16. Sometimes I think he lets them talk so that they will say something really

incredibly stupid...about the time their talking points dry up and they start ad libbing.

Why bother calling her out on the stupid? we know it's stupid, and if the show is looking for stupid, rw'ers will certainly provide.

When Steve explained about the invasive ultrasound procedure, she did not know know what they were talking about. "There's no invasive procedure" is what she was spouting. I do wish Bill would have come out stronger on that issue. He asked a good question and what we got from odonnel was word salad, gently tossed.

It's more entertaining watching Steve shut her down than Bill, it forced a repub to fight the stupid. I really don't get the impression that Bill is apologizing for his views.

While I get what Bill was saying re pro-choice and religion, I'd like to hear from a few atheists who are anti-choice.
