Bill Maher on Bush

Oh, how I love Bill Maher.

------------------------------

BILL MAHER's CLOSE ON HIS SHOW:

"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend-you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.

"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.

"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a sh!tty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.

"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.

"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

Mildly funny on the surface but really hatefull rubbish based on questionable facts(lies) and convenient stereotypes.

(It's Political Satire, and FAR less HATEFUL than Rush 'Chelsea the family Dog' Limbaugh was to Clinton)

I watch his show on HBO. I Like it sometimes, sometimes i dont, but usually it is very funny. One thing I dont like is the fact that it is usually Mahar, 2 libs and 1 coservative. He should have 2 and 2 plus himself at least. Most nights it becomes 3 ripping on 1, not to mention the audience (sitting to the LEFT of the stage no doubt). Some Nights i do feel sorry for the ONE, trying to take on an entire studio. (Some Night though I LOVE it....lol)

I'm also a Bill Maher fan and love his show. He has a pretty funny HBO special that they have been running lately as well.

If I'm not mistaken, Kurt Vonnegut is supposed to be a guest this week. That should be interesting.

It's interesting how the climate seems to have changed regarding criticism of the president and his administration. I seem to remember, in the past, Maher and even the Dixie Chicks being slammed for saying something negative about him.

Change is good.
