Bill Maher quote

[Supergirl]

I love Bill Maher. From the latest episode of Real Time (which you can download in audio form for free as a podcast) he has the following riff on popular culture and new technology:

“Now, in his speech before Congress on Tuesday, the president pointed out that we’re addicted to oil, can’t afford health care, our education system is broken, our economy is near collapse, and the day of reckoning has arrived. But, many members of Congress didn’t hear all that, because during the speech, they were “Twittering.” Which is when you type out little messages on your hand-held device to tell everyone what you’re doing right now! Like, “I’m displaying the very self-absorption that will destroy us all!”

What must Obama have thought as he looked upon this? Hey, “Senator Gossip Girl,” I’m up here. You know, Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but at least he knew how to play an instrument. Folks, this is not a drill. This is the real thing. Our “booze cruise” has hit the iceberg. And I don’t want it to sink. We all need to get involved and learn how to do things and make things again. This is the moment where we must steel our resolve, reach through our blanket screens, grab our farting phone and send off a mighty Twitter saying, ‘Yes, we can!!‘.”

I agree, but I don't care for Bill Maher.

I don't like Bill Maher, but I dislike even more the people who act righteous about poking fun at a guy who wrastled snakes for a living.

Although, minus your verbal diarhea on display at times, i assume you're a decent person, and would not tolerate somebody dying to be a gag.

But, i'd also think you'd see the rationale in attacking someone like irwin, who in my oppinion seemed to just be a bully towards animals for show.

[jack sommerset]

I like Bill and agree with his views on religions. Plus he is FUNNY.But he goes off to much about the republicans and not enough about the democrats. I am neither for the record.

[Jacob1983]

I can't believe Bill Maher banged Ann Coulter.

[Destro]

Ann Coulter use to be hot 10 years ago

Big deal; Bill isn't any funnier than Obama himself:

Uh Oh, White House Seeks Economic Advice From Twitter (http://www.businessinsider.com/uh-oh-white-house-seeks-economic-advice-from-twitter-2009-3)

So, Obama is seeking economic advice from the co-founder of a business model that raises no revenue? Sweet...

[LockBeard]

I really fucking doubt Obama thought any of that seeing as how he let Pelosi write the bill stealing trillions from Americans.

I doubt Obama even read the damn thing.


Jesus Christ. Use your brains. Maher can't just bash Bush for the next 4 years, so he will pick on the little piglets while sucking some Obama dick. Way to go you rebel you. Way to stand up against the establishment you have bitched about for so long :lmao

[MannyIsGod]

What is it with people saying they are leaving unable to leave? Not that I care if they stay, but why even post that you're leaving?

Ann Coulter use to be hot 10 years ago

Are those Dog years?

[jack sommerset]

I can't believe Bill Maher banged Ann Coulter.

From the sounds of things I think he will be banging her again. They are doing a show together.

[smeagol]

I find Bill Maher witty and funny, although I disagree with 80% of what he believes in (same thing with the late George Carlin).

[balli]

He's a wit off the cuff, but anything he plans, sucks. His monologues are painful.

I haven't watched the show in a while but some his New Rules were damn funny . . .

I haven't seen it in a while either and forgot about them, but that's very true.

i think the twittr guy is using facebook's business models. The early version of it had no ads.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Bill Maher's a fag...and a racist.

:lmao oh the irony

[baseline bum]

Bill Maher is fucking awesome. I was pissed when ABC pussed-out and canned Politically Incorrect when the right-wing fucktards got their panties in a bunch over his comment about the hijackers, but it was for the better as Real Time is far superior. :toast

[LockBeard]

Wasn't Obama one of these new-gen pansies who cry when they can't use their blackberries...


I watch HBO on fri. nights every once in a while and his show is lame. His audience doesn't even laugh at his lame crackerjack jokes. These loser celebs he has on his panel are also a joke.

The little troll man can go eat shit. I respect his political incorrectness even though maybe only 30% is on point.

[ChumpDumper]

Did Maher ever say he was quitting TV and then came back on TV a few days later?

[The Power Hour.]

I used to like Maher until I found out chris duel has such man love for him!

[johnsmith]

I think Duel and Mouse should have a fight to the death..........whoever wins should slit their own throat.

[Wild Cobra]

Bill Maher's a fag...and a racist.
I wouldn't say that about him. I just think he's pathetic.

I can't believe this atheist scumbag actually did this? Who mocks dead people for christs sake. I guess not having the fear of god in you has its privellages.

He's just a pathetic piece of shit. It's just that simple.

[Jacob1983]

Bill Maher reminds of the kid in school that would always remind the teacher that homework was due when the teacher forgot. He's a big time d-bag in my opinion. Did anyone see how bitter he was at the Oscars?

Bill Mahr is an idiot cubed. THE reason I cancelled HBO. Short, stupid, and ugly to boot.

[ChumpDumper]

Damn, you gotta be pretty sensitive to cancel HBO because of Maher's show.

[word]

Damn, you gotta be pretty sensitive to cancel HBO because of Maher's show.

It wasn't just that. But the price you paid for Sopranos etc to listen to their bullshit political stuff...and it goes beyond Mahr but how their 'special' programming was a bit too much for me. Same reason I don't watch Comedy Central. Political rapped up in entertainment stuff...no thanks. I watch sports on TV...otherwise it's generally off. I do watch CNBC, FOX and CNN on rare occassion.

[word]

double post..

[ChumpDumper]

So it wasn't THE reason.

The Sopranos jumped the shark in season 2 anyway.

[word]

No, season 2 is when most people started tuning in...even after that. When they killed Big Pussy I was hurt...hurt I tell you. Then they had Deadwood which was good for three shows and made the mistake of killing the most colorful character in the 3rd episode...wild bill...but it was a good show. No man, back in the 80's when HBO first came out..all movies...Then they went' HBO special with comedians...which was cool..then HBO productions..some good some bad...then political....and I'm out. HBO should be movies in my little brain. Comedy Central should be comedy...when they go off the reservation...I sign off. It's my prerogative to do so and I did. Once my contract for sat ends, I'm off that too. I just need my Spurs games when they are on. My Longhorn games during CFB season and I'll leave the ranting and raving to you.

[ChumpDumper]

Props for spelling "prerogative" correctly.

[word]

one more double post...my bad.

[SA210]

Bill Maher is awesome. I don't like that he jumped on the Obama wagon so easily, but I love his show.

[Spurminator]

Same reason I don't watch Comedy Central. Political rapped up in entertainment stuff...no thanks. ... I do watch CNBC, FOX and CNN on rare occassion.
