Friday's New Rules are Maher's best yet


I've been singing Bill Maher's praises for some time now, and last night, on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher, he was at his ball-busting best during his New Rules, which he ends every show with every week.

My favorite part about this one was the very end - the total falsehoods and lies that are bumping around the Internet as "facts" when it comes to Barack Obama. Maher also strikes gold when he mentions how Republicans are bastardizing the memory of the late William F. Buckley, a reasonable yet well-spoken conservative and founder of The National Review. Buckley represents old-school conservatism, which is a trip down Sensible Street when compared to the likes of the scum that occupy most of the far right today; Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Lielly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Dr. Michael Wiener Savage among them.

I'll my own personal thoughts of the use of Barack Obama's middle name soon in a separate post.
