Richie, I have no problem believing you and understanding your criticism of Maher. I find myself wishing he'd tone it down *just* a tad - you don't always have to have it turned up to '11'.

His New Rules are still hysterical.

But, really, it's his panel discussions that are the stars of the show. He'll bring on conservatives AND liberals - and give the conservatives credit for coming into a lion's den audience of liberals. Being able to listen to them go back and forth on a given topic for more than just a sound bit is somewhat refreshing.
