2. I know, I was disappointed, too. Especially during this "big news" week, though I know he schedules

Ahead of time.

3. May be interesting, but I suspect that they all will go off script

Thanks, again, for keeping with this

4. Thanks! I'm not particularly familiar with the guests which is disappointing on this big news week

But we'll see how this turns out - and we do know that they schedule the guests ahead of time.

5. There should be considerable commentary about Rushdie.

He was on Maher’s show many times, and particularly after the fatwa was declared. Maher’s friendship with him was one of the things made me put up with his other bs. Until recently.

9. He devoted quite a bit of time to Rushdie, he said they were friends...

The Attack on Salman Rushdie

The panel reacts to the news of the attack on Salman Rushdie in Chautauqua, NY.
