  • How hard is Maher having to bite his tongue?
    Better call the ER and get a suture team ready to sew it back on.

  • Yep, they finally got deeper into his wallet than he ever anticipated. Guess his show will get canceled if he keeps it up. Fu** him and feed him fish heads.

  • I doubt he'll ever "come over" all the way, and this was hardly an endorsement of either Bush or the war, but it IS pleasant to see cracks in the dam!

  • It happens occasionally. These self-proclaimed geniuses get slapped up side the head with the truth and realize the only people they were fooling were themselves.
    Thanks for posting this - a liberal whose synapses have clicked a revelation of common sense IS news.

  • Nothing more zealous than a late in life convert, next thing you know he will be endorsing Allen West.

  • As a conservative who is sick of his vitriol directed at many of my lines of thinking, I'd like him to not move to the right. He won't anyway but I would prefer he just sit in LA knowing he's been lied to, used, and regarded as a useful idiot. That is a form of social justice I can get behind.
