BILL MAHER: Okay, so I mentioned in the monologue I'm a little mad this week. I usually try to hide that, but, you know, when the Teabaggers say that they feel like they have no... CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: I love the way you say that. MAHER: What? ROSS DOUTHAT, NEW YORK TIMES: Just trips off the tongue. MATTHEWS: The Teabaggers. MAHER: The Teabag, well, you know they always say they feel like neither Party represents them. That's how I feel this week. So Teabaggers, you're not alone. And the reason why is because yes, I'm mad at the oil company who didn't obviously build their rig well enough. I'm mad at America in general because we should have gotten off the oil tit starting in the '70s. I'm mad at the people who go, "Drill, baby, drill." And by the way, they should turn up on the Gulf Coast and start cleaning up the birds with their "Drill, baby, drill" t-shirts. But I'll tell you who I'm really mad at which is Barack Obama. Couple of weeks ago, the President, our President said, "It turns out the oil rigs today generally don't cause oil spills. They are technologically very advanced." Now if, if I was quoting George Bush, this crowd would be laughing in hysterics. LAURA TYSON, ECONOMIST AND FORMER CLINTON ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Yes they would. MAHER: So, why isn't Barack Obama getting more shit for this? I think he should. (Applause.)
