Yeah, even Rush was bending over to give Maher a pass. I don't understand it except to think that it must be a case of the "entertainment" show host defending one of their own. You have to realize that these guys take a particular position not based on personal principles, but do so so that they can earn a buck. It is not much more than a game with them and they don't even take themselves seriously. Maher of course, is just plain rude and obnoxious and lacking in talent. He isn't particularly smart or even funny either. I wrote to all the sponsors of the PI show and asked to withdraw their support simply because Maher and his show are a real waste of time.
