Maher & Friess

Now that Bill Maher is a $1M donor to the Obama SuperPAC, surely the President will be held accountable for all Maher’s repulsive “jokes” in the same way Rick Santorum was pilloried by the media for Foster Friess’, right?

Maher & Friess 
By Asher Embry

I never will repeat the words that leave Bill Maher’s lips;
But surely we agree Barack now owns those putrid quips.
If not (and don’t expect it), it would clearly seem to be
Another in the endless line of Press hypocrisy.
Not saying we should punish people for the things they say,
But dream the Press will fairly treat Conservatives one day.

Who is Bill Maher?

Me too, Grammy S, I am livid. The Friess joke was one I remember from my HS days in the mid sixties. An innocent joke in the days of the brand new birth control pill. I was a Catholic HS girl, and didn't get it right away. Holding your knees together was mandatory for me in that era, to be followed by the "Free Love/Lust" era.

No dirty joke, no heavy handed preaching, just a silly joke. Certainly nothing on a par with the new money-man behind BHO, filthy Billy Maher. If I get inspired, I will begin to write to my local papers challenging them to hold the banner as high for the Dem. supporters as they do for the GOP. And then I'll hold my breath. Or not.

Bill mahar is a frustrated eunich. He thinks he's some sort of libertarian because he remarked once or twice on politically Incorrect that men were becoming emasculated. Other than that it was pretty much run of the mill super-liberealism. Any time someone says they are not liberals but libertarians, note their demeanor when discussing politics. If they criticize liberals a little bit but save the extreme vitriol for conservatives you probably have a liberal who is too gutless to admit it so they tell themselves that they are too sophisticated to be considered a standard leftist. George Carlin was another who would take a little shot at Democrats and other liberals but would have spittle dribbling from his mouth as he savaged GWB or other conservatives.

Just think, and Ann Coulter got to know this clown, real, real well.

And some wonder what happened to Ann Coulter.

Will Obama be tied to Bill Maher's jokes ?
Crickets chirping.
More Crickets.
Far in the distance a train whistle mournfully blows.
A frog croaks.
Crickets chirping.
The MSM sleeps peacefully.

Who will be the first MSM reporter to shove a microphone in BHO's face the next time Bill Maher says something totally crude about sex or birthcontrol, and ask the POTUS to explain it, like the FOX sychophants boldly asked Rick Santorum after the Friess remark? Who, I ask you? No one, that's who. Pathetic.

Russell| 2.24.12 @ 10:18PM

I think that I shall never see
A poet worse than Ash Embry
Who by praising dim Santorum
Has added me to Maher's quorum

albert constantine jr.| 2.24.12 @ 11:43PM

I hope that I won’t have to tussle
With the poster known as Russell
As he tries to get a quorum
So that he can trash Santorum
Asher mocked the pundit Maher
Which to me seems awful fair
Maher goes on H B O
Praising POTUS B H O
Those of us who know the score
Don’t have to review what for
In the end please mark this quote
No one here needs your fake vote
