Wish I came up with that one.
Oh wait, I did.
What show? Are you talking about reruns from 2001 (which was 25 years ago, btw), or is it really actually still around somewhere?
Loud and proud. If you do it, you do it.
Your backpedaling and tepid deflections aren't exactly overwhelmingly effective. I watched Red Eye from the second season until Gutfeld went all sour and dour blah after becoming part of The Five when that started. Because of Red Eye, I watched Megyn Kelly with Bill Hemmer, then after she was gone for a few months to have a baby, her own show solo when she came back. I actually watched O'Reilly's drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrone fest on quite a few occasions - till I kept passing out from sheer boredom. Somebody forgot to tell the guy that he's no longer teaching school anymore and doesn't have to wait for the class jot down every single thing he said. I even saw Glenn Beck cry. Remember Glenn Beck? He was going to be president.
Do I hide these things? Granted it's kind of embarrassing, but what do I care? If someone doesn't like it, then they don't have to watch it.
Admitting to being an avid Bill Maher fan isn't exactly going to make you my favorite buddy, in fact, it isn't going to change anything at all. But what does that matter to you? This is the web, nothing can touch you, you're safe. And if somebody doesn't like it, then that's their issue to be bothered with, not yours.
That's the wonder of being a weirdo that couldn't ever fit in, I got to do what I wanted because I liked it. Everybody else got to hide. From themselves.
I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
