I actually laughed out loud at New Rules - it was clearly OTT, but he made his point. 
We obviously can't see Joe Biden doing any of those ridiculous things, but that was exactly Bill's point.
You are great to post. 
Which Is why I wait as long as I can. This week it was Sarah Haider - last week it was inexplicably Michael Moore. I'm wondering if they only release a certain number of minutes? But I was glad that they included his "funny bit" this week, I always like those.
But I knew what she meant. I agree that she was terrific! 
Though last week they left out Michael Moore - and that was the featured interview. 
She's someone I knew nothing about so I had no idea what to expect. I don't know why they choose to eliminate some of the interviews. I can't think of any reason, last week it was Michael Moore.
And I have to agree with you about Andrew Sullivan, I used to be pleased that a conservative was agreeing with us - but tonight he was just a jerk. Yes, he doesn't like Trump, but he was totally out-of-line on Kavanaugh! He's as much of an offensive ass now as he was when he was harassing girls in his teens - and proved it during those hearings! 
I was disappointed when they left Michael Moore out last week since they used his appearance to publicize te show, it didn't make sense to me. A few months ago they didn't make the opening interview with Fran Lebowitz available because she apparently said something controversial. But I wasn't aware that this happened with either Michael Moore or Sarah Haider.
And we know that Bill likes to have RWers on, maybe he takes pride that they still come on his show. His audience obviously doesn't appreciate them, but he usually likes shutting them down, and it also baffled me that he agreed with Sullivan on Kavanaugh. I know exactly what you mean, his behavior, especially when he was questioned, was positively cringeworthy. I'm glad that they're revisiting this, not that I expect it to make any difference, but how anyone can defend him - given his recent behavior - is totally beyond me. And Heather McGhee was also my favorite on tonight's show!
I actually laughed out loud - and had to watch it again! 
Especially when Bill agreed with him! Yes, Kavanaugh was an abusive and entitled monster back when he was a high school student, but his behavior during the hearings made it obvious that he hadn't changed one bit! Heather McGhee kept bringing that up, but she just wasn't getting through to them. I wish she could have showed the nauseating footage! 
Really liked hearing Samantha Power, Heather McGhee and Tim Naftali. The New Rules Biden bit was hilarious! 
Andrew Sullivan was a racist, right-wing jerk, as usual. But overall a pretty good show. Thanks!
I may need to watch it again it was so outrageously funny! And that kind of OTT humor is exactly what we need at a time like this!
As for Andrew Sullivan, did he even watch those excruciating Kavanaugh hearings? That entitled creep hasn't changed one bit since his misspent youth and anyone who supports him is beyond my understanding...
