I just love Bill Maher.

IMO, he usually hits the nail smack on the head.....just as he did in that clip.

Something that takes very little comedic prowess to do these days, no matter the political side one is on. His tag line should be "I bust myself up, no... really"

And he (Limbaugh) apologized for his poor choice of words. Has Maher ever apologized for going too far? He is a professed athiest who attacks Christianity like it's going out of style. If anyone did that to the Muslim faith they'd do a Swedish cartoonist in a hurry. So, he is selective about who he attacks because he's also a coward with moving standards.

Not necessarily. Sometimes the targeted folks make it way too easy, however. You could simply quote them, and it makes for an amusement.

Something that everyone seems to skip over is the fact that men also enjoy the benefits of having their SO on the pill.

For the women who use the Pill only for contraception, men are also enjoying the benefit.....with none of the health risks or costs of taking the Pill. So why are so many men against it?

Cut off your nose to smite your face much?

And another FACT a lot of people seem to be missing, providing the Pill will be exptremely cost effective from a business stand point. The cost of the pill is miniscule compared to the cost of pregnancy and childbirth. This mandate will SAVE HEALTH INSURANCE COMANYS MONEY in the long run.

It is a win, win, win mandate for everyone involved.

It is a win for women, it is a win for men, it is a win for the insurance companys and their customers.

Actually, he's been very harsh on Islam. I, as well as others, have posted those links ad nauseum.

I just love how people spout this stuff about Maher and yet know NOTHING of what the man says in his show. At least I have listened to Rush Limbaugh many, many times so I know what I'm critiquing.

I've watched his show many times. Maybe I'm just lucky enough to catch him saying the same thing...again, and again. I suppose if I were to watch his show religiously I'd understand him. Some people are better left with a small audience.
