Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
I have two issues with Maher.
1. When you have a scientist or somebody who actually knows something on, shut the f-ck up and let them talk. Talk all you want over the actor or pundit yahoos, I don't care. But if you're talking to the climate scientist or the epidemiologist, this is the time for you to ferme la bouche and let the guy who will never get another second in front of an audience this big say his thing.
2. It's great that you bring righties on and force your audience to listen to them. You're the only one who really does that. But for god's sake, stop bringing STUPID righties on. Maher brings on guests like Coulter or speechwriters or pundits -- idiots, one and all. Typically they have really long legs and cute bangs. They sit in the "dunce seat" (the middle seat on his panel). They contribute nothing*. Bring on intelligent conservatives who can actually challenge lefty CW in ways that make people uncomfortable. Even a guy like Michael Steele, as anodyne and form > content as he is on those shows (his own show he is much better) would be an improvement over the Bimbo of the Week.
* S.E. Cupp is the lone exception. It is obvious whenever she's on Maher is just trying to make her, and it is equally obvious she is way out of his league. That dynamic is funny, but even better is just enjoying looking at S. E. Cupp.

Its nothing new...its the same thing he has said since his Comedy Central show. He thinks the Democrats have become too PC for their own good and are just looking for a cause to feel self-righteous about. He gets into it with his audience a lot because he has no sacred cows outside of climate change.
Hell on the episode before the election he said to David Frum that he was wrong. That all those times they talked about how Romney or McCain were the threats they went too far. He said they could deal with the fall out from their being elected just like they did Dubya...but this is different and it is very dangerous for completely different reasons. I honestly think Frum was more scared of Trump than anyone...
Maher is an unabashed Lefty but he has no problem calling out the Left for their stupidity. Half the reason anyone even knows who Bernie is is because of appearances on his show. Maher was asking Bernie to run in '08 and all the way until now because Maher was not in the Hillary camp.
