Bill Maher Is Back Folks!


Bill Maher is back folks and he's proving to be just annoying in his 8th season on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher.
Bill Maher is a comedian so let's get that straight right from the start. He is not a political analyst but would like everyone to believe he is.
Fans of Maher watched him countdown the days until Bush left office and his way-to-eager cheers to get Barack Obama (aka the Auto Czar) in office. He cheered Obama, he was his best promoter.
Well folks, now that Bill Maher is back we got to hear him make fun of the Olympics in Vancouver and the hard-working athletes that perform there. As for his thoughts on Obama? Apparently he is not a supporter anymore and cited of Obama, "Instead of yes we can, it's more of possibly we might."
Geez Bill! And of Obama's State of the Union address, which Bill says was "way too long," he complained the only other Black man to put so many people to sleep besides Obama was Dr. Conrad Murray (Michael Jackson's doc). Jeers here Bill!
This clearly democratic comedian cheers for what he believes in only as long as he gets laughs or, Bill simply just changes his mind. His support of Obama is in the toilet and of Obama's stimulus package he said, "the only one who got a new job was Jay Leno."
Make up your mind here Bill. Be a comedian and admit that, don't be a political analyst through "opinions." Sure you can read all the White House and Washington DC news you want (if you do in fact read), but that my friend makes you no more than the rest of us, other than the comedian aspect of your life.
Bill's show is always full of political figures with an honest to goodness celebrity on each panel just to keep fans tuning in.
I'm no fan of Sarah Palin but to tell his audience that Palin has been hired to do commentary on the FOX network and then saying, "this will be easy for her, it will be like talking to her retard baby." Here again, not only is Palin insulted (which I guess is OK), but to insult her son and FOX viewers, shame on you Bill. He loves to insult people that don't watch his show on HBO! Get a life Bill, not everyone agrees with you.
I'm sure the 8th season will bring more of my absolutely favorite guests, especially the ever-annoying and drunk Christopher Hitchens who may be a US Citizen now but most of us would really rather see him back in England where he belongs.....sitting in pubs and complaining all day.
For now though folks, Bill Maher is back and while I find some of his stuff funny, he needs to remember he's just an HBO comedian that gets ratings. He's no Anderson Cooper or Steve Kroft, he's no political analyst and ya know what Bill, your star won't shine forever on HBO, so I wouldn't really be making fun of FOX. Who knows? You might end up on that network someday.
