And he didn't make a joke, it was a statement, "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2000 miles away, that's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, not cowardly."

Welp, MAHER took a lousy shot at COLBERT in tonight's "Overtime". [View all] UTUSN Aug 23 OP

meh. marble falls Aug 23 #1

Well, at least my trouble in the topic got this far without dueling - so far (none, going to bed). UTUSN Aug 23 #2

As you pointed out: Maher is not well liked here and for good reason. The world doesn't need another ... marble falls Aug 23 #3

I've given my take on the MAHER thing many times, not doing it now. Nighty nite. UTUSN Aug 23 #4

Oddly enough, I was referring to your opinion of Maher not arguing for or against it. Weak tea tonight, my friend! marble falls Aug 23 #7

When I saw Bill Maher's name, I knew it was BS. walkingman Aug 23 #5

So why not skip it? - am tearing myself away! UTUSN Aug 23 #6

I don't watch Maher - I was referring to the post. Not sure of the point? walkingman Aug 23 #8

I think the shot was at trump for any influence on firing. Colbert will do well. Silent Type Aug 23 #9

Hmm. Looks like Maher wasn't invited to SA flamingdem Aug 23 #10

I think he's Jewish (even though atheist). Jews are not allowed in KSA. Coventina Aug 23 #11

He's technically half Jewish, but was raised Catholic JoseBalow Aug 23 #12

Well, the rabid anti-Jewish regime would still count that as being Jewish. Coventina Aug 23 #13

Wow. That's shocking flamingdem Aug 23 #16

People with Israeli passports cannot visit Saudi Arabia. Jews may travel there but cannot practice their religion WhiskeyGrinder Aug 23 #17

Bruni: It's not about politics, about getting paid a lot. Maher: "Maybe Colbert could get a job over there." betsuni Aug 23 #14

I specified my having seen MAHER-COLBERT clashes, and adding here MAHER's *stated* personal animosity. UTUSN Aug 23 #22

You're right that Maher loves to whine SocialDemocrat61 Aug 23 #27

This Bill Maher? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 23 #15

He's got a lot of nerve. IL Dem Aug 23 #18

It's called being a jerk SocialDemocrat61 Aug 23 #19

My mistake. IL Dem Aug 23 #20

Thank you. That's why it's *personal*. UTUSN Aug 23 #23

And we should pay attention to the comments of a trump whore like Maher...why? (nt) Paladin Aug 23 #21

Not every topic is meant for everybody. I skip tons.. UTUSN Aug 23 #24

I skip plenty, as well. Paladin Aug 23 #30

I think a few of my pro-cons about him are in my journal and I'm tired of repeating the nuances. UTUSN Aug 23 #32

Yep themaguffin Aug 24 #33

Fuck Bill Maher Prairie Gates Aug 23 #25

Hah! See ya in next week's announcement of guests! UTUSN Aug 23 #26

Never fails! True Dough Aug 23 #28

Repeating what Maher says is the sin. Sneederbunk Aug 23 #29
