Is it lazy to just use a bunch of Bill Maher quotes to fill up this article? Sure, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth reading. The man is better than any other political commentator on the planet, and appropriate respect should be paid now before the rightwing eventually runs him off the air…
“This past week, Newark New Jersey mayor Corey Booker ran into a burning building and rescued a woman from the fire, or as Fox News reports it ‘Black man loots house, kidnaps woman…..Of course, Mayor Booker isn’t the only New Jersey politician to do this, Governor Chris Christie once ran into a burning steakhouse to save a hundred dollars worth of ribs, but then couldn’t fit through the window on his way back out.”
“George Zimmerman was finally arrested for shooting Trayvon Martin, thus sending a definitive message that if you shoot a black kid in Florida they arrest you sometime in the first two months…Of course, in Florida they arrest people in alphabetical order.”
“Instead of spending all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with the NFL draft so you can see who your favorite teams pick live, just tell your wife and kids you hate them.”
“Sarah Palin commented on the secret service agent who posted that he had a little bit of a crush on her on his Facebook page. She said that people check her out all the time, and always whisper ‘Wow, what an ass.'”
And of course “The Secret Service scandal all got started when the guy thought he was paying her 30 dollars but she said she wanted 800 dollars. Now that sounds like a lot, but in her defense, she’s paying a higher tax rate than Mitt Romney.”
