Getting lots of general defenders, which I didn’t expect. Here’s part of an e-mail:

when compared to Hollywood types, Bill Maher does make sense, sorta. I don’t agree with much of what he says, but he at least presents a point of view based on reason and not pure Bush does it, it must be wrong emotional bullc. Maybe it’s because his guests are sooooo out there that it makes him seem “moderate” but I dunno, dude is OK in my book.
