Seldom do I watch Leno or PI, but curiousity got the best of me.......so I watched. I don't know if anyone else noticed this but Maher's defense was IDENTICAL in both his show and Leno's. VERBATUM----NOT CLOSE BUT IDENTICAL! He had scripted his verbal defense.......all the way down to his stupid jokes. He failed to specifically admit EXACTLY what he said and he seemed to be running behind the freedom of speech for protection. I don't know what will be the final outcome, but what is ABC waiting for...if they were going to can him, it seems to me they would have alread? Just an observation.............

I think the idea is "Take your apology on the road. If you win back support, you have a show." Verbatim remarks mean that he was well coached and warned not to stray from the script. He looked angry that anyone misunderstood his quest for freedom but he also looked whipped and lost. I doubt that he was sorry in any way for his remarks. He is a typical peacock - proud, stupid, hiding his ugly feet (his own philosophy). When he opens his mouth, he sounds like a peacock. When my wife first heard one, she said, "What is that awful sound?" It sounded like a wild animal being killed. That is Maher's voice - raucous and loud.
