...The truth is that "Politically Incorrect" lasted longer than it deserved. And, in the wake of the Sept. 11 murders, Maher's style of cynical mocking, sophomoric sex-talk and knee-jerk America-bashing was destined to die on the vine no matter what, because it's inappropriate, dated and boring just like the title of the show. Does he really deserve to be canned because of this specific remark? Probably not, but why get caught up in the details?

Like I posted when this whole flap was being debated here on FreeRepublic, Maher is a has-been. He's no longer cool. His mean-spirited malicious jabs (like wishing Kathleen Harris' murder, calling Clinton's women 'pieces of tail' and lying sluts, calling Bush a 'lying sack of $hit') at conservatives brought this on him. Not just his stupid, thoughtless remarks about the hijacker-murderers not being cowards. Duh. The opposite of coward is hero. Does that make the terrorist-murderers' act heroic? Maher was aligning himself with those stupid Palestinians and other Muslim nutcases. It sure sounded like that to me.

As for the Clinton Administration's cowardly bombing of a couple of empty camps and an aspirin factory on the eve of Monica Lewinsky's testimony to the grand jury, Maher refuses to admit that his horney, cowardly, women-degrading hero, Bubba gave the final order without congressional approval. Like his hero who he fails to even name as Commander-in-Chief at that time, Maher tried to pin the blame of the equivalent "sending a 2 million dollar missle into a 10 dollar tent and hitting a camel in the butt" on the Republican-controlled Congress. I am glad that Maher is getting what he deserves. He is a women-degrading, intolerant creep. His humor is out. I find sweet justice in that. There's nothing a Hollywood-type finds more distressing than to discover that he is no longer hip or in.
