Bill Maher hosted Bush biographer Robert Draper, author of the recently released Dead Certain, on Real Time Friday night. In this clip* Maher points out this item from Draper’s book :
After Bush won the Texas governorship, he said to an aide “The Blacks didn’t come out for me like the Hispanics did so they’re not going to see much help from me.”
Nope. No outrageous speech coming from the right. Deval Patrick is the clearly the new Tokyo Rose, but I’m sure the president refusing to help people based on race and voting tendencies can be explained away by attacking the messenger. I look forward to the defenses of “Hearsay!” and “Out of context!” to defend our Bigot in Chief.
Nope. Deval Patrick is the outrageous one – not Bush. Not Cheney. Not Gonzales or Rumsfeld or any other neocon. All eyes on Deval’s 9/11 speech.

Here's the clip again. To enjoy, listen to Kanye and watch the faces of Mike Myers and Tucker Carlson…
Or Chris Tucker? They all look alike. Tuckers, that is. (Tucker is my last name.)

I love that clip.
I think it's actually possible to the sweat start pouring on Myers' neck….
