Bill Maher's closing one night recently (this was sent to me via e-mail without a source, so I can't post a URL for it):

*******************************************

"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more
money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war
because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term
has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your
Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to
you. Mission accomplished.

"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk
away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the
baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How
about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many
other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't.
I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela.
Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the
church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.

"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern
like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you
haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man.
Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire
city to rising water and snakes.

"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New
Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this
country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the
other side.

"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

Seems to me like Bill hit the nail on the head. :clap:

Bill Maher is great. Over the Summer on vacation, the TV and HBO and he was doing standup. Hillarious stuff. :clap:

Wait a minute, greyfox, Bill Maher isn't so great. He has said some awful and hideous crap about AL GORE. I have no respect for anyone, even if it's a joke that say anything against PRESIDENT AL GORE. No humor in it whatsoever. When Maher said something like "What will it take to kill AL GORE," I knew Maher was someone on my enemy list. My real feelings for him, is langauge I won't use here.

Very true AGIML. I like Maher but he was a big Nader supporter in 2000 and one of the first people to say 'get over it' about the selection of Bush.

I disagree with a deal of what he says, but my life has enough stress to play cards when it comes to entertainment. He creates humor that makes me laugh. I watch it. The real enemies are republicans in Washington.
