy. This person is usually a prominent political figure or a person who has recently been a news maker. Then the show has a panel of political pundits, (three) that have a mixture of political points of view from liberal to ultra conservative.( Billy is a leftist liberal but he doesn't bleed and he takes no prisoners.) The panel and Billy discuss and debate the political issues of the day. Following wide open and frank discussions by all involved, another guest is introduced. This person is usually someone who is there to promote something, but pays for the plug by laying out their political leanings (always liberal) on the issues being discussed on the show. To end the show Billy does what is calls "New Rules." During this segment Billy skewers anything, anyone, or any proposal or idea that he feels needs an attitude adjustment, and some advice on where to put it. The overall result is that you are politically informed, and you have some belly laughs along the way. If you are a leftist Democrat like me it will definitely scratch your political itch and then some.
Your boy,
