Real Time   [Jonah Goldberg]

Kathryn - As you know, I basically agree with you.  I thought Maher's comments about  Limbaugh were grotesque. I regret not piping up about it, but this was supposed to be a segment solely with PJ O'Rourke and by that point in the show I'd reconciled myself to simply keeping a cool head (my wife is constantly telling me not to lose my temper on TV) and I was kind of expecting PJ to push back — but it turns out PJ and I don't see eye-to-eye on Limbaugh. Regardless there was so much objectionable, absurd, or egregious b.s. flying around I just had to pick my  targets. One thing I would like to know is what it says about Matthew Dowd (a perfectly likable fellow) that he eagerly signed up to work for Bush but now thinks the man's a moron. Makes you wonder about the guy's judgment, to say the least.

Anyway, I broke my 6 year boycott to do the show (it was actually a boycott of Politically Incorrect, but I figured it should carry over) because of the book tour and all that. I don't see myself going back anytime soon.
