On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher last night, Bill welcomed actor Jason Alexander, counter-terrorism expert Richard Clarke, and journalist Dana Priest.
He was joined via satellite feed by biologist Richard Dawkins and Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) - who supported an immediate pull out of Iraq, like GOP candidate for president, Ron Paul
The Washington Post's Dana Priest, part of the panel last night, has won two Pulitzers for exposing the Bush Administration for various crimes.
Her Pulitzers were for mistreatment of Vets at Walter Reed Hospital LINK and the CIA's Use of Torture, Prisoner Abuse, Secret Prisons and Wrongful Imprisonment in Bush's "War on Terror" LINK
But it was the New Rules segnent that Maher made his point of the night, that whether it is crazy isolated religious cults or the behemoth established Catholic Church, sexual crimes against women and especially children are hidden and enabled by corrupt power structures and byzantine inside politics.

lowbrow entertainment. no checks and balances in his monarchy talkshow.
No actually it was purchasing a new ruler at Wal Mart which brought back the supressed memory of Sister Agnes making me bow on the rulers on a daily basis whilst turning her head as I must preform oral acts on my beloved priest in Harrisburgh Pennsylvania at the age of 10 years old. Oh an YES he is still a Priest! God save the Pope.
