Agreed. Bill Maher is a total douche. He can't help himself being a douche. And it's long since it stopped being funny. It wasn't even just whining about his fecking un-nominated douche-fest of a film (granted I haven't seen it, but if it's Bill Maher and he believes in it, it's a douche-fest), he couldn't help taking an open crack at religion while he was at it. I didn't even know about prior whining, and I still thought it was pretty douche-y.

Yay for the pointless religion swipes!

But I find odd the assumption that his comments were unscripted. Pretty much everything said by someone not holding an Oscar in their hands is pre-written. His comments weren't funny (or insightful) but that may not be entirely his fault.
