On this weekend’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the host presided over a discussion of imagined violent sex with two presidential candidates (Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum), courtesy of Air America’s Marc Maron and Dan Savage (who we last heard from on the joys of non-monogamy).
What a repulsive conversation. And it is not a first there.
Can we all agree to avoid that show? To avoid going on it. To avoid watching it.
I’d like to think most try to enter conversations on television hoping to bring something new and different but uplifting and constructive, that might move the conversation forward. Going on Real Time, it’s hard to avoid being dragged down.
Let’s just say “no.”
