    Yeah, he did about a year at Comedy whatever, then jumped ship to ABC for much more money than a scrawny network that ran reruns of Live At The Improv could afford. And that is when the scrutiny came in, making him have to come up with "the big statement" every evening. The guests stopped being interesting people from all walks of life, and started being political pundits of one sort or another. Everything became "serious" all of a sudden, and not surprisingly, less insightfully entertaining.

      Of course they weren't cowards. It's just the nonsense of the media. People who get trapped down a mine are called heroes and sick idiotic fucks get called cowards whether they are or not.

          But I never cared for Bill Maher and Politically Incorrect because of the lousy choice of guests that come on that show.

                It's not that I disagree with everything Maher says. I just can't stand the arrogant smugness he says it with. I want to kick his ass. That and he's just not a good comedian. He comes off like a prick

                  He always seemed like an annoying lepricon to me. I'm tired of all these stupid political comedians. The financial and political problems right now are at such a scale we need to grow up and get to work as individuals doing something about it instead of munching junk food and watching these fools.

                    LOL, "arrogant smugness".... Hmmm, there's another group of people that this applies to, but can't put my finger on it....
