So last week, when I said...
Don't forget to thank @billmaher for continuing to prop up Ann Coulter's career long after it should have collapsed under the weight of its own bullshit and bile.— driftglass (@Mr_Electrico) January 20, 2019
...you can be bet the rent money that I was neither shocked nor surprised to see that Maher once again pulled the HBO chair out for Coulter last night.
Because Bill Maher is not your friend.TONIGHT: @BillMaher will be LIVE on @HBO with @AnnCoulter @fakeDanSavage @HMcGhee @JoshuaGreen + former U.S. Ambassador to Russia @McFaul! Tag your questions with #RTOvertime and watch them answer after the show on @YouTube. https://t.co/vd3VVCyqQD pic.twitter.com/zKtqGBMxuZ— Real Time (@RealTimers) January 25, 2019
Bill Maher is a carnival barker.
Bill Maher is 1980s Geraldo without the porn-mustache.
And of you haven't figured that out yet, you never will.
Behold, a Tip Jar!

Maher's comedy routine has been stale for some time and like Jerry Seinfeld, Maher refuses to change his schtick. So what's a supposed liberal comedian to do? Book the queen of plagiarism whom he's slept with on his show to enrage the audience while also getting shock-value ratings.
Beyond the regurgitated Frank Luntz inspired racist rhetoric, Coulter is nothing more than a modern day Andy Kaufmann in drag punking us all.
Without Maher, Coulter still publishes "best selling" books and still has a column in your paper.
"Because Bill Maher is not your friend."
Bravo driftglass. I've been pointing that out to other liberal minds for a while now.
And he HATES Stan Lee..... Just saying.
What a macabre clip. Sort of thing you would be ashamed to have the Martians watch. Reminds me of W mocking Karla Faye Tucker, begging for her life. Some people have such a sense of humor. The two folks laughing the most are little Bill and Ann.
@Rusty White. Odds are the "slept with" should not have been past tense. Props to Coulter's surgeon, though, because between the botox and whatever other work she's had done she was looking better than she did a few years ago.
Maher has a pimped quite a few questionable characters and in the process given them credibility they did not deserve. Remember the crazy lady from Maryland? Carnival barker is a good description.
I'm so old I can remember there was a time when Bill Maher was funny, but I can't remember when it was. It's been many years since he turned mean-spirited and right-wing.
It also gets old that every time she's on his show he always finds a way to signal that he's 'tapped that'.
Bill's introduction of Adam's Apple Ann.
" She works behind the sciences with the Senate Judiciary Committee and in front of the cameras for MSNBC".
Working for the GOP senate judiciary? Paid or one of those sex interns?
Was Adam's apple Ann a PAID commentator/annalist for the MSNBC or just a propped up popular face to have on to present GOP positions , like they do so much.
I am sure religious author is in her title after "Godless". Which was everything that did not pronounce it was republican.
I took a bet from a republican I worked with to read one of her books. He was so infatuated (sexually at a distance ) with her that he ran around promoting her. In exchange for reading the book he has to do the same. And, we got to question one another to verify their reading.
Out of many criticisms I had of the book. The one I recall that stuck out was her foot noting on pages.
Where she would state something in Chpt. 1. As you got further in the book to like Chapt 4.. Where you look down to her source for her statement backing resource. The foot note refereed you back to Chapt. 1 aa and her own (opinion) statement as the end all truth reference.
She does a lot of trashing and bashing of others and seems to want to make a case MORE so about hating others that disagree with her positions than dealing with the issues.
Never again will I self loathe myself like that again.
I haven't gave Maher my viewing when he does this. Bill is using Fanatic hyper-boil personality to elevate him just as much as she does to him.
@Nan, as a Marylander, I'm curious. Who was the crazy lady from Maryland?
@Nan: "between the botox and whatever other work she's had done she was looking better than she did a few years ago." Better than the walking corpse of Kellyanne Conjob, certainly. Still worse than Takara Lionel or whatever her name is, though. (Our host may have noticed political twitter doing the same sort of things to that particular pundit's name that fandom twitter does to the guy who played Sherlock and that Marvel character with the mustache, Blubberbutt Thundercats if memory serves me right.)
@Leo Knight: I think her name was and is Christine O'Donnell. If (again) my memory serves me correctly, she's the one who felt it necessary to announce, in one of her campaign ads, that she wasn't a witch.

I shamefully admit that I can be slow to identify a pattern. This is an embarrassing weakness for an IT professional.
When I noticed Maher dropping racial slurs in his HBO show, I caught up.
I've never ever found Maher particularly funny. He's always self-identified as a Libertarian, whatever the fuck that means. Mainly it means self-absorbed, selfish, rich white assholes who thinks being a so-called "Libertarian" makes them cooler than just going full honky racist sexist homophobic Republican, which would actually be more honest. Screw that noise.
I won't sully my beautful mind watching Maher suck up to the likes of the Coultergeist, who truly is one of the WORST sentient entities out there, especially as we've all witnessed that we might as well call her "President" Coultergiest, since, clearly, Trump is more afraid of her than Nancy Pelosi.
Naturally suck up extrodinnaire Maher had the Coultergeist on his show ...lamely trying to prove how "edgy" he is or something, plus as someone, above, said indicating how, ummmm, he's some sort of sexy beast or something because he - ewww ick barf vomit - tapped her. YUCK! Brain bleach, please.
Maher can go fuck himself sideways.
Correction: it's fandom Tumblr that refuses to call Backitup Thundermunch by his right name. As always, we apologize for any convenience this may cause.
@Neo Tuxedo, I had a feeling Nan was referring to Ms. McDonnell. Alas, although I wish Maryland could claim that entertaining loon, she belongs to Delaware. But if you think about it, Delaware isn't really a state, just a glorified county. That's why people mistake it for Maryland.
