Is that guy supposed to be funny?

Bill Maher resurrected the slam against Ann Romney, saying she never got her "ass" out of the house, never had to answer to a boss, etc.

Aren't you still laughing over that one?

Maher also once called Sarah Palin a dumb c**t. And Sarah Palin got her ass out of the house every morning and ran the government of Alaska for a time, among other things.

Seems there's just no pleasing him. After all, he calls himself a comedian, so his insults and rather obtuse and blockheaded remarks are "allowed." That is, he's excused from being considered a loutish bore because he thinks he's funny.

But, hey! What about that crazy Bill Maher? He's such a dumb cock!

Aren't you laughing? Isn't that just hysterical?

Or does is it, instead, reflect an incapcity for rational -- or really any kind -- of intelligent thought? As well as demonstrating the lack of an imagination that would be required to construct a humorous comment?

No irony in Maher's comments. No unique perspective. Not even any surprise. No sense of the ridiculous. No slapstick. No puns or other wordplay, no wit or poignant insight couched in humor. In fact, no wit at all. Only name-calling and pandering to an audience who apparently only feels good about itself when it can humiliate and insult others.

Bill Maher is actually quite ugly, too, physically, and he gets uglier as he gets older, like the picture of Dorian Grey. He has no color at all anymore, looks like he's been dusted with flour. His nose gets bigger and more shapeless, tending to lend his face a striking resemblence to a manatee. At the same time, his body is deteriorating into the weak and insubstantial form of a small gray alien. And who is that bland librarian-looking person he hangs with? Sort a Tiny Fay wanna be? At least she wears the same kind of eyeglasses. Rather pathetic, no?

Maher uses his alleged "humor," it seems, to compensate for his quite obvious inadequacy as a human being. And like pornography, nothing he says has any redeeming social value.

A long time ago, he had a show called "Politically Incorrect." At the time, he claimed to be a libertarian. So I guess his producer couldn't find enough libertarian business people to buy enough ads to support him, or maybe he just wasn't such a knowledgable or convincing libertarian, didn't pass muster with the target audience. Who knows? Or cares, really.

Failing that, however, Maher has adopted the groveling and whiny politics of the left. The standards of the left in the arts are so low that Maher seems to have found a comfortable niche there. And even though the left is a bigger audience than libertarians, Maher still seems incapable of attracting a following larger than a small, select clique. Apparently he doesn't generate enough attention -- or advertisers -- to impress even the desperate programmers at MSNBC. Good heavens! More of a dud even than Keith Oberman?

Bill Maher is only insulting. Very limited market for that, but apparently you do get invited to the White House.

Isn't that funny? ROFL.

Save the Republic.
