During Friday night's Real Time, Republican Congressman Jack Kingston took to the airwaves to echo the right wing talking points of Obama being "not patriotic enough". One of the memes that Kingston brought up was about Obama not wearing his lapel pin. Let's take a look at people not wearing their lapel pin:

How interesting. That looks like Rep. Jack Kingston talking about Obama not wearing his lapel pin. What's missing? Jack Kingston's lapel pin.
So does this make Kingston unpatriotic, a hypocrite or just plain stupid.
Of course this isn't the first time Kingston played a game of "open mouth, insert foot". A little over a year ago, Kingston said if families couldn't survive on the old minimum wage then they needed to work longer hours. Just a month before that he was crying that working a 5 day work week in Congress would "take away from families". I guess his family is more important than yours or mine.

I have watched Bill Maher for years but his show appears to circling the bowl.
He says that they try to balance the show with conservatives and republicans.
The last show was about as balanced as Fox News. Bill gives these people an opportunity to spew more crap. It is different when there is an actual dialog with some give and take but please have someone on the show that sharp enough to call bullshit to their face. Bill doesn't always "get it". When a dullard like Kingston or a tool like Frum are given a soapbox what can you expect? At least he hasn't had Coulter on lately.
The last show was weak. Next week Hitchens is back on. The last time he seemed drunk and shot the audience a bird when they booed him. Where is Belzer when you need him.
I'm not sure Bill's ego can handle the competition when his quests have to take charge and clarify details and issues. Bill still thinks we need more nuclear power plants. DUH!
He needs to keep Matt Taibbi close by.
