I used to like Bill Maher. I loved him as a stand-up comic. He was witty, funny, and very entertaining. As his star began to fall, he decided to go the political route. I enjoyed his show Politically Incorrect and found that it was balanced with guests that were on both sides of the aisle. His libertarian leaning was interesting. His bashing of GW has been over the top for a while and we accept that that is the way of the MSM world these days. GW can take it. To a degree, I think that whoever was in office would suffer some abuse, not as much as the hatred that GW endures, but it would be plenty none the less.

Well, the Prince Consort and I get HBO and we saw Bill Maher's latest show on Saturday night. I have to say the only reason we tuned in is because we love Christopher Hitchens. We will watch anything Hitch is on. Bill went into bashing mode with fake picture props fresh off his color printer. He went on with a National Enquire story how GW has fallen off the wagon. They were all pretty stupid and I didn't have a problem until he showed a Photoshopped picture of First Lady Laura Bush with a black eye... This is supposed to be funny? Domestic Abuse is funny? Making light of women who have been beaten is funny? This is the lowest of low...

Come on N.O.W., let's get your squeaky wheels rolling. Let's hear your outrage... Or does making a media firestorm against one who makes sport of an abused woman's plight only apply to insults against Democrats?

Stay cool and safe... and Bill, the closest you could even come to being of Laura Bush's class is being her toe jam...
