Bill Maher's New Rule is that the Left needs its own version of the "looney-toon" Teabaggers.

Palin propagandist Stephen Bannon was on the panel last night, and he spent much of the time representing the Teabagger's complete ignorance of how government, politics, and math work. He attempted to attack President Obama several times and to blame the financial crisis on the Democrats and his policy decisions. 

The other guests, Joan Walsh, Dr. Neal deGrasse Tyson, and even chef Anthony Bourdain, kept having to correct the poor imbecile and explain to him exactly why he should have been paying attention in his Civics class instead of staring at the cheerleaders' pom poms.

By the way his celluloid embarrassment,  "The Undefeated," was ONLY mentioned one time.  And that was when Maher was introducing him to the audience.

Now why would Bannon go on a highly rated HBO program and NOT mention the Sarah Palin movie that supposedly he is so very proud of creating?

Bill Maher dissects Marcus and Michele Bachmann's (The indoor Palins) hypocrisy.

"Marcus hates government employees because sailors are so rough."

I loved that line.

The latest Palin family pregnancy makes it to Real Time.

Courtesy of Medaite:

“Sarah Palin in the news this week– became a grandmother again, or for the first time, who knows?” he joked, likely a reference to the conspiracy theories surrounding the birth of her fifth son Trig, though if alluding to that, this would be Palin’s “third” grandchild, so the joke didn’t exactly make sense. He clarified that the child was not Bristol’s, and then added exasperatedly, “do they not have condoms up there? When they say ‘don’t retreat, reload,’ they are not fucking around.” And, as no Palin bashing is complete without an intellect joke, he concluded, “If Bristol Palin really wanted to teach her family about abstinence, maybe the place to put that information wasn’t a book.”

By the way it is has been a week since I first reported that Britta was pregnant, and so far NOTHING from the Palin camp. It kind of makes you wonder if they really thought NOBODY was ever going to figure this out or not?

Bill Maher explains why Liberals dislike Sarah Palin and MIchele Bachmann. And why the Republicans think we don't, is NOT even close.

Now that was damn funny!

Some chilling words from Bill Maher.

I tend not to agree that Palin has a chance to become President, and I am always taken aback by the fact that there are many well educated people who believe it is not an impossibility.

I will say that if there was a devastating terrorist attack, and Obama was perceived to have not reacted adequately, that all bets are off as to how terrified and stupid the American people would suddenly become in response.

In THAT climate even an idiot like Sarah Palin, who did nothing but talk about God and American exceptional-ism, might actually have a shot.

However I have great confidence that Obama WOULD react appropriately, so this scenario is unlikely to present itself.

Anybody of a different opinion?

Bill Maher is NOT buying the moosepoop in Bristol Palin's new book.

This is VERY funny, and most of you will love it.

However for those of you unfamiliar with Bill Maher, or HBO for that matter, I should warn you that this clip contains adult content, so make sure the kids are not anywhere near your computer when you click "play."

Oh, and you probably should make sure your don't have a mouthful of coffee either.

"Yee Haw! Jesus Take the Wheel!" Bill Maher delivers must see New Rule about Rick Perry.

The video is not embeddable so the best I can do is direct you to click here so you can watch it over on Maher's Facebook page. But believe me it is well worth the effort.

Maher rips Perry, and the Evangelical Right, for praying to God to help solve our nation's problems, slams Perry for wanting to secede from the union, and compares the Governor of Texas to Sissy Spacek's mom in "Carrie."

Personally I found last night's show to be one of the best in quite awhile.

Bill Maher: "Republicanism has become a religion." I have to say that makes perfect sense to me.

Courtesy of Raw Story:

HBO’s Bill Maher told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Tuesday that “as a sane person,” it was tough to watch the Republican presidential candidates debate.

“Republicanism has — it’s really become a religion,” he noted. “And when I say religion, I mean they just have a series of baseless assertions that they cleave to, you know, and it’s like, if there was just one sane person in that room to give perspective, but there wasn’t.”

You know thinking about the Republican party in this way suddenly makes every crazy thing they do make sense.

This is why the Republicans are constantly talking about faith and values.  They are not talking about Christian faith and values, they are talking about the Church of Republicanism's faith and values.

Which apparently simply refers to an ability to suspend intellectual thought, ignore the suffering of the less fortunate, put the needs of the unborn before the needs of the living, and embrace a level of hypocrisy that would make Jesus weep.

I would imagine that the deity they worship is no longer the God of the Old Testament, but rather a mythologized version of Ronald Reagan.

Bill Maher, and his panel, have a field day with the carnage that resulted from Sarah Palin's bus tour.

Look how HARD Melissa Harris-Perry laughs at Sarah Palin's ridiculous misstatement about Paul Revere.

Take notice Palin-bots, that is how EVERYBODY reacted to that clip.  No matter how hard the idiots over at the Sea O'Pee try to bullshit their way out of this, Palin is a complete dumb fuck, and every time she opens her mouth she is doing her opponents work for them.

In other words NONE of us ever have to really "make things up" about Palin or her family.  All we have to do is bring the truth about them out for everybody to see.

And do you know who I consider my most important source?  Here's a hint, she spent the last couple of days handing out autographed copies of a document that she does not even understand.

(BTW if that hint was too vague for you then go ahead and  click that link up above and you will find a community of people who will never make you feel like the dumb kid in class again.)
