Welcome to the newest thing that is driving the Right Wing batshit crazy at Bill Maher.


This was a video segment featured on last Friday's "Real Time with Bill Maher."

It was filmed by Alexandra Pelosi (Yes the daughter of THAT Pelosi!), who swears she did not TRY to find toothless idiots in Mississippi, she simply couldn't avoid them:

Filmmaker (and daughter of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi) Alexandra Pelosi traveled to Mississippi at the behest of Real Time with Bill Maher to film voters and get their opinions of the 2012 Republican primary. Before showing the footage, Maher explained to the audience and his panel of guests that the people in the video were not “cherry-picked” and that the intent of the video was not to make fun of anyone.

Of course that pledge not to make fun of them did not last long. Since then many on the Right Wing, have been up in arms that Pelosi and Maher had the audacity to show the average dimwitted supporter of the Republican party in such an unfortunate light. (In other words, with the lights on.)

So what was Pelosi to do, spend days driving around Mississippi looking for somebody with as full set of teeth who didn't sound like an extra from the movie "Deliverance?" Who has that kind of time?

Personally I found the video inspiring. For instance it has inspired me to NEVER go to Mississippi for any reason.

(If you are currently living in Mississippi, with a full set of teeth and more than two brain cells to rub together, I offer my sincerest apologies for lumping you together with the delightful specimens in the above video. If you still feel the need to express your displeasure please remember that "asshole" is spelled with two S's and one "hole.")
