Grab a beer and.....

Well stated, Bill Maher is the furthest thing from Politically Incorrect.

[Jhensy]

Yeah, what was the deal with that Fox guy anyway? Here on the East Coast, we had a guy named John Valby that would tour college campuses, playing piano and singing drinking/risque songs. I'd swear that one of the songs I heard on the Man Show was EXACTLY the same one Valby did years ago. Was this some sort of cottage industry throughout the U.S., or did one copy the other, or what?

Jimmy and his buddie former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein (and columnist for the American Spectator) at a commencement ceremony. Looks like he flew to see his friend on vacation.

[Benson_Carter]

you mean Dr. Dirty!!! John Valvy is from Buffalo New York, and is a well trained (and quite legitimate) pianist. In his other life, he is "Dr. Dirty" and tours the east coast playing drinking songs, limericks, and other dirty songs!

One of the funniest episodes ever..the 'Man Show' wedding!

[RichInOC]

I don't know. They probably learned a lot of the same songs. Bill Foster (the Fox) just sang a capella, but in between the songs, he speed-chugged beers. I mean literally threw mugsfull of beer down his throat as if they were Dixie cups of water. Aside from the tours he did, he used to have a tavern up in Santa Monica where he did his act. Needless to say, the man was a folk hero to a lot of college guys out here.

[codebreaker]

I think a lot of those old drinking songs have the same lyrics and tunes so it wouldn't be surprising that there is a 'East Coast Fox' that even pre-dates his act.

[LarryLied]

The Libertarian Party would not be where it is today without Bill Mahr and those like him.

He will be missed.

[KSCITYBOY]

Bill Maher was never a libertarian. On radio and TV liberals hide behind the libertarian label. Maher was as leftwing as there is. He is also a jerk.

[Liberal Classic]

Non sequitur and wrong to boot. Maher's a leftist.

[mhking]

More babes on mini-tramps on late night!!! Better'n watching "The Best Damn Sports Show Period."

the man on the right in the picture was he on a talk show with some DR. on MTV that discussed sex questions from callers? Cause if he's the same guy he's a big abortion rights proponent.Went off on us right wing nutties one night big time about how awful we were trying to deny young girls abortions.

[codebreaker]

Oh my heavens, it will be a tough call between Lisa Guerrero on FOX and Prime Time Man Show every night at 11:30.

What are the men of America to do?

I for one will tune Lisa G. on for the first 5 minutes to see what she is wearing and then tune back and forth during the ABC Commericals and get my sports news.

"Grab your glass and get your seat,
And Ill tell you about Big-A$$ Lil and Yukon Pete!"

I can't stand Valby too long or my ears start hurtin' from all that cursin'!

[codebreaker]

I think Bill Mahr is a leftist who thinks he is Libertarian.

[asformeandformyhouse]

the man on the right in the picture was he on a talk show with some DR. on MTV that discussed sex

It was on that show that he admitted being bi-sexual. So much for the 'Man' show.

[uglyworld]

Ann Coulter on a trampoline!!!
