Find out more about Matt: Matt Wolf has been a political know-it-all since the age of 4, when his parents would trot him out to recite the names of Governors and Senators for their dinner party guests. Cutting his teeth in Indiana state politics, Matt has years of valuable experience throwing candy at children during parades. He grew up in Littleton and has returned home after eight years of fighting traffic in Los Angeles. |
And other assorted highlights from Bill Maher's comedy set at Trojan Condoms and Rolling Stone's Sherman Street Complex event last night:
"Use those Trojans! You're in Denver, you're a mile high, baby!"
"So now George W. Bush wants to focus his laser-like mind on the economy. Oh, please don't. Eight years ago, this guy told us he was a uniter, not a divider. The only people he's united are the lower class and the middle class."
"If John McCain gets elected, he's going to turn the White House into a managed care facility."
"Fred Thompson... he was too retarded even for the Republicans!"
"John Edwards always talked about two Americas. And in one of them, he was single."
"Rielle Hunter was the one who needed a $400 haircut."
"America can't win a war on terror because it's a war on religious fanatics and we're also religious fanatics."
"Barack Obama was so bad at bowling that Ann Coulter offered to lend him one of her balls."
"Americans will believe anything... Saddam was responsible for 9/11, evolution is just a theory, the science is still out on global warming. So let's just tell everyone that Barack Obama is white."
"Voters in 2000 acted like Al Gore was holding Monica Lewinsky's hair."
Maher was really on fire, there were many other great lines that I probably can't print here. Among those in attendance was the RZA, the brains behind the beats of the massively influential Wu-Tang Clan. In 2006, independent label Stones Throw Records released one of the greatest hip-hop albums that I have ever heard, Donuts by J Dilla. When I asked the RZA what he thought of Donuts, he had this to say:
"Tell you what, man. If you want somebody to throw down beats for you, it's me, Dr. Dre, and J Dilla."
So there you have it. If you love hip-hop, and you don't own Donuts, go out and grab it.
Another highlight was the free copy of Rolling Stone waiting for me in my seat. The new issue contains a feature on the ten-year anniversary of The Big Lebowski. The Dude abides.
