The first time I caught a few minutes of his "show" a few years back was the same day I cancelled my HBO subscription.

Not a problem for me. I agree with him in the context of the interview.

I can't stand that [bleep] grin of his or his sarcastic arrogant humor. He isn't running a comedy show...he's running a political show. Just seeing that bastid irritates the heck out of me.
Exquisitely turdlike in all of his many manifestations!!

If all decent people would drop HBO, they would can him. Rush at least apologized. Libs usually never apologize. I wish people from both sides would debate the issues and the BEST way to handle them instead of refusing to budge or listen to the other side. Dems are usually worse than Reps, but it does run both ways.

I ousted Rush many, many years ago.
Don't see the need for anyone/either of this type in my life.

When my kid brother ran a pathology lab, two of his staff were Polish engineers � brilliant fellows, both.
Polack jokes were every-day fare there, enjoyed by everyone except when one guy told 'em with obvious animosity and contempt for Poles.
That element is unmistakable, deadly, seldom really funny or even witty, too frequently neither perceived nor addressed. It should be identified and denounced by honorable people. But it's often that very element that makes derogatory jokes "funny" to some people.
"Good enough" isn't.

I'll bet you all love Dave Miller, right? (pun intended)
So do I, the guy is funny, what makes him funny is that he's a looney tunes right winger, the positions he takes on some things are ridiculous.
Maher is a looney tunes left winger, some of his positions on things are ridiculous.
The common thing they both share is that they are hitting on some degree of factual events, it's their looney and irreverent spin that makes it funny.
They are irreverent about things people take way too seriously.
If you think one is funny and the other isn't you are way too nutted up and biased.
The major difference between belief and fact is those who believe something have come to a conclusion no facts will contradict. Well informed people are open to new facts that oppose their beliefs. That also defines an open and closed mind.

Nope Maher is just a rude assshole...nothing funny about the man at all. Funny thing is I don't have cable or satellite so I don't have to see any of them There is a huge difference between comedy and being a completely rude jackass.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get beat up pretty badly now, incoming.

I would like to run into him in a dark alley. This is what I like to hear. What would happen then? Would you care to elaborate on what would happen in that dark alley? Too many just change the channel instead of changing the game.

If Maher could bring any wit to bear on any person or situation, he wouldn't have to rely solely on crude language. Even insults can be witty without filth.
Then there's the greater challenge to wit � being complimentary in a witty way without being saccharine, cloying, or smarmy. Maher could never hope to be thus.
(I set this as a life goal when I was sixteen or so. 'Tain't as easy as being nasty, but it's possible. And it's been a "fun" ride, with both satisfaction and rewards, ever since that first day sixty-five years ago!)
"Good enough" isn't.
