Bill Maher took another swipe at President Obama when he appeared on Jay Leno’s show on Friday.
The comic was appearing on one of the last Primetime shows in current form. From February 12, the show will air at 11.35, not 10pm.
Maher said the president’s new populist tone worried him. “He’s not a populist,” Maher told his host, “he’s an elitist, that’s what I like about him – he’s smarter than the rest of us.”
Maher criticized Obama’s trip around the country where he is taking on the middle class concerns about jobs. “He’s demanding to see his own birth certificate!” he laughed, continuing: “I just don’t want to see him start bowling again. Remember that, when he hit a 37? Anne Coulter offered to lend him one of her balls.”
He complained the Democrats were cowardly, though he singled John Edwards out for ironic praise. “They are so impotent – not John Edwards, of course – they’re so pathetic.”
“They couldn’t sell healthcare. This is something that the American people wanted. This is something that would save lives, save money. And they couldn’t even sell that. “They couldn’t sell a cubscout to a pedophile,” he added.
Maher praised Obama’s State of the Union address, saying he liked his attack on the Supreme Court’s decision to allow unlimited corporate funding of political campaigns. “People say why is the system broken ... I’ll tell you why, money,” Maher asserted. “It’s exactly this kind of stuff, money. There’s too much money in the system. Everything works backwards.
"If the first primary was in Vermont we would be putting maple syrup in our cars.”
Maher also teased Leno about the recent furore between his show and that of Irish American frontman Conan O’Brien.
“When this show went on the air, liberals were still behind Obama, Tiger Woods was still a role model, and having something exploding in your underpants was a good thing,” Maher joked.
“Now you can’t argue with me, now that you’re Mr. Vulnerable,” he later said.
Clasping Leno’s hand, he said, “You’re holding up so well, Jay. Isn’t he holding up well?”
NBC recently switched Leno’s Prime Time show to a later slot, and in response O’Brien left the network.
Not this 2,700 page health care monstrosity.
Americans want tort reform, the ability to buy insurance across state lines etc etc, not some health care bill that puts Americans in jail because they don't want to join some crap government ponzi government health care scheme.
” This is something that would save lives, save money.”
Wrong!
0bamacare would lead to more deaths, cost more money, and lead to bigger deficits.
” And they couldn’t even sell that. “
Because it stank to high heaven.
I don’t think that he is smarter than me. I know how many states there are in the union. I can find my birth certificate.
Good point. I didn't hear his entire statement so I didn't know he was referring to a medic. I thought he was referring to someone who is in the Marine Corps.
In which case that person would be referred to as a Marine.
“They couldn’t sell a cubscout to a pedophile”
Sounds like a ‘takes one to know one’ situation.
Ahh, Squids. A lower form of Marine life. /Humor off
“he’s an elitist, that’s what I like about him – he’s smarter than the rest of us.”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I will agree that Obama is likely smarter than Maher.
No medical for you!
Gee and my TV supplier wonders why I don't NEED HBO ...
Right, Bill.....because the whole ethanol thing has been such a huge success.
They could have had this done by July 4, 2009 if they could.
Maher is vicious, not funny. Its a testimony to Leno’s character that he continues to put that klutz on the tube.
HE IS DUMB!
“”Maher told his host, “Obama’s an elitist, that’s what I like about him – he’s smarter than the rest of us.” “”
I was feeling pretty good about myself until I read that. If I are more dumber than obummer and he is the most smartest then I think we are screwed.
maher’s one creepy little sh*t...
The cubscout analogy is repulsive. Some things should not be the subject of humor. We don’t joke about the Holocaust, we don’t joke about child molestation or abuse.
Maher needs to be fired for that disgusting comment! What network employs this Cretan, anyway?
Obama may have a good base IQ but his education and experience history is very limited and narrow. He was raised and educated by marxists and his life experience is strictly urban, he doesn’t have enough common sense to pour piss out of a boot!
