In reply to the discussion: 'West Wing' Star's Wife Unloads on Bill Maher for Attacking Him [View all]LisaM
(29,594 posts)40. He's been irrelevant since he gave Ann Coulter a platform.
I can't remember ever liking him, but way back when his show was new he had her on a lot and treated her like a legitimate pundit.
We got subscription tickets one year to a series that included people like Molly Ivins, Al Franken, and Michael Moore. Unfortunately, one of the shows was Bill Maher. We went and it was just an f-bomb laden sexist diatribe full of dirty jokes. It was puerile. The only people laughing were two boys a few rows ahead of us who looked about 13, so that should tell you the level of humor and who the target audience was.

I'm glad you're as easily amused by your fellow DUers as you are by Maher.

We quit watching him about two years ago. His show was why we subscribed to HBO.
