Bill Maher Sorry the Assassination Attempt on Dick Cheney Failed
2007-03-04
In 2002, ABC made the decision to not renew Bill Maher's contract after he made some disgraceful comments on his program "Politically Incorrect" concerning America's military response to 9/11. After what transpired on "Real Time" Friday, the heads of HBO should be equally outraged, if not more.

As the discussion moved to the attempted assassination of Vice President Cheney last week, Maher asked his panel why it was necessary for the Huffington Post to remove comments by readers concerning their disappointment that the attempt failed. As the conversation ensued, Maher said one of the most disgraceful and irresponsible things uttered on a major television program since Bush was elected.

#16  Hey! That's the first time (I think) I've ever had one of my comments on another article related to from a different one.

I'm famous!

Not (yet).

Thanks SR-71. That was painful to write, but I feel it's truer than ever.

#15  As far as I'm concerned, Ann Coulter is one of the few conservatives who can give it back to the libs in the manner they dish it and beat them at their own game. I've enjoyed seeing her rip those pompous bastards apart for years and I hope she lives a long life so she can keep doing it. As for Maher, flogging, revocation of citizenship and deportation to Zimbabwe would be too good for him.

#14  Maher's outrageous remarks should be enough for the DoJ to launch an investigation into Maher to make sure he has no terrorist links. To do otherwise would be imprudent.

#13  Besoeker, you been in the sand too long! My morning coffee is all over the floor! That was a classic.

I saw Ann on O Riley the other night and she made a complete ass of herself. She was ranting with no background facts, and did not know her enemy that night. She accused Darryl Hannah of not practicing what she preached about living green. Even I know she is the "living green" poster child. Darryl's reply was measured, and with a straight face she said she is not an advocate forcing everyone to live off grid but that she has been living off grid for 12 years. I howled, Ann was owned!

#12  #11 nice visual, TW. Is there a riding crop and tall leather boots involved?

I certainly wouldn't know, Frank dear. I'm not privy to your imagination.

Care to venture a guess as to why men so much enjoy women in leather? Reminds us of the smell of a brand new pickup truck of course!

#10  Maher's a myopic bung pirate of the first order. He's been boring for almost 5 yrs.

Coulter is normally more articulate - poor choice of words. I would've called Edwards a metro-sexual nancy boy - but that's just me.

#8  Well, I'm sorry nobody has assassinated Bill Maher and, yes, lefty lurkers, people do die because of the encouragement these poltroons give to the terrorist savages in Iraq and elsewhere.

It's coming. FOTSGreg nails in comment #2.

#6  No surprise about Mr. Maher; he lives for that moment of shocked response from his vastly diminished audience. Ms. Coulter,esq., however, was rude. Her comment calling John Edwards a faggot added nothing useful to the discussion, and I can only suppose there was medication involved, of the type that loosened the tight bridle she usually keeps on her tongue.

Surely Presidential Candidate Edwards has so many more pertinent faults than whether or not he fits Ms. Coulter's image of a proper man. And most assuredly Ms. Coulter has a large enough vocabulary to find a better insult in any case!

#2  Maher has been an irrelevant ass-hat for some time now. Prolly even has the Official Certificate. Being politically incorrect is one thing, being stupidly incorrect is a whole 'nother game.
