Bill Maher wants President Obama to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell” regulations just to drive the right wing crazy.
But who are we to paraphrase Maher’s brilliance. Let’s have him explain it in his own words:
“Because here’s the thing about today’s conservatives: They’re not bright. They can’t keep a lot of ideas in their head at once. And by ‘a lot’ I mean ‘two.’ If we can get them all worked up about fighting the gay menace, it will siphon away all that crazy, right wing, town-hall energy from all the other big issues they’ve been fighting.”
Then Bill went what we politely refer to as totally off the deep end.
“Health care and the environment are complicated, but it’s not hard to keep track of the places that God allows you to put your pee-pee. I mean, you can count those places on one hand. And that hand isn’t something you should be using either. A year ago, if you had asked your average wing-nut neighbor what he thought about health care reform, he would have shrugged his shoulders and gone right back to eating his Moon Pie. But he’s pissed-off about it now, why? Because it’s in their nature to be pissed-off. They have a pre-existing condition called the Conniption Fits. The tea-baggers have taught us all an important lesson in modern politics: If you want to be taken seriously, act like a fucking loony-tune.”
Under the circumstances, Bill, we take you very, very seriously.
