For anyone who's a fan of Newark mayor Cory Booker... (living in, bill)

... He will featured as a guest tonight on Bill Maher's show Real Time at 10pm.

He's a pretty good speaker. Last time he spoke on the show it was interesting to hear what he had to say.

Just thought I'd pass this along.

Cheers,
Mike

he is a liberal or a conservative politician

Also did he push the TV producers to do that DEA reality show in Newark to up the profile of the city?

About a week or so ago, I saw in the online edition of the Ledger that he was recently honored as the Essex County "Black Man Of The Year". How many different colors DO they honor in Essex County?

Who was the most recent, "Little Yellow Man Of The Year"?

After watching this, I'm slightly more proud to be living in Newark currently. Maher's trying to play the same old partisan blame game, but Booker was saying "No...that's not helping, that's not going to get us out of this mess." Of course, he had to sprinkle some inspirational Obama-esque "American Dream" talk to soften it up. On the economic topics, Bill was pretty much proving that he didn't know what he was talking about. He got his ass handed to him...by another Democrat

I agreed completely about what Booker said about Limbaugh...that he has so much power because so many people give him so much attention. Stop talking about him so much, and his power will diminish.

The episode as a whole had a more somber tone to it. It's a shame, because I usually laugh my ass off at Real Time...but I guess it's just a sign of the times. On a humorous note, though Booker kept a serious composure throughout the show...he started losing it during New Rules. I giggled
