Bill Maher, this job can't be fun for you anymore. You get bounced from station to station, alienating viewers with your spiteful and venomous worldview. It's over, man. You claim to be politically incorrect and yet your irreverence is only in service of PC. There's no more laughs to be had, and you certainly aren't changing any minds with your attempt at analysis. The dog won't hunt, Bill. Get out of show business, or whatever it is that you do. Walk away before public apathy destroys you. You will be fired again, Bill. Get out on your own terms and settle for pity appearances on Leno and Letterman.

Bill, you tell jokes like Maureen Dowd dates. Your show is so bad it's a wonder you don't parody yourself. You are a debacle that prances like Oberon. Chevy Chase was a lousy talk show host, but even he didn't rest his entire schtick on using national disasters as fodder for failed attempts at humorous political commentary.

So, Maher, the fact that no one's laughing should tell you something. Take the hint.

Hmmm, this just might work. It's has more depth than a simple F.O. but, then again, what's the point? You can only bash your head against the wall so many times before you have to find another hobby.

Maher was the worst standup comedian I've ever seen. Many lefty comics were/are great (Bill Hicks for example), but Maher was a total zero at that craft. Bad jokes, bad timing, bad presence.
