HBO host and political analyst Bill Maher, who two years ago said Christians suffer from a neurological disorder that "stops people from thinking," last night unleashed a scorching tirade of insults on President Bush, calling him a rube, dolt, vain half-wit and "a Gilligan who cannot find his a--."
"I think the science is in on this question," Maher said on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
"The people who were defending [Bush] were saying, 'Well, he's just inarticulate.' But inarticulate doesn't explain foreign policy. I mean it's not that complicated. The man is a rube. He is a dolt. He is a yokel on the world stage. He is a Gilligan who cannot find his a-- for two hands. He is a vain half-wit who interrupts one incoherent sentence with another incoherent sentence [audience cheers and applause]. And I hope I'm not piling on."
The host of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," wasted no time flaying the president, going into attack mode early in Leno's interview.

"Political comedy is effective in inverse proportion the competence of the leader," Maher explained. "In other words, the bigger the fool, the easier for us. And this man, come on, let's get real. I mean, [MSNBC host] Joe Scarborough did a whole week of panel discussions on whether he was an idiot. And when you've lost 'Scarborough Country' ... ."
Leno joked that Maher actually voted for Bush in the last election.
"The alternative actually would have been a better president both times," Maher said. "Al Gore would have been a better president. John Kerry would have been not because they're Democrats, [but] because they read! They're readers. Ooh, what a concept."
At one point, Maher spewed his venom for both major political parties.

He sure has made alot of money doing what he's doing. Makes me sick....
Typical sensitive, compassionate, tolerant liberal...
Bill Maher is an evil garden gnome. It sickens me that anyone finds him humorous. I refuse to watch anything he is on.
A political analyst?! Paaleeeese....
I can only imagine what he would have said had Bush not personally voided the Bill of Rights a few years ago; especially that pesky First Amendment.

Typical arrogant hollywood elitist.
I am sure he would sell his grandmother down the river for a few bucks or some ratings...
His ratings must be in a downward trend. Time to begin inflammatory rhetoric for a quarter or two.
Bush has enough sense not to date a transvestite like Maher did and an ugly one at that.
I will not watch him. I don't even know if he believes his own bile that he spews. He just makes sure he sits back and says the most outrageous things possible. Thats what pays his salary.
I have no idea why anyone would listen to him. He is just a profane, evil man who lacks wisdom.
Next he'll say he's a victim of the right wing, like the Dixie Chicks.
It's LENO who should be held accountable for booking this repugnant mental midget on his show.
Is he still alive? Didn't know that. Thanks for the update.
I remember one episode where Christopher Hitchens blasted Maher over this.
Bill Maher = BM = Bowel Movement.

Comedian Bill Maher, best known as the host of the Politically Incorrect television show (and currently host of HBO's Real Time) was hit today with a $9 million breach of contract suit by his "ex-girlfriend," Coco Johnsen. a model and former flight attendant.
Johnsen (with Maher, at left) says that she gave up her 12-year career as a flight attendant at Delta Air Lines after Maher promised to marry her and buy her a home formerly owned by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
She began her relationship with Maher in 2003, and says that Maher convinced her to relinquish her career to "devote herself full time to him and his career." Johnson, who is black, also says that Maher made "insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments" about her.
