PART 2- BILL MAHER ON COUNTDOWN TALKS ABOUT MASSA & HEALTH REFORM
November 12, 2010
I may not agree with everything Bill Maher says all the time .However, I always felt he is ahead of the curb on political issues . Some people may feel Maher is arrogant but I don’t . I think Bill Maher is very intelligent . I’m not talking about the type of intelligence you get from reading a book either . I’m talking about the type of introspective intelligence and insight that can’t be explained . The only explanation is an old saying in Hollywood, “You got it” . You don’t know what “it” is but “it’s” there . It draws people in and makes them think of something in a different way . So you have to give the guy his props . Anyways, Maher and Lawrence O’Donnell discuss different, current political issues such as the Massa scandal and health care reform .

Carey began appearing in commercials for restaurants in the late 1990s in Canada with The Great Root Bear, but his two-year contract with A&W Food Services of Canada was cut short in November 1998 after an episode of The Drew Carey Show featured McDonald’s. As a result of his dismissal, Carey sued A&W for compensation.
On April 22, 1999 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (then “Disney-MGM Studios”), part of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Carey debuted a 12-minute attraction entitled Sounds Dangerous! In the show, a camera follows Carey through a day as an undercover detective. When his video camera fails, the audience is left in complete darkness wearing earphones, following his adventure through sound cues. The attraction is presently running on a limited “seasonal” schedule.
In 1999, Carey made a cameo appearance in “Weird Al” Yankovic’s music video for “It’s All About the Pentiums.” In 2004, he made an appearance for Fountains of Wayne’s video for “Mexican Wine” giving an introduction to the video as if it were on a stage.
On May 7, 2000, Carey’s television film Geppetto debuted on The Wonderful World of Disney. The film, an adaptation of Pinocchio, included actor Wayne Brady who had joined Carey on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and a few episodes of The Drew Carey Show. Carey took singing lessons to prepare for the role.
In 2000 Carey was given a cameo appearance in the House Party expansion pack of the computer game The Sims. To make him appear, the Sims must throw a successful party, which causes Carey to arrive in a limo and join the festivities. Carey is a fan of The Sims series and during one April Fool’s episode of The Drew Carey Show, a scene takes place completely within The Sims.
In 2001 he made an appearance in the WWE’s annual Royal Rumble event. He eliminated himself after Kane made his way to the ring.
Carey provided the entertainment for the 2002 Annual White House correspondents’ dinner. Once Carey completed his standup routine for the 1,800 guests, President George W. Bush, noting Carey’s improv work, made a joke of his own: “Drew? Got any interest in the Middle East?” In 2003, he joined Jamie Kennedy to host the WB’s live special Play for a Billion. In September 2003, Carey led a group of comedians, including Blake Clark and the Drew Carey Show’s Kathy Kinney, on a comedy tour of Iraq.
In 2005, Carey appeared in three films: the animated film Robots, where he provided a voice-over for the character Crank; The Aristocrats where he retold a dirty joke along with other celebrities; and the documentary, Fuck, where he was interviewed.
On June 8, 2006, Drew Carey’s Sporting Adventures debuted on the Travel Channel. In this series, Carey traveled throughout Germany to photograph multiple FIFA World cup soccer games while he immerses himself in the culture of the towns and states he visits.
In September 2008, Carey began filling in as a guest DJ on Little Steven’s Underground Garage on Sirius radio.
When approached about his political views, Carey has distanced himself from conservative celebrities by emphasizing his fiscally conservative, libertarian leanings. He has expressed his distaste for the Bush administration’s management of the War in Iraq, specifically on the September 15, 2007, episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. In 2007, Carey made donations to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. On the September 26, 2008 episode of The Late Late Show, Carey described a libertarian to host Craig Ferguson as “a conservative who still gets high.”

Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born on May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian and television host. He is the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits.
Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57.
Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted, gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience.
In 2005, he left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show’s news-parody concept, The Colbert Report is a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O’Reilly Factor. Since its debut, the series has established itself as one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated series, earning Colbert three Emmy nominations and an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006. Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2006. His book, I Am America (And So Can You!), was No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller List.
Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American actor, comedian, photographer, and game show host. After serving in the U.S. Marines and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey eventually gained popularity starring on his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and serving as host on the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, both of which aired on ABC.
Carey has appeared in several films, television series, music videos, a made-for-television film, and a computer game. He currently hosts the game show The Price Is Right. He is interested in a variety of sports, has worked as a photographer at U.S. National Team soccer games, and is a minority owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC. Carey is engaged and has written an autobiography detailing his early life and television career.

Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding (Spoof)
August 8, 2010
http://www.britethorn.com
Film by John Kramer. Starring Matt Hendricks and Andrew Thorp.
Like a lot of you out their, no one at Britethorn made the guest list to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding on Saturday, July 31st, but we still wish Chelsea and her new husband, Marc Mezvinsky all the best and much happiness. at the Astor Courts Estate on July 31, 2010 in Rhinebeck, New York.
We also applaud her for choosing to only invite people to whom she is personally close.
Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, married Marc Mezvinsky today in an interfaith ceremony at the estate built by John Jacob Astor on the Hudson River about two hours north of New York City.
From the AP: Chelsea Clinton wed her longtime boyfriend under extraordinary security at an elegant Hudson River estate late Saturday.
Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton announced in a statement that their daughter wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky after weeks of secrecy and buildup that had celebrity watchers flocking to the small village of Rhinebeck for the evening nuptials. The site of the wedding, a Beaux Arts riverside estate called Astor Courts, was sealed off from the general public.
“Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends,” the Clintons said. “We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family. On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day.”
Chelsea Clinton, wearing a strapless white gown with a full skirt and silver beading around the waist and carrying a bouquet of white flowers, was escorted down the aisle by her father. The former president and the groom wore dark suits, while the mother of the bride wore a fuchsia dress.
It is estimated that hundreds of guests gathered at the historic estate near the end of a near-perfect summer day of warm temperatures, blue skies and cottony clouds. The ceremony was conducted by a rabbi and a reverend as Chelsea Clinton is Methodist and Mezvinsky is Jewish, and included a poem by Leo Marks titled, “The Life That I Have,” according to the family.
The wedding was a mix of high society and high security. The road to Astor Courts was blocked off Saturday — neighbors received bottles of wine for their troubles — and the sky above was declared a no-fly zone by federal aviation officials. Police and security guards fanned out around this usually sleepy town.
Consistent with Chelsea Clinton’s desire for privacy, the family had released no details of the wedding beyond the date. But the scope of the event became apparent when more than a half-dozen busloads of wedding guests — men in black tie, women in dresses — were transported from a hotel in the village to the riverside ceremony as gawkers looked on.
Celebrities spotted in Rhinebeck for the event included actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, fashion designer Vera Wang, Madeleine Albright, who was secretary of state during Bill Clinton’s second term as president and Terry McAuliffe, former Democratic National Committee chairman.

Bill Maher contrasts Bush’s political literacy with Obama
July 23, 2010
Full story at http://www.thebluestate.com/2007/03/video_bill_mahe.html
Monday on Larry King Live, political comedian Bill Maher pointed out that it might be smart for a change to have a president that has lived oversees before — since foreign policy is our number one challenge. When we went into Iraq, Bush did not even know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.
BILL MAHER: He’s (Obama) only been in the Senate a couple of years. But he has a different kind of experience — for example, he lived oversees. That might be helpful since we’re in so much trouble oversees. He understands the Muslim world, compared to our present President, who had to ask at the time we were invading a Muslim country — when he was told that Iraq was made up of Sunnis and Shias — he said, “Oh, I thought there were Muslims over there.” To me, this is an impeachable offense. To me, this is an insult to me — when Bill O’Reilly says, “You really think he’s stupid?” Yeah. Somebody who invades a Muslim country and doesn’t know that there’s a potential civil war between the Sunnis and the Shias brewing — that’s stupid, and that’s impeachable.

Stephen Colbert, Drew Carey, Garry Trudeau: Political Humor and Campaigning Part 6 (2004)

Stephen Colbert is co-author of the satirical text-and-picture novel Wigfield: The Can Do Town That Just May Not, which was published in 2003 by Hyperion Books. The novel was a collaboration between Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Paul Dinello, and tells the story of a small town threatened by the impending destruction of a massive dam. The narrative is presented as a series of fictional interviews with the town’s residents, accompanied by photos. The three authors toured performing an adaptation of Wigfield on stage the same year the book was released.
Colbert appeared in a small supporting role in the 2005 film adaptation of Bewitched. He has made guest appearances on the television series Curb Your Enthusiasm, Spin City, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and on the improvisational comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. He voiced the characters of Reducto and Phil Ken Sebben in the Adult Swim’s Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law but left the show in 2005 to work on The Colbert Report. His characters were both killed, though he returned to voice Phil for the series finale. Colbert also has provided voices for Cartoon Network’s The Venture Bros., Comedy Central’s Crank Yankers, and American Dad!, as well as for Canadian animated comedy series The Wrong Coast. He appeared as Homer Simpson’s life coach in the Simpsons episode “He Loves to Fly and He D’ohs.”
Colbert filled in for Sam Seder on the second episode of The Majority Report on Air America Radio, and has also done reports for The Al Franken Show. He appeared on a track on Wig in a Box, a tribute album for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Colbert read the part of Leopold Bloom in Bloomsday on Broadway XXIV: Love Literature Language Lust: Leopold’s Women Bloom on June 16, 2005 at Symphony Space in New York City. He appeared in a series of TV commercials for General Motors, as a not-too-bright investigator searching for the elusive (and non-existent in real life) “Mr. Goodwrench”. He also portrayed the letter Z in Sesame Street: All-Star Alphabet, a 2005 video release.
Colbert is a producer of The 1 Second Film, the world’s largest nonprofit collaborative art film. His video request that IMDb list his credit for The 1 Second Film (“it is as valid as most of my credits”) enabled thousands of the film’s producers to be listed in the massive movie database until they were removed in early 2007.
Colbert has released one book associated with The Colbert Report, I Am America (And So Can You!). It was released on October 7, 2007 by Grand Central Publishing. Grand Central Publishing is the successor to Warner Books, which published America (The Book), written by The Daily Show staff. The book contains similar political satire, but was written primarily by Colbert himself rather than as a collaboration with his Colbert Report writing staff.
On November 23, 2008, his Christmas special, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!, aired on Comedy Central. It was released on DVD in November 2008.
In January 2010, Colbert was named the assistant sports psychologist for the US Olympic speed skating team at the 2010 Winter Olympics. He was also invited to be part of NBC’s 2010 Winter Olympics coverage team by Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports.
