Why anybody continues to describe this boob as a comedian is beyond me. Because I have yet to see anyone who is anymore less funny than he is. Maher has never been one to candy-coat his feelings, he sees it as an easy way to get his name mentioned. You know, any publicity is better than no publicity, especially for a waste of skin like Maher. In fact, as we have seen on any number of occasions, he very often seems to go out of his way to make offensive remarks, excusing his pathetic behavior by saying it's his "job" to push the envelope. Maher is one of those people who, like Jon Leibowitz, view themselves as being some sort of social commentator out there commenting on all manner of perceived social injustices, real or imagined. And where none exist, guys like Maher just make some up.
Last night, which was Wednesday, Maher moved away from the most recent target of his crass and rather crude remarks, Tim Tebow, after apparently deciding to set his sights on some tempting new targets. It was while doing an interview with CNN’s Andy Cooper 180, that Maher proceeded to slam GOP presidential candidates, praise Barry "Almighty" and make a rather curious quip about Mormonism. Perhaps his most offensive comment was the dig about Mormonism that Maher slipped into his imbecilic little diatribe when discussing the upcoming general election. After proclaiming that he believes Romney will get the nomination, he went on to day, “…then I think Obama’s going to beat him like a runaway sister-wife.” This is one more example of the typical juvenile behavior that Maher is known for.
Now as you may or may not be aware, there's a popular television show on TLC called “Sister Wives.” Personally I don't get the whole concept of this but apparently there are others who do. Anyway, the program, which documents a polygamous family’s lifestyle, has proven to be controversial to say the least. And frankly, I'm sure what demographic out there this show is aimed at. Anyway, Maher’s mention, which is particularly striking considering that polygamy is forbidden by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, seemed to be an obvious dig at Romney’s faith. As he delivered what was described as a "joke," Andy Cooper could be heard laughing nervously and saying ”Oh geez.” Look Andy, you know what this guy is and things that je's likely to say, that's why you had him on as a guest.
But Maher wasn't done just yet. He proceed to launch into a rant, saying that the Republican candidates live in a “bubble of irreality” and that Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Romney “make Obama look pretty good.” Maybe pretty good to morons like him. These candidates, he says, make him “run back into [Obama's] arms screaming.” Maher also went on to voice his agreement with some regarding candidate Ron Paul’s policies: “Ron Paul has some crazy ideas — like getting rid of the Fed…what he said about healthcare — we should just go back to neighbors helping out — just looney. But when it comes to things like the drug war and foreign policy, this guy is so great.” Of course Maher has it just backwards, with it coming as no surprise that he would be in favor of Paul's stance on drugs. Typical!
