I lost count on how many fat jokes Bill Maher told

[bigdarryl]

Damn

[A-Schwarzenegger]

1. Wow.

[JaneyVee]

2. He tells jokes for a living.

[Cha]

3. That's a Shame.. he knows better that. There's More than

Plenty of material without bringing Christie's weight into it.

And, it's just Wrong.

4. bill maher is a douche. a very funny douche but a douche none the less

douchiness is kinda his MO

[Kurovski]

6. LOL

best description yet. Worthy of maher's writing team.

[HipChick]

5. He's a stand up comic..

Everything and anything is game...that's what he does for a living

[GP6971]

7. He used to be a stand up comic

But now he is hosting a show with a national audience and being a stand up comic are 2 entirely different things. Greater audience. Not criticizing .....just noting the difference.

[Kurovski]

8. He also goes on tour with his stand-up shtick.

So he's two mints in one!

[GP6971]

9. Agree!! n/f

[quinnox]

10. Too bad I missed it, Maher can be really funny sometimes

[liberal_at_heart]

11. that's the first thing the comics go for about Christie. Lazy comedy.

I won't watch comedy bits that are about his weight nor will I read threads on DU about his weight.

[NJCher]

16. that's my objection, too

It's not original, it's not clever, it's not funny, and it's not interesting

It is embarrassing. Time to grow up, Mr. Maher.

12. Mary Matalin was drunk as a dog

She's a right winger, so let's not circle the wagons on that one.

[Historic NY]

13. Well I guess his topic was the Hindenburg from New Jersey.

[Vashta Nerada]

14. I laughed.

You are aware Maher is a comedian, right?

[Jenoch]

15. Telling fat jokes shows laziness

and a lack of creativity. It would be the same as telling blond jokes in reference to Hillary Clinton, or even Ann Coulter.

[Matariki]

17. Why is body fat 'funny'?

I've never understood that
