Real Time With Bill Maher

One of the finest intellects in America today, P.J. O'Rourke was a guest on Real Time With Bill Maher. O'Rourke is one of the best humorists in American letters since Mark Twain. So who does Bill Maher book as the other guest on the panel that evening?

Ben Affleck.

I'd always felt indifferent to Affleck, but after seeing him opposite P.J. O'Rourke, I think that Affleck is an asshat. Everything that came out of his mouth was so vapid when compared with what O'Rourke had to say. Who books the guests on that show? The only logical explanation for this mismatched pair would be that there is no booker - Maher gets a couple of chimps to pick names out of his rolodex. I can't imagine a more stupid and random way to pick guests.

I can't wait for the guest panel featuring Paris Hilton and Christopher Hitchens!
