Real Time With Bill Maher: Overtime - Episode #227 (HBO)

[Whateverworksism]

Alan Grayson made the most sense on that panel even though he almost didn't talk.

[ALOSTAMERICAN]

Is it just me, and the weed, but do Bill Maher and P.J. Old Wrinkles look alike? I mean if one wasn't union and the other wasn't confederate you would think they were related somehow. You know what, I'm fucked up, fogettaboudit.

[imcrazy85]

bill u are kinda stupid lol

[adamJOHNNYUTAH]

if herman wasn't black would bill use the "getting in his grill line? " thought that was funny

[OverlordofCanada]

PJ seems ok to me, better than some of the people he has on.

[baronisio]

is pj retarded? seriously, does he have any mental desease?

[ASexyChef]

@baronisio Why cause he talks funny, he actual says intellectually correct things but God Forbid a person having some type of speech impediment in this day and age, shit bags like Rick Perry can talk real pretty yet can list three fucking things and are mentally retarded. But keep ripping on a poor guy with a speech impediment he can't seem to help! CAuse he must be stupid cause of a disability, lets ignore his actual statements which are smart! Sorry for all the kids who have them fuck you!

[sirunlalala]

Its not the kids its the teachers and parents

[ASexyChef]

@sirunlalala It is the fucking Kids, teachers can not force kids to learn you dipshit! The issue are kids, spoiled entitled lazy fucking worthless kids are the issues, and lazy fucking parents who will not get involved in their kids life, help them with homework, or is it just some crazy reason why immigrants who are involved parents in studies have kids who do very well in public schools go to college and get great jobs, in huge % huh its just dumb luck, its not the kids and parents than?!?!

[ASexyChef]

@sirunlalala Sorry, its the Parents YES, who raise their kids to not do well in school, stop fucking blaming teachers because parents most kids are spoiled and entitled the others are the other extreme, and neglected and ignored, so you have stupid angry, kids who do not take education seriously and the teachers can not do a damn thing with that, wake up, I and my four siblings had public school education and all of us went to college and my parents were involved and grades were huge!

[Savorist]

Jonathan Franzen is nervous. 

[PTKilowatt]

PJ should stick to travel books, leave the big important thoughts to people who have done actual research into it. Hey there's an idea for a new book, PJ goes back to school or tries to get a job rather than get an exorbitant amount of money from that libertarian think tank...

[ASexyChef]

@PTKilowatt Hey I have fucking researched the issue and it is the parents, or do you ignore the figures of all the immigrants families who are known to be very involved parents who kids do very well with just public school education, or people who study the issue and find out parents who will spend a few hours helping their kids with homework a week increase not only high-school grades but increase the odds of them finishing college. No matter who the teachers are dumb fuck!

[ASexyChef]

@PTKilowatt The pathetic thing is parents who are either too fucking lazy, or worthless to really get involved with their kids education, is the ISSUE and maybe you are one of those worthless fucking parents so his words offends your lazy ass if you are, but too many parents expect the schools to not educate but raise their kids and its not the teachers fucking job to do that.. Wake up Americans Parents are the ISSUES WITH IT ALL! Gangs, Education, etc are the parents fault raise better kids!

[PTKilowatt]

@ASexyChef Since when did I throw parents under the bus? And that's not the issue, there are students with degrees coming out of college to a workplace that was imploded through no fault of their own and can't find a job because of that, not because of bad teaching or bad parenting.

PJ seems to be oblivious to this fact or willfully ignoring it, both cardinal sins of Journalism, if he still claims to be a journalist anyway.

[zammmerjammer]

@ASexyChef Ok, but there is a significant number of children whose parents are too over-worked and poor to spend extra time with their kids. There are parents who suck but there are parents who just worked 2 back-to-back shifts at TGIFridays and collapse into bed the moment they get home.

[222yeahyeahyeah]

Am the only who doesn't mind P.J.? :/

[semiserioussam]

Who the fuck is PJ and why is he on the show?

[dminrunyon]

PJ Oroarke ought to know better than to show up on tv ripped. He embarrassed himself and Grayson ripped him a third asshole. Grayson is my guy. Wish he was in California instead of redneck orlando

[papersplease]

Since when did Webster's Dad become President of the AFL-CIO?

[melo15813]

I hate when he has these old unfunny comedians on.

[gibsonkal]

PJ O'Rourke is such a fucking assclown.

[BloggerMusicMan]

Nice to see Jonathan Franzen on this panel.

[grands1am]

Alan Grayson may not be as fat as Chris Christie but he is still too fat to be trusted

[Danmacf]

P.J. O'Rourke is to funny what Tom Cruise is to straight. He's not

[AL13NM]

I would vote Grayson for pres with more enthusiasm than any candidate that has ever ran before.

[stefers08]

@eggiex1,

And? Oh wow, another person who is biased and preaches from an established ideological background. At least he's not a lying politician. I've never heard either Cenk or Maher claim to be unbiased and that's why I respect them unlike O'Reilly.

[MichaelPAUSA]

Grayson needs to move to the NE. Florida is 1/2 old demented folks & 1/2 redkneck (aka dumb as stumps). He's do fine up here & folks would appreciate his personality more.

[sparkyj99]

~~> Go Grayson... Can't wait to vote for ya... BTW, Love tha tie...

[sparkyj99]

~~> "I can't wait till you say that about Americans"... Great Come Back...

[createallow3126]

P. J. O'rourke can burst in flames for all I care. Useless goofy ass.

[Twostones00]

P J is so annoying.

[ASexyChef]

@Twostones00 Fuck you he is dead right, its fucking bullshit to use teachers as the escape goat for the issues ooo its not bankers getting 500 million in bonuses for stealing peoples retirement with fraudulent home investments which were sold for 10 times the rate you would of bought them on the inflated market for! O fuck it can't be them that ruined the economy its the teachers and he is dead right the issue is people kids being lazy entitled shit bags with parents who raised them that way!

[Clifton100]

that fat nasty bitch keeps staring at the person talking. its annoying especially when she's a fat bitch.

[mittcleaver]

Hey PJ, STFU!!! at least let other people finish their sentences!

[Strutinan]

Maher asked Grason, "Do you think you could win state-wide election in Florida?"

FUCK that! I am voting "Representative Alan Grayson of Florida" as my write-in candidate for PRESIDENT!

[eggiex1]

Can somebody explain to me why so many people want Cenk in Bill's show? I've seen his show before, and frankly I am not impressed. As a "reporter" he's pretty much as biased as O'Reilly or Olbermann. He will present a story and then go on a little rant. That's not news, any more than O'Reilly is news. On his rants, he just goes off with usual left-wing rhetoric. I rarely hear an original idea coming from him. He just tries to be as lefty as possible. Even his cast sometimes disagrees with him.

[anywayokay]

whatever happened to "politically incorrect?"

[420gma]

@anywayokay It got bumbed because off mahrs anti iraq war comments.

[strylowskia90]

@420gma It wasn't anti-Iraq war comments, it was a 9-11 joke that got him booted from ABC.

[420gma]

@420gma My bad!

[ymmcuba]

The problem are the principles and standards in which you base your society, when you have Jersey Shore on national TV and you make teen heroes out of drug addicts, alcoholics, poorly educated and rude people then you can expect millions of kids will follow that pattern, also economical struggle sometimes jeopardy the attention parents give to their families and also the attention teachers give to their students, is a chain reaction

[AudioForAnarchists]

CENK

[theconservativelib]

PJ's a jackass.

[luv4knowledge]

The problem is overcrowding AND lack of motivation on the part of kids to learn; people don't want to learn for the sake of learning they just want to learn for the sake of making a profit. As Einstein said, Imagination if more important than knowledge!

[SkuldChan42]

PJ seems a bit wasted.

[isaacBrockofthe41]

Bill here our cries, let Cenk on your board.

[dfg93353]

Hey...  Would ya bring Cenk on already!!

[dverkerk]

im a lib but if ron paul wins the republican primaries im going republican

[Superfresh602]

@dverkerk go republican now to guarentee ron paul wins then vote for him in the general election

[Sendu108]

Cenk needs to get on this show!!

[JoeKerr420]

Alan Grayson for president!

[zammmerjammer]

Agh. Everytime I see PJ O'Rourke on TV it's like he's trying his hardest to never say anything even remotely funny or relevant.

[1019drummer]

If Cenk is all that he should have his own HBO program,no? I like Cenk,I'm just saying.

[kenasco]

Bring Cenk Uygur on the show. That would be a hell of an episode.

[Cacacos]

It amuses me the fact that the very same Country that sent men to the Moon STILL have 'questions' about the FACT of Evolution...

Again: Evolution, same as Gravity, hold a 'technical' name which is Theory. But is, in practical terms, same as Gravity, a FACT.

[exbronco1980]

that's bullshit, a governor saying "none of your business" about evolution. it's ok for a private citizen to do that, it's not ok for a governor to.

[WolfStatic]

Oh for fuck's sake... enough is enough.... Fuck PJ O'Rourke and don't bring him back on the show! He's never been funny or had anything valuable to contribute to any discussion! Fuck him!

[steviesbackbitch]

O'Rourke is right. There are crappy teachers but the quality of a school has a lot to do with the students and their parents. Also school is basically babysitting/hangout center for older kids, rather than a learning place. People can't expect to learn much in school. They have to learn themselves. Some of these teachers barely know the subjects they're supposed to be teaching. Some of them only became teachers cause they couldn't do anything else.

[TheMac6010]

@steviesbackbitch and again o'rourke is not right too!!! i been in poor neighborhoods and urban schools, which is what alot of reps say are bad bad bad right until u meat the actual teachers... and to say what ya just said is a bit ignorant at the same time, go to ur local high school or elementary schools hang around enough for some1 to see ya hmmm not a good idea.. again bad thinking, and with regards to learning, this is guess what the fault again of the republicans....

[TheMac6010]

@steviesbackbitch and also to say its the fault of the teachers is also a bit crap, for one reason its the textbooks.... and I have had bad teachers myself but when i was a kid i would teach them too alil bit saying research research...... and at the same time gain it first but i do know this tho from teachers ive talked to the Govs way of at least currently being sure they are good enough, is very bad in making sure anything is done and guess what again blame the republicans, ....

[TheMac6010]

@steviesbackbitch is cause of lack of "Regulation"

[JoeKerr420]

Pj is a moron. Glad Grayson put him in his place.

[mofojim1]

GET CENK UYGUR OF "THE YOUNG TURKS" ON THE PANEL!!

[3122tan]

@greedlusthate try adding his last name 'uygur' to the search or in case I spelt it wrong search for 'tyt cenk' or 'the young turks

Cenk'

FYI it's pronounced 'Jenk Yoo-Gah' :)

[skeech15]

We live in a country where politicians, lobbyists, CEOs and news pundits are the experts and know everything about everything...meanwhile teachers, scientists and professors are moneygrubbing liars who will do anything to get their way..

. has it always been like this or is this a new thing.

[chacinju2]

Fucking invite Cenk already Bill

[greedlusthate]

Who the fuck is Cenk? I Googled the name, and it was a cute, twinky Russian boy. While it was pleasant, I still want to know who people are talking about.

[Stingerbillion]

@greedlusthate Check out "The Young Turks". He's also on "Current Tv".

[IROT1334]

Fuck Cenk!

[ryanhsu20yahoocom]

WE WANT CENK WE WANT CENK WE WANT CENK

[javed86]

FAT FATTY!

[psistarpsi80]

LoL. Have people always called him that? I always call him that and I thought I made it up :(. Perhaps I just stole it from somebody.

[CPUGaming]

CENK!! NOW!

[BigMrFirebird]

Get Cenk on!

[Shrimp4074]

Come on, have Cenk on the show already!

[Mahoivlich]

This was one awesome show.

[Saufm]

Any chance we get to watch Real Time from Europe?

[metallicafannick]

@Saufm if ya get hbo

[elfred1980]

@Saufm you get hbo in Europe?

[Saufm]

@elfred1980 No

[Garrett2142]

PJ O'Rourke is a fuck wit

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@Garrett2142 Not really, he had a lot of good points, maybe too subtle for such wits like you,

[defect530]

i bet the weed in the joint he smoked was as green as his tie. what a goof.

[ManicExpression1980]

PJ O'Rourke sucks the air out of the room every time he's on Real Time. He's a babbling moron. He thinks he's funny, he's not. I don't care that he's conservative, he's rude and doesn't make sense when he speaks.

[topher01]

@ManicExpression1980 I couldn't agree more.

[coopmuch56]

Cenk.

[cradle177]

Please Bill.. Never bring back PJ, he was really annoying.

[alphacause]

The last thing politicians want is greater GENIUNE attention given to education. The more educated a population is, the more likely they are to see through the BS that is the average politician's bread and butter. The more erudite a population is, the more likely they are to see that there is very little difference between your average Democrat or Republican candidate, and that both are bought by corporate interests, and such a widespread realization would ruin the lives of politicians.

[NorseMariner7]

I wonder how long before people start crying for Cenk in the comments section

[soojb7799]

@NorseMariner7 Screw Cenk. Bill should have Alyona Minkovski (The Alyona Show on RT) on Real Time. She's bright and articulate. She also hosts an online news program similar to TYT.

[dramatish]

@soojb7799 dumb idiot alyona minkovski is a friend of the young turks ..dumb idiot .ana is on alyonas show all the time

[12quillemall5321]

Do you need to read if you're poor? Education will soon become a priviledge of the rich who can afford to send their children to private school. Just like in third world nations.

Thank the conservatives who feel public education is a waste of money and time for you little mc laborers.

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@12quillemall5321 oh puhleez! Some of these so called students are monsters, then you meet their parents, and you understand why.

[1313elsanto]

@12quillemall5321 I beg to differ, I was born, raised and educated in a third world country (Venezuela) and got a good college education in a public school for about 300 dollars a year (1500 total for my 5 year Bachelors in physics). In fact most countries in South America (which you probably would consider third world) have pretty good access to free public education for all, from K to college, and in fact, people fight to keep it that way, and make education more accessible to all (Chile).

[12quillemall5321]

@1313elsanto I beg to differ. Venezuela's is far from being third world. It's closer to being another socialist country. My parents are from a third world country called Honduras, where public education ends at the 6th grade. You have to pay for an education that goes beyond basic arithmetic. At least they learn two trades, sewing or farming.

Here in America, we are basically babysitting because a child with a physic education is just as likely to find a job, as one no education.

[europa]

@12quillemall5321

they want to dismantle the department of education and a unilateral form of education, not education its self. In modern times schools should be cheaper and more accessible, because govt gets involved prices go up and quality goes down, every time its a fundamental rule of economics, look at the DMV and thats what govt deliverers

playing a right left paradigm is the problem with our society

[mowriter]

@12quillemall5321 read up on "Liberal Arts" on Wikipedia. The first meaning was the stuff FREEDMEN (liberated) got to study, how the world works, holistically, versus the slaves who were expected to get a skill and be narrowly confined to that job "stovepipe". How much of education today is all about "job training"? I see violations of correct debating almost daily, because I got a Liberal Arts backdrop while the Fox News army did not.

[TheMac6010]

@12quillemall5321 i can also disagree with ya comment alil cause at the same time until ur able to think, and read books and also keep things in context, hey Im poor, i did and still do, all what i just said.. Rich tho i dont at all seem to keep things in context and when they do they are well ya know.... I'm not to sure why ya just said this tho but consider that....

[dramatish]

first...just saying
