In reply to the discussion: Let's Shine Some Light On The Awfulness That Is Bill Maher [View all]Guy Whitey Corngood
(26,748 posts)after the 2000 fiasco. I found a way to catch it occasionally when he moved to HBO.
I agree with him at times. Vehemently disagree other times. But some times his inner douchebag comes out.
For example. When he piled up on Jorge Ramos, with if all fucking people, Tweety (sic?). I found it pretty damn awful. For someone who shits on our awful media on a weekly basis. He seemed genuinely offended that someone had the audacity to point out how useless and complicit they were on the run up to Iraq. Then to do it with someone who exemplifies that complicity and incompetence like Matthews. Made it even worse.
The way he fawned all over this one man gay minstrel show. Was pretty lame as well. But, he can be very funny. He can be gutsy in the face of conformity as well. But I'm sure no one else could tell you how awesome and courageous he is better than himself.
