Re-Cap of Alex Wagner on "Real Time"

Alex Wagner tries to restrain herself from strangling this guy

My lady, Alex Wagner, shined last Friday night on the season premier of Real Time with Bill Maher. Unlike her last appearance, where she was consistently shouted over by teabagging Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), Alex stayed engaged with the panel throughout. Conservative columnist Reihan Salam did his able best to bogart the conversation - no matter the topic - but Alex gave as good as she got. Salam remained a robotic talking point reciter as he listed off the so-called failures of the Obama Administration, while refusing to acknowledge the Republican's sabotage of the president's jobs and economic plans, and the sometimes racist motives behind the right's actions.

The always confusing mega-billionaire Mark Cuban was the third person on the panel. He appears to be liberal in nearly all instances, except when the topic is unions. Like most wealthy people, he sees no need. 

Oh, and Chelsea Handler was on, too. She didn't contribute much to the discussion, even though I basically agreed with her on most of her points.
