It was clear to anyone roaming through the channels last week that the stupid shift was working overtime at the factory of nonsense otherwise known as the Real Time With Bill Maher show on HBO.
Billowing out from behind the orotund self-regard and convivial asskissing on the season finale was an impenetrably dense haze of idiocy, whoppers, errors and doozies, turning your own personal TV into a spillcam of pluming mistakes.
Missing in action for much of the night was the truth, chased away by the hemorrhoidal factitious rectitude that is and always will be the order of the night in the House of Maher.
In the dock: Panelists Jon Meacham of Newsweek, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," and former Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).
Joining later and adding to the general haze was the high priest of conspiracy, the fantabulist Oliver Stone, swinging his censer of malice, as mean-spirited disregard for the truth was the incense of the hour.
Many of the errors inflicted on the general population were easily avoidable, as the information is retrieved via a simple Bing or Google search. Hyperlinks provided.
From the California elections, to drilling for oil, to claims about the US military, little was left unmolested (for similar fare, see "Factchecking the President," June 2).

Maher is a joke, and not a funny one.
Why would anyone watch this idiot? Cancel your HBO subscription. That will solve the problem.
Way ahead of you. I canceled mine months ago and switched to Starz and Encore. Love the encore western channel.

I would cancel it but I have never had HBO. Every now and then we will get a free preview and the rare times I have seen Maher or however you spell that hideous creature’s name, he disgusted me to the point of promising myself to never watch HBO period.
“In the dock: Panelists Jon Meacham of Newsweek, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” and former Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).”
Pretty much S.O.P. for Maher. The conservative must always be outnumbered 3-1 (two lib guests and Maher himself), so he or she can be shouted down and ‘wolfpacked’ at every opportunity.
“Joining later and adding to the general haze was the high priest of conspiracy, the fantabulist Oliver Stone”
Ollie Stone may be the most overrated filmmaker of the last 40 years. I like a couple of his movies, but he’s put out a lot of inexplicably celebrated dreck.
