Since I don't yet have video of the part of the show where I debated serious issues with Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo and Joshua Green, here is the part that is available. It was a lot funnier. Bill and the explosively-popular Jane Lynch did a dramatic reading of Anthony Weiner's sex chat with Vegas blackjack dealer Jill Weiss. If you have kids, don't watch it with them nearby. If you're at work, wait till later. If you have taste and judgement, perhaps you'll skip it altogether. But it is hilarious. If you want...

Tonight's Real Time with Bill Maher, Friday, June 10 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live Et/tape-delayed Pt), exclusively on HBO, sees guests Janeane Garofalo, journalist Joshua Green and journalist Sharon Waxman. The Wrap's Waxman recently reported on the odd move to ban male circumcision in Santa Monica, where anti-semitic ephemera and a villain named "Monster Mohel," were used to promote the proposed ballot measure. Former Cal. Rep. Jane Harman and actress Jane Lynch are also interview guests. Maher was the creator and host of .Politically Incorrect,. which was produced by HBO Downtown Productions and debuted on Comedy Central in 1993. The series moved to ABC in 1997 and ran through 2002.

On the heels of some back-and-forth between top Gop Young Gun Eric Cantor and Nazi-Reenacting Congressional Candidate Rich Iott, Hardball's Chris Matthews interviewed the man who broke the story, The Atlantic's Joshua Green. The interview took a hilarious turn, however, when Matthews asked Green "Is this some kind of homoerotic thing they do, they put on these uniforms and dance around? What do they actually do?" Green starts to answer, and Matthews asks, more insistently, "What do they do?"...

Barely two days after Bill Maher and The Atlantic's Joshua Green outed him as a Nazi re-enactor, Congressional candidate Rich Iott (R-Ohio 9) is apparently unfit to re-enact a bad 80s movie. Iott has been dropped from the Gop's 'Young Guns' website, and head Young Gun Eric Cantor has repudiated him. While Iott's participation in the group was undeniably bad politics, does he really deserve to be thrown under dem bus?...

Geithner and Summers./From Wikipedia. The Atlantic’s Joshua Green is speculating that Larry Summers, director of the National Economic Council, is not long for this presidential administration. “I think Summers is going to leave sooner rather than later, possibly before the mid-term elections, and if not then, soon afterward,” he writes. Green cites Summers’s bitterness at not having been named secretary of the Treasury or chairman of the Fed as irreparable blows to his “fragile ego.” Reportedly, “Summers demanded a series of perks as compensation, including cabinet status, golf dates with the president, and a personal car and driver. In the ‘No Drama’ Obama administration, such behavior stands out.” So, what can we expect in what may be the winter of Summers’s career? As Green notes, gunning for the presidency of a major university is out. He could be a Slate columnist, though! Slate is notoriously hospitable to controversial wonky politicos.
