Wait til Maher gets a serious medical problem and the Death Panels tell him, “Sorry, Mr. Maher, but you’re over 55.”
...or, as time goes on, whatever age works depending on how much government money is left over after the political class gets their share.
Not sure if Maher had a brief moment of clarity or if he is just realizing that he is a useful idiot. If he takes a full turn from the dark side, it could be interesting since he is a key propagandist of the left.
