elf-professed liberal Bill Maher threw some surprise support behind LA candidate Spencer Pratt's mayoral run this week.
Maher, 70, repeatedly praised the reality-star-turned-politician's 'drain the swamp'-approach to politics on Monday's edition of Club Random.
He agreed that current Mayor Karen Bass and other local leaders did not do enough after last year's wildfires.
Maher also praised what he put as Pratt's 'authentic[ity]', after the latter promised to scrutinize - and address - local unions' current levels of power.
'You had me at hello,' Maher joked.
He admitted: 'I mean on so many of these things, and you just have the exact right...I didn’t know until I talked to you, honestly, today, but you have the exact right impatience with this s**t.
'It’s very authentic.'
'You know, you’re just- it’s good,' Maher went on.
He advised Pratt, while also acknowledging his rising popularity: 'Just keep doing what you’re doing - we'll see where the chips fall.'
A poll last week from Emerson College showed Pratt - a man who came to prominence on MTV's The Hills - gaining ground on Bass despite entering as an underdog in an increasingly heated race.

WHAT??
Next he’ll say he’d vote for Trump.
LOL she didnt do enough..please, she burned it down BY DESIGN..that was the plan, burn the Palisades down and put in low income housing so she can say “See I solved the housing crisis in this city” go on zillow, check out what is currently for sale in the Palisades, its majority LAND..the people there have given up, instead of rebuilding which they know they cant do too many regulations, they are putting their land on the market and selling it to whoever will pay
nothing worse than fake mayo
I don’t see any likelihood that a Republican of the very best sort can win against a Democrat of the worst sort in a major U.S. metropolitan city, especially LA.
I wish it were possible. But I don’t see it.
Maher has been on this trajectory toward Reason for quite some time. I’m quietly impressed, and perhaps even a bit hopeful about how far along that arc he’ll go. He would not be the first middling left Democrat to make the ideological march into the Conservative camp. Just the same, I won’t hold my breath.
Bill Mayer pulls my vote as much as Uranus.
Well, not quite that much.
Heranus, definitely not.
Pratt gonna win. He running a great campaign. The excitement-panic palpable.
plastic mayo
