Brazil was a net exporter of oil. They've never not been a net exporter of oil.Maher: "You know, [Obama] owns this issue now, because it was only a few weeks ago that he came out for offshore drilling. I would say philosophically this is a problem many on the left have had for many years…there is no one that represents out point of view…where is the other side on this? I could certainly criticize oil companies, and I could certainly criticize America in general for not attacking this in the 70’s, I mean Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years."
Will: “I want to just get back to Bill. Can you just explain to me in what sense Brazil got off oil?”
Maher: “Uh. I believe they did. I believe in the 70's they had a program to use sugarcane ethanol, and I believe that is what fuels their country."
Will:: "I think they still burn a lot of oil and have a lot of offshore (drilling)."
Maher is an entertainer, who attempts to play the middleground for ratings. He is a schmo, a schnorrer. When Hefner died he had to find a new way to waste his time...
Democrats are afraid to go on with Maher because he’ll ask intelligent questions... and he’ll listen to the answers...
