This is the last part of Bill's "New Rules."
Beware of the very NSFW language, but be prepared to find yourself laughing at things you really don't think you should be laughing at.
For those who cannot hear the audio you can find a transcript here.
Maher's point about who REALLY supports Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, and Christine O'Donnell is DEAD ON!
O M G - That was the best laugh of my day! And, so spot on ... all the way around! Love him! Thanks for sharing ... :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I watched this last night it was one of the best Real Time. Of course my favorite artist John Legend, was icing on the cake. John will be at a rally tomorrow in Ohio with the President and First Lady, don't miss it.
ReplyDeleteBill Maher is dead on describing Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell and Michelle Bachmann's fans, they are a bunch of dirty white old men.
He's right. These white men really miss those ditzy and totally submissive 1950s housewives, wearing pearls and high heels while dusting the knick-knacks. However, given their reluctance to let women drive and work outside of the home, would they really vote for Palin for President?
ReplyDeleteOf course, they might justify it be saying that the White House is home, and she doesn't say anything or sign anything that Todd hasn't approved.
To balance the ticket, they would want a strong and experienced man from the other end of the Country, say Florida... how about Jebby?
Given Palin's track record of quitting and quitting and quitting, they could logically assume that her VP would run the government for her and then take over once she decided where to build her Presidential Library and wanted to start raising really big money.
Of course, they'd be totally surprised when she nuked half the world and started Armageddon on the advice of her Church.
that was wonderful and makes me wish i could just hbo in - we have no tv servce by choice. the country is undergoing a great deal of change demographically and in other ways in a short period of time - no wonder there is turmoil. though i look forward to antelopes and sunrises in the not too distant future!
ReplyDeleteIf he aint gettin' it at home, there is probably a reason. His romance skills are lacking just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHis wife is a fox-- he probably gets out of the shower trying to incite her womanly lustfull passions by showing her his "treasure" and she can't get away from him fast enough.
Gross!

ReplyDeleteBecause for hundreds of years white penises were America. White penises founded America, they made the rules and they called the shots in the workplace, in the home, and at the ballot box.
But now the unthinkable is happening. White penises are becoming the minority: 2010 was the first year in which more minority babies were born in the U.S. than white babies. This is what conservatives are really upset about -- that the president is black, and the best golfer is black, and the Secretary of State is a woman, and suddenly this country is way off track and needs some serious 'restoring.' If penises could cry -- and I believe they can -- then white penises are crying all over America.
And that's where this crew comes in; Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Michele Bachmann; the lovely MILFs of the new right. And their little secret is that their popularity comes exclusively from white men. Look at the polling: minorities hate them, women hate them -- only white men like them. I'm no psychiatrist, but I do own a couch, and my theory is that these women represent something those men miss dearly: the traditional, idiot housewife. Writing on your hand is sheer Lucy. If an election between Obama and Sarah Palin were held today, and only white men could vote, Sarah Palin would be president.
Gryphen,.. After seeing Bill Mahers clip last night I found this clip online.I posted it on the PG thread today. It is a perfect example of what Maher said.. and it is palins BOTS saying it.. right out of their own mouths. Are they THAT Stupid... YES.But they make a clip to prove the point?? YouTube clip labeled.." Sarah Palin Supporter Came to See How Hot Palin is In Person !!" ( watch for the Hat Guy too)Cue the " Deliverance " music.
ReplyDeleteThe CNM Network ( check out their other vids ) is like a Breitbart/O'Keefe wannabee Interviewer... BUT MUCH WORSE!c4P had a story by him once.

Look at the interviewers website/bio ( ViaReal ?)if you need a few more laughs as well. He posted some personal interviews( looked like from an empty Office cubicle-around July ) as he just talked into the video camera bashing Obama. He wore a white wife-beater T-shirt in some. In others he took the shirt completely off. Maybe he likes baseball a lot too..because he sure likes the steroids. The Dude is just strange. No wonder he loves Palin.
Maureen Dowd says it well in her column today. "We are in the era of Republican Mean Girls, grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant." http://nyti.ms/chn6EC
ReplyDeleteI also loved his compilation of Christine O'Donnell clips showing exasperated celebrity guests trying to get a word in edgewise/shut her up on his old Politically Incorrect how. Rude and crude, lookin' like she took a 'lude. Funny stuff. Scary too that she has gotten as far as she has. Maher is right about those three women and that they're only popular with white men. BTW, the actress who played their role model died yesterday. R.I.P. Barbara Billingsley.
ReplyDeleteNate Silver at 538.com has Democrats winning the Senate, 52 - 48; but losing the House, 208 - 228.
ReplyDeleteMiller listed at 73.8% chance of winning Alaska; Coons 100% chance of winning Delaware over O'Donnell; Ried 55.7% over Angle in Nevada; Boxer 86% over Fiorina in California.
Interesting article on Brett Favre, "Sexty Beast" scandal in Washington Post today:

Do we somehow hold white male athletes to higher standards, even though they have admitted numerous faults? Something to think about in the bigger picture about race and gender.
That is downright hilarious...and dead on.
ReplyDeleteBill's wrong about one thing. It's not just white men who like the dingbats. Uneducated, right wing, fundamentalist women also like them.
ReplyDeleteI will never wear Crocs again.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!! OMG I am cracking up here. Bill made so may spot-on observations that the whole thing was like the best ever op-ed column/comedy monologue.
ReplyDeleteThe best: "idiot housewives" which so captures the real allure these women have over their followers.
I love Bill Maher for being fearless and you have to be to say c*ck about 100 times in 5 minutes on national television.
I wtached Bill Maher the other night and it was really,really good. I had stopped watching but was surfing and got involved.
ReplyDeleteLiked that facts were presented and re-iterated.
Strangely, Maher's 3 MILFs all have dark hair. Is blonde rule over?
ReplyDeleteI hated that I had to follow a link to anti-liberal newsbusters blog to read the transcript.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, it's been bugging me lately why the name "newsbusters" sounded vaguely familiar to me, even though I have never seen the conservative site before now. Then I realized, it's similar to the moniker "adbusters" which is a very liberal, (even borderline socialist), anti-corporate magazine. I used to read it standing in line at Whole Foods Market, but then of course Whole Foods went corporate a long time ago so they stopped selling the magazine.
It's worth noting that the clarion call from adbusters, during the Bush Administration, is the true "take back our country" movement, not the Teabaggers, who basically stole the ideas from orgs like adbusters, moveon.org, and the Dean campaign which lit up the internet. A quote from then:
"Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power,
Because consumerism has become our national religion,
Because we've forgotten the true meaning of freedom,
And because patriotism now means agreeing with the president,
I pledge to do my duty…
and take my country back."
