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.

from wiki...Maher was born in New York City
Maybe if we’re lucky Canada will take him.
Mahar’s the comic version of Stalin...and some one give Maher some tissue.
“Take away Totus and his IQ drops a hundred points”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Wrong!!! His IQ is only two digits WITH the teleprompter.
It does seem to say a lot more about Maher than about his subject.
“Few things in life would give me greater pleasure than to beat Bill Maher to a bloody pulp with an baseball bat.”

Even at my advanced age I don’t believe I would really need the baseball bat. On the other hand you wouldn’t want to let your hands make contact with something like that, would you?
LOL! No I wouldn’t. He is an utterly tasteless, vile and angry little insect.
I have worms in a compost bin that appear to be smarter than Maher the mouth.
