Crazy Bill Maher: Cheney More Psychotic Than Weiner Because He Shot Birds

COOPER: Do you think he [Anthony Weiner] should resign?

MAHER: At this point, yes. Not because I think he did anything so incredibly awful. I mean, Dick Cheney used to go out and shoot birds by the hundreds that were like in a cage. To me, that’s a lot more psychotic than anything Anthony Weiner ever did. But the point is this is America. We have to live in reality.

COOPER: Dick Cheney wasn’t shooting birds in a cage. He was hunting.

MAHER: He was not hunting, Anderson. There’s a difference between hunting which, I’m not a big fan of either, and when you go out into this controlled situation where they — I forget what they do to the birds but they do something where they can’t fly. It’s the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. And yes, look it up. That’s what he did. He shot and killed an incredible number of birds for absolutely no reason than a blood lust.

Thanks again. I did not know that.

I'm sure there is a gamecock joke in there somewhere.

I don’t think raging atheist porn stars get to vote on what is sane and insane. Bill is soulless.

Stocked means the birds were raised in flight pens and put out to hunt.

Thanks, BobinIL, I had visions of them all in a crowded cage, and as the hunters get near they're released.

Maher is a blithering idiot. Cheney duck hunts in cental Arkansas near Stuttgart (my wife grew up 20 miles north in Hazen) and they don’t have to fake the hunt or monkey with the animals.

During duck season it doesn’t take a genius to get one. Which is why Maher would starve.
