I love this show. It's on Showtime, though. (Mondays at 10!)
spoiler?
The one on gay marriage/families was particularly great, not least because the addressed one of my longstanding questions: How the hell do they get these assholes to say such rEdiculous stuff on camera? Answer: apparently, they think they're bullet proof. I guess this doesn't surprise me.
I was somewhat disappointed with their supposed disembowelment of Mother Theresa, Ghandi and the Dalai Lama. While I always adore seeing Christopher Hitchens (who will ever be in my heart for coining the phrase "a simpering bambi narcisisst and a theiving Albanian dwarf" to describe the princess of wales and Mother T.), I mean, damn,
I could have given them better dirt (and backed it up) on Mother Theresa than they used. And the best dirt on Ghandi they can come up with is "he liked to lie around naked with girls"? WTF? Who cares? They do this themselves in half of their episodes. Enemas? Someone send them a netti. They should have focused more - a whole ep on MT would have been better.
BR(The description of Richard Gere as the only person the DL could find more stupid and gullible than the CIA was pretty good, though)C
