Kasparov on Maher checkmate in two 20.10.2007 – Bill Maher is a colorful, eloquent and witty talkshow host, a comedian who has very high ratings and a dedicated following. Maher also tends to dominated his guests with his superior intellect and verbal skills. But his encounter with Garry Kasparov ended in a double checkmate for the former world chess champion. It was an impressive display in a tough talk show. Good stuff, must watch.

Gary Kasparov is a genuine hero. Everyone in the United States should be rooting for his success.

I guess Maher’s formula to dominate his guests by his superior intellect is to pick really dumb guests. (I think Sheila Jackson-Lee was on stage on Oct. 19 when he was throwing the 9/11 “truther” heckler out, but kept getting taunts from the audience.)

Bill maher is an idiot and if living in any other country in the world would be cleaning toilets. The only reason he has a voice is because of the good men that came before him and that he will never be.

Gary Kasparov is awesome. He hates Putin and he’s good at chess. I’d root for him over that scumbag Bill Maher any day.

Bill Maher is a colorful, eloquent and witty talkshow host, a comedian who has very high ratings and a dedicated following. Anybody who subscribes to HBO for the "Sopranos" or some other crap is directly responsible for keeping this idiot on the boob tube.

I ain't about to be watching any more Maher videos.
Kasparov (whom I admire) himself apparently is not troubled with the notion of working in sewers though if he is hanging out with that human toilet Maher.

That’s so true. I watched it a couple times. Once he had a writer from the WSJ who was supposeed to be the conservative. Good lord he was slow. I could have debated Maher beter. Haven’t watched since.

Slams Putin and says Bush made a mistake to trust him.
Said Putin needs high oil prices to stay in power so he gives Hezzbullah, Syria, Iran etc... weapons (US busy trying to maintain order).
The transvestite pole smoker made a point that Putin had high approval ratings. Kasparov zings him by saying if Bush/Cheney had a tight control of the media that Putin does (Making fun of leftist who think the Bush “regime” is as bad or oppressive) their approval ratings would be higher.

Kasparov also slams Maher (Who looks like a bad stand-up, homosexual, vampire comedian) by stating that Russians do not have in their "soul" the need for a strong arm leader.
Maher needs to stop smoking weed.

Maher is a self-proclaimed libertarian who supports the legalization of gay marriage, the death penalty, the legality of abortion and euthanasia (describing his position humorously as "pro-death") and racial profiling at airports. He favors partial privatization of social security, ending corporate welfare, and legalizing gambling, prostitution, and all drugs. He is very critical of organized religion, which he describes as a neurological disorder that spreads guilt and hatred among people while offering nothing in return. He calls himself an apatheist, which is a mixture of apathy and atheism, defined by a lack of belief in deities in general, rather than specific disbelief in any of them. Maher is a very colorful character, eloquent, witty and genuinely funny. Sounds like a nightmare I once had...

Good grief. Gag a maggot.
