Newsbusters features a bit of the debate between Danielle Pletka, Ben Affleck, and Bill Maher on Maher’s HBO show from the weekend. My favorite chuckle:

… the host brought up the report last week claiming that 655,000 Iraqis have been killed since the start of the war. Pletka, smelling blood, went for the KO:

From left to right, people who understand about doing these sorts of studies agree that thing is horse manure if I can say that on cable TV. It is absolute rubbish. (side chatter) I’m sorry, my children are watching. Seriously speaking, you can say that people have died…

Maher: Whatever…

Pletka: No, no, it’s not whatever. You’ve got to remember that a million people have died under Saddam Hussein…

Maher: Excuse me kids, but stop watching…what ass did you pull that out of?

Pletka: I pulled that out of the U.N. ass.

Video can be seen at YouTube.

[LATER]: I just watched the video after posting this. It’s great - she’s great. What was even better was the scathing look she gave Maher after the “UN ass” comment. Fantastic.
