Anyway, Jay Leno argued with him and recounted a story about his wife, Mavis, who for years had headed a charity group that was trying to help the women of Afghanistan. Leno said Mavis went to the White House to ask them to provide help for women in the post-Taliban society. He said she'd always been a liberal Democrat from a big union family who'd never supported Republicans, so she didn't think they'd even talk to her. Instead, she was ushered into a meeting with both Colin Powell and Condi Rice, who asked her what the Afghan women needed. He said she told them, and she was stunned that not only did they listen to her, but they promised to do what she suggested -- and then, they actually DID it! He made no specific reference to Clinton, but I inferred that he was saying this was a complete change from the previous administration, which would have ushered her in, listened to her, hit her up for a big campaign donation, promised to help the Afghan women, then done nothing but take her money.
Maher's response was the same response he gives to everyone who presents facts that destroy his argument: he denies that they're true. He just brushed it off, saying they probably only listened to her because she was Jay Leno's wife and Bush wanted to buy her off to keep Leno from making fun of him on TV. Yeah, I'm sure Bush is terrified of the thought that Jay Leno MIGHT start doing jokes about him! That must be headed off at all costs!
And liberals call BUSH a moron!
