Bill Maher is not an intellectual. He's a failed actor and comedian whose most noteworthy achievement prior to re-inventing himself as a social gadfly and talk-show host was a starring role in "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1989). Safely ensconced on HBO, Maher utters his idiotic pronouncements completely free of the dreaded Nielsen ratings that would surely consign him to oblivion on network TV.

p>In the future, please don't insult the memory of real traitors like Alger Hiss by comparing them to Bill Maher. Hiss was the genuine article, a true dyed-in-the-wool, Harvard-educated elitist snob who sold out his country to Communists in Moscow. By comparison, Bill Maher is merely a pretender, an intellectual lightweight with a big mouth and an undeservedly large ego. In short, Bill Maher is a moron. br> -- Gavin Valle br> Peapack, New Jersey /p>

What I find most curious about Obama's supporters, liberals, and their media sycophants these days is their utter indignation when examining the results or critiques of liberal policies. Like American Idol contestants, Obama and his supporters want on the "fast track" to that alleged easy utopian-life. They want to be instantly vetted, rather than filling out applications, polishing the resume, and otherwise going down similar roads that all others must tread to gain experience, develop a method of survival, and earn their keep.

p>Since these Idol elitists think that; "we are what we have been waiting for." All those elitist Idol-Americans demand that we; read the liner notes, look at the pretty posed pictures, and view the edited video footage but GOD FORBID; don't listen to the music on that record. br> --
