Bill Maher

Love him?
Hate him?

I don't agree with most of his views but the guy makes me laugh my ass off.

Love him? To paraphrase Woody Allen in Annie Hall, 'Love is too weak a word for what I feel. I lurve (him). I loave (him). I LUFF (him) - two F's.'

Bill Maher, in addition to being witty as hell, is usually dead on the money (he and I part ways on drug policy). And the man's got balls of steel (did you know he's been the subject of death threats?).

He's here any day now and I bought my folks tickets to see him.

Bill Maher: bow

Sure.
He started as a stand up comedian.
Around 10 years ago he started really gearing his comedy in a political direction.
He hosted the show Politically Incorrect until it was cancelled because the network didn't approve of some comments he made after 911.
He now has a show on HBO called Real Time.
He's a genius, if you ask me.

Gosh, I'm loving our new relationship, Teach!

Yes, with Senator Simpson!
I thought Bill displayed amazing restraint during that whole thing.

"You're making fun of Americans who have some religious bent or a faith. Keep doing that and your people will never win an election. Because whether you and I like it or not, this is the only country on the face of the earth that was founded because of religious persecution and a belief in God. That's why they left Europe. So keep making fun of them. Keep making fun of the gays and the lesbians, pulling people in, tearing people up, thinking that Hollywood has all the brains in America, from people who are making millions of bucks on one movie and telling the rest of the people, and making fun of them, and you'll never make it, never make it." – Senator Alan Simpson

"You know, to quote the president, 'I'm getting a mixed message from you, Senator.' I mean, either I'm making fun of the religious people or I'm making fun of the gay people. I can't be doing both, can I?" – Bill Maher

"Well, you just made a little crack. You know, it was funny-funny, you know. Party-party. You know, those are little cracks. Those are smart, little cracks about the gay/lesbian people... You keep telling them. I think they're offensive. And I don't have to come on this program... So put that one in your pipe!" – Senator Alan Simpson

"Okay, there's only one way to solve this-I challenge you to a duel!" – Bill Maher




It was funnier to watch than to read lol

i used to love that show, especially when karen finley or john waters would be guests. my favorite moment from PI was when an african-american activist said "you can't tell me that if it were late at night and you were walking down the street alone with a black man behind you, you wouldn't cross the street," to which john waters replied, without a beat, "of course i would...if it were little richard!" lol

Why? Real Time is better - it's not censored, it's an hour so they get more in depth. thumbs up!

I don't always agree w/ Bill Maher but he makes sense a lot of the time & his show is great.
