Lincoln Chafee is one of them. The former U.S. senator and likely gubernatorial candidate joins scheduled guests former Senate majority leader Bill Frist, comedian Sarah Silverman, actor Richard Belzer and scholar Cornel West on "Real Time with Bill Maher." The episode debuts at 10 p.m. Chafee's campaign notified supporters of the appearance Thursday afternoon. "Bill is seeking Linc's opinion on a variety of topics of both local and national interest including: healthcare, the economy, partisan politics, and foreign affairs," reads the message. "Linc has heard over and over again how important these issues are to Rhode Islanders and he is pleased to be able to offer his ideas and thoughts on these and other subjects."

I'm sure that Chafee will gain the same type response that the Jay Leno show received when Bill Mahar appeared with Jay. The Leno show dropped like a rock in rating with viewers showing their disapproval of this outspoken critic, and they say Glenn Beck is bad for the country with the poison Mahar spills weekly. Give me a break, Chafee you probably lost what ever votes you may have had on this decision.

Missing Linc was on The Rachel Madcow Show a few weeks ago. His Press Agent said his next appearance will be on Jon and Kate Plus Eight, then Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?(Obviously not, in his case)
What a complete inbred imbecile.

Bill Maher: Self proclaimed Atheist and producer of "Religulous" a pathetic, deceptive film that attempts to try and take God out of society.
Lincoln Chaffee: Supporter of Planned Parenthood, the leading butcherer of children in America.
Perfect Match.

I like Link ,knew him when I was a kid, but he was a turncoat to the Republician party as a Senator, so what is his new plan,to side with the Dems and continue the tax and spend policies of President Hopey Changey.Rhode Island has seen enough of those policies over the years, we don't need him running the State with the same egenda as the spend thrift Dems.Rhode Islanders are taxed out, and have been carrying the Sate government for way to long. Time to kick them out and start anew and tell Chafee if he whats to lead this state, show us your platform now and maybe we will consider you next time.And see how he acts in the intrim.Talk is cheap and lord knows ,politicians know how to spread the fertilizer until they are elected and then you look at them a day after they are sworn in, and you say to yourself, this isn't the guy I voted for?

I louthe Maher. His thoughts, words and actions are a disgrace to humanity. Sorry Linc .. no votee for you. Not that you would have gotten it in the first place for desserting the republican party. No more turncoats. No more career politicians, which you are because you have been in office way way way too many times already.
