Bill Maher Last Night....The Worst I've Seen Him Do...

[GR]

I thought the panel looked bad before the show and it was...haven't seen all the show yet but here's my take on what I did see..

The Gannon stuff was good, but then Maher started talking about gender stereotyping at Harvard, approvingly, the use of prisoners' religious beliefs to torture and sexually degrade them, approvingly, the enjoyment of killing voiced by a Marine General, approvingly, narrowminded American-centrist jingoism in which he implied anyone with a culture like theirs was fucked up, approvingly and worst of all GEORGE W BUSH and how we owe him for the great elections in Iraq, approvingly....The ends don't justify the means Bill...Have you forgotten the lies to the American people used to sell that abomination...

Even the opening segment on Cristo's solution to the elderly problem was weak. I tried to think back if I'd ever seen Maher like last night and couldn't remember it. It's obvious he's "adjusting" his show to the new, improved, Bush thousand year reich....

It reminded me of what happened to Dennis Miller, once one of my favorite comedians. Could it be happening to Maher? I shudder to think if it is...
